Cut (m3)

Fill (m3)

Borrow (m3)

Waste (m3)

Haul (m3)

1. Construct a Mass Haul Diagram.

2. Complete the table.

3. Determine the volume of borrow or waste.

4. Given the following cost estimates, determine the cost of this particular earthwork:

Cost of cutting, hauling and filling = RM 10 per cubic meter

Cost of removing unwanted soil (waste) = RM 3 per cubic meter

Cost of acquiring, hauling and filling of borrow soil = RM 6 per cubic meter

1. Refer to diagram

2. Refer to the table

3. Borrow = 558 m3

4. Cut-haul-fill volume = 26,957 m3 Cost = RM 10 x 26,957 = RM 269,570

Borrow volume = 558 m3 Cost = RM 6 x 558 = RM 3,348

Total cost = RM 272,918
