Working from your CAD files drastically reduces the time necessary to estimate lengths, areas and volumes, provides data in infinitely greater detail, and dramatically reduces the variation between estimated and actual quantities. In addition, all estimating can be completed in a very short turnaround time.
The low cost of this valuable information now makes it possible for use in all phases of project development from financial feasibility studies, to design, to bidding, to change order negotiation.

Come see some sample work.

 

EARTHWORK ANALYSIS
With this timely and low cost method, SDS, utilizing your Conceptual, Rough Grading, Preliminary, or Final Site Plan provides detailed Cut, Fill, Import, and Export Volumes classified not only by soil type and suitability for fill, but also by site usage areas such as buildings, parking, and landscape and structural and non-structural fill volumes.

PlotterProfiles and 3-Dimensional Views taken as desired anywhere on the site graphically illustrate existing grade, proposed grades, and up to 9 different substrata layers such as rock and clay.

Color Coded Site Cut/Fill Plans of any typical scale show proposed elevations, existing elevations, substrata elevations, and depth of cut or fill at any location on the site.

Variations for Raising or Lowering the Site, or any specific part of it,
are computed in order to obtain the critical balanced site elevations and volumes
necessary to bring the import of export of material to an absolute minimum.

Blasting & Rock Excavation Quantities can be provided for mass excavation,
foundations, and utilities.

STRATA AND TOPOGRAPHICAL LAYERS
In addition to our normal cut and fill volume calculations, we can use your soil boring information and provide you with quantities and a topographic cut plan in any layer, such as rock or clay. We can also provide a plan showing depth to any layer from existing or proposed grade elevations.

WE CAN HELP YOU!
