Calculation of earthworks and rock excavation

Calculating earthwork and rock excavation volumes using BIM involves a number of processes and analyses to determine the volumes and characteristics of land masses and rock masses.

Here are some of them:

Analysis of rock rubble volumes

Using BIM, the volume of rock that is generated by various types of mining operations such as blasting, mine and quarry development is analyzed and calculated. This allows optimizing the rock excavation process and waste management.

Assessment of the degree of structural subsidence

BIM allows the deformation of various structures, including reinforced concrete and other materials, to be analyzed with respect to changes in the ground and rocks as a result of construction activities. This helps to identify potential problems and take measures to prevent them.

Object condition assessment and 3D model creation

BIM is used to create a 3D model of facilities and their surroundings, allowing for a more accurate assessment of condition and potential risks. 3D modeling also facilitates data visualization and analysis.

Calculation of rock reserves

Using BIM, rock reserves can be calculated based on geological data and mining volumes. This enables efficient resource planning and optimized mining processes.

Drawing up plans for quarries or mines

BIM enables the creation of pit and mine plans, optimizing the location of mine sites, material transportation routes and other aspects of production. This helps to improve mining efficiency and reduce costs.

Using BIM to calculate excavation and rock excavation provides more accurate data, optimizes production processes and improves construction management efficiency.

01

Data accuracy and reliability

The use of BIM enables excavation and rock excavation calculations to be performed with high accuracy, providing reliable data for planning and managing construction projects.

02

Optimization of production processes

Analysis of the volume of rock rubble, assessment of the condition of objects and creation of a 3D model allow to optimize production processes, improve planning and resource management.

03

Improved site security

Assessing the extent of structural subsidence and identifying where deformation has occurred helps prevent potential accidents and incidents at the site, providing an increased level of safety for personnel and the environment.

04

Efficient use of resources

Rock stockpile calculations and pit or mine plans optimize resource utilization and minimize material extraction losses, which helps reduce construction costs.

05

Transparency and risk management

The use of BIM provides data transparency and allows for better management of risks associated with production processes and facility operations.

06

Innovative technologies and solutions

The application of BIM reflects a modern approach to construction, allowing customers to use innovative technologies and solutions to optimize projects and achieve better results.

07

Integration with other processes

Calculating earthwork quantities using BIM integrates with other design and construction processes, providing a unified and consistent approach to project delivery.

Work process

Stages of volume calculation:

The first phase involves meeting with the client to discuss their needs, project objectives, and specific BIM modeling requirements.

First, all necessary project data is collected, including geodetic measurements, geologic site characteristics, project parameters, and other information.

Laser scanning is used to measure an object or a plot of land to create a three-dimensional model with high accuracy. This provides detailed information about the object and its surroundings.

The obtained 3D model data is imported into specialized BIM software, where the analysis and calculation of earthworks and rock excavation volumes are performed.

Based on the imported data, calculations of excavation and rock excavation volumes are performed. This includes analyzing the volume of rock blockages, assessing the degree of subsidence of various structures, assessing the condition of facilities and other calculations.

Upon completion of the calculations, appropriate reports and documentation are prepared, containing detailed data on the scope of work, site condition analysis, risk assessment and other information.

The obtained results can be visualized in the form of graphs, diagrams, three-dimensional models and other formats, which provides a more visual representation to the customer about the state of the object and the scope of work.

Once reports and documentation are prepared, specialists can consult with the customer to discuss findings, identify needs and decide on next steps.

Stages of work

How we work:

The client fills out an order form, indicating project details, job requirements, contact information and other necessary information.

In the order form, the client is given the opportunity to specify what he/she values in the service, for example, an individual approach, the possibility to communicate directly with specialized specialists, flexible terms of cooperation and other advantages that he/she expects to receive.

The customer clicks the "Submit" button or similar element on the order form to submit their request for processing.

After submitting the order form, the customer is notified that their request has been successfully received by the company.

A company specialist receives a request from a client and begins processing it. The specialist may contact the client to clarify details or suggest alternatives.

Based on the information received and the client's requirements, the company prepares a proposal that specifies the terms of work, terms, cost of the service and other important details.

If the client agrees with the proposal, he signs a contract with the company to perform the service and determines the terms of payment.

The company's team begins work on the development of design and working documentation in accordance with the requirements and terms agreed with the client.

The Specialist oversees the work process, ensuring deadlines and quality are met.

Once the work is completed, the client receives a finished result that has passed quality control and meets their expectations.
