    Process your earthwork data in a few clicks and optimize your project calculations

    Quick earthwork estimates


    • Estimate earthwork per group of structures


      • Accurately calculate earthwork by area and visualize them in 3D layouts.



    • Assess undulation tolerance

      • Compare the difference in length between piles in a structure, stretching them to match the terrain while keeping the pile depth constant.



    • Include pile length and slopes measurements 

      • Consider the different criteria and limitations to apply the correct amount of earthwork.



    Accurate project results


    • Calculate optimal structures


      • Include optimized data of a group of mounting structures for a more realistic design which can be used to calculate the cut and fill volume with better accuracy.



    • Optimize peak power

      • Use our software to group adjacent structures requiring earthworks into larger platforms, improving the constructability of the design and potentially boosting peak power.



    • Define structure limits 

      • Leverage the option to include structure installation limits and to remove installations above the limit value set by your manufacturer.



    Easy access to documentation


    • Include results in wide range of documents


      • Earthwork calculations will be included in documents such as your Bill of quantities, topography analysis, structure profiles and design reports.



    • Share detailed documents 

      • Your report will include information like the maximum cut depth and fill height of each platform.



    • Create professional documentation

      • The reports generated can be edited and shared in your proposals for stakeholders in different formats like .pdf and .docx.
