Calculating The Volume of an Excavation

This video will explain the process for calculating the volume of material that will need to be carted off site when digging an excavation for a foundation on a level lot. The math is all in imperial - the process is identical in metric. If you are working in metric, be sure to convert all dimensions to meters before doing any calculations.

    Straight forward, not some arcane wizard on a calculator lesson. Thanks for a well thought out lesson.

    Thank you, Bernard, for sharing the knowledge. Used to calculate the excavation cubes but yes, at the end of the day the hauling units are always in MTs which will be hard to track, as the tonnage always differs according to the different types of soil ...

    Great video explained really clearly. On project this is what can make or break budget. You can use software but software without understanding the basic principles can be very costly. Thank you for great video..

    Super helpful video! The one last valuable thing at the end would be to know how much volume to weight that is, the cubik ft/m3 is helpful but the final key number is to know the weight of that material and then you know how many trucks you need to get the job done. Great video, hope to see more videos like this!

    You've simplified something that the textbooks over complicate. They would have us figure excavation with grids, figuring out volume square by square.

    Also easier way to do the average, which I came up with when you mentioned making it a box. Is by simply adding one side for the cut instead of doing all that work, really.
