Excavation Calculator
Calculate cut volume in bank and loose cubic yards, apply soil swell and shrink factors, and estimate haul truck loads. Reference: earthwork quantity take-off.
Swell +25% and shrink −10% are typical mid-range values for common earth (loam); actual soils vary. OSHA 1926 Subpart P governs allowable slopes by soil class — verify before cutting.
