This command reports the horizontal distances for the range of
depths
comparing a surface profile to a trench, pipe or sewer profile. There
is an
option
to use two surface profiles and the program will use the minimum of the
two depths. In addition to the report, the depth ranges can be labeled
along
the profile in the drawing.
The simplest of applications of this command, comparing a sewer profile to a surface profile and reporting the depth summary according to the specified Depth Zones, is shown below.
Use Trench Template for Volumes: Trench templates are
made
using the command Input-Edit Trench Template within the Profile
Utilities
"flyout". Trench earthwork volumes are then computed.
Report Backfill Volumes: Available if trench templates is
clicked on.
Use Rock Strata Profile: If clicked on, the Rock Profile
can be entered in the lower portion of the dialog, and if the pipe
invert
is below rock surfaces along any segment, rock linear feet will be
reported,
in the same depth categories as used for trench depths. In the
example
shown below, if rock depth is uniformly 5 feet below surface elevation,
in
the form of a rock profile, rock quantities are 348 feet of 0-2 feet
depth
of rock trenching.
Use 2nd Surface Profile to Minimize Cut: If the final
grade
is below existing grade, in those areas, it saves trenching work to
first
do the cut to final grade, prior to filling over existing grade in
areas
of fill. Then trench depths are minimized. This option, if
clicked
on, computes trench depths to the minimum of the two specified
surfaces,
and activates the 2nd Surface Profile option in the lower portion of
the
dialog.
Extend Shorter Profile to Longer Profile: This option will
extrapolate the starting and ending stations of the shorter profile to
match
the longer profile.
Draw Zone Dimensions on Profile: The depth zones will be
annotated along the horizontal axis of a profile drawing with this
option.
Report Manhole Depth Summary: This leads to the depth
summary
report.
Depth Zones: These zones are for reporting the pipe range of
depth. The depths should be entered in lowest to highest order. Use the
Next and Back buttons to move between the 20 possible depth values.
