  • Calculate Earth work Quantity based on cross section

    Hi friends, I have some query about the earth work calculation when we generated cross section based on existing surface and design surface then normally the volume quantity comes fill & Cut some amount in the section and normal get the prepared sub…

  • End-area volumes problem

    Hey Power Civil SS4. 08.11.09.878. I have some issues with calculations of end-area volumes. It seems that Power Civil is calculating at each station, but not showing totals. It has worked on previous version 08.11.09.845. Edgaras
  • By Open RoadsDesigner, how to separately calculate the earthworks volume?

    Hi, In Open RoadsDesigner, how to separately calculate the earthworks volume? The model has 3 terrains (existing top surface, strong weathering rock layer, and medium weathering rock layer). See the following screenshots: But, in the Component…
  • Earthwork Design in Cut Section

    Dear The question is about earthwork design in cut section. In the cut section we want to intersect earthwork slope with the subgrade bottom layer. so that we can cut the existing ground up to the subgrade bottom layer and fill it with the greater CBR…
  • [V8i] End-Area Volume Problem in Cross Sections

    Hi everyone, i have a problem when i make volume calculations. I have a different type road section, with tunnel and with a channel between them. The road passes through a river so we make some culverts under the tunnels for construction. My problem…
  • Proposed Finished Earthwork Estimation

    The Proposed Finished Grade can be imported into SITEOPS to generate grading and cost estimates. Additionally, closed surfaces can be imported, or created in SITEOPS, to generate grading and cost estimates to the construction subgrade. Items such as Compaction…
  • OpenRoads Earthwork

    Hello, I am using Geopak SS4 and I am trying to get earthwork values similar to legacy Geopak products. I have created proposed corridor models and an existing conditions model using surface templates (existing pavement, topsoil, sidewalk etc.) and…
  • Earthwork issues

    I am trying to calculate earthwork that must include existing base and existing curb and existing sidewalk quantities. However, these quantities should only be fill volumes since their excavation volumes are being paid for under a separate pay item. Is…
  • Earthwork Issues - Existing Features Surface Template

    I am currently attempting to calculate Earthwork using the InRoads method for a reconstruction job. TL;DR version : The existing features templates from my GKLNRD01 file are showing as "Design" instead of "Existing" in the earthwork tool. This is…
  • [OpenRoads] Can the End-Area Volumes Command Do What I Need?

    I'm trying to figure out how to get the above quantities from the End-Area Volumes tool in OpenRoads. Is it possible to do this all with a single template? How can I create a component for the 1:1 side slope of the subgrade cut (grey dashed line) that…
  • GeoPAK Earthwork Input file

    I am running Microstation SS2 with GeoPAK and am currently doing earthwork via input files. I have ran several roads today and they have all ran without issues. I have just been doing a "save as" to make new input files and now I am getting this: …
  • The Earthwork tool in ss3 not recognizing Cross Section Model

    I'm trying to do the earthwork for a pond in ss3, however when I open up the Earthwork tool in the FDOT Plans Development task it doesn't recognize a Cross Section Model. Has anyone else run across this issue and know a way to fix it? Thanks, D…
  • EARTHWORK INTERSECTION QUERY :MX ROAD V81 SS1 SS2

    Hi, has anyone ever found that the earthwork strings are joing themselves weirdly in benching section . Please see the attached screenshot. Please explain why it is happenig and how to avoid it ? Thanks.
  • Area Of Cross Section

    I want to calculate the Area of cross section at every 20 m interval. I have already developed the cross section. Area should come in layer wise like blanketing and sub grade, Filing or cutting at every 20 m interval.
  • earthwork template not working properly

    I am using a template with top of bank (fill) 8.87m wide, i needed 10m wide so amended it but after running it still shows a 8.87m wide, can any one plz have a look at this template and advise plz( its named as single track in attached itl file)
  • cut and fill

    hi every one i have few question about earth work in power rail track. Will keep it brief. 1-how to show cut and fill in different colours plan view, 2-how to show bridges and tunnels in different colour in vertical profile. 3-I think the end…
  • GEOPAK Road Tools Earthworks Error

    I am working on creating mass diagrams for a large earth moving project. I have earthwork running to include separate approaches and connections by using the add/subtract options within earthwork. There is a multi factor used on all earthened fill. I…
  • Back Track a .GEN file into Micrstation/GEOPAK

    To Back Track a .GEN file into Micrstation/GEOPAK: 1. Create a new project under the Survey tool bar. 2. Create a new Data set. 3. Delete the header and footer of each file. File should look like this when done: 4. Then bring into…
  • Direction of Depressions

    Hi, I don't fully understand the option 'Draw Depressions Couterclockwise' under the Advanced tab in the View Contours box. Why and when should this be used? Jean Castro
  • Why can't Geopak Zero out XS that don't have proposed?

    As I do my earthwork runs, I have some construction that starts and stops and starts again. I would like Geopak to read those sections without proposed construction as "Zero volumes". Instead it skips over them, carrying earthwork quantities through areas…
  • SS3 area template component quantities / volume

    Is it possible to obtain component quantities report and volumes for an area template, if so how is it done regards, Juan Solorzano
  • Earthwork Error Message - XS-W-Dangprop

    Geopak V8i 08.11.07.615 I'm running Geopak Earthwork on cross sections and am constantly getting the "XS-W-DANGPROP Proposed undercut element between points:..." The earthworks ran fine in Geopak v8. I tried unlocking all elements and adjusting…
  • [IR SS2] Repeating Triangle Volume Report during project lifetime, How to?

    Hi volks, What if you have huge projects from a building site with lots of stages for earthworks and your client, a building company needs reports of lots of volume calculation for billing purposes. Lets say we have several surveys from the stages…
