Sections Reports

Sections Reports

The Sections Report Interface provides a detailed breakdown of volume calculations for cross-sections along an alignment. This report helps analyze earthwork requirements, track cut and fill areas, and calculate total material volumes for construction projects.

1. Key Features of the Sections Report

Automated Cut/Fill Analysis – Calculates excavation and embankment volumes for each section.
Detailed Volume Breakdown – Provides chaining, areas, and total volume calculations.
Multiple Volume Comparisons – Generates separate tables for each volume calculation performed.
Text Format Export – Saves reports for further analysis and documentation.

2. Understanding the Sections Report

Once the "Report" button is selected, the interface displays a structured breakdown of the volume calculations.

Report Content Overview

Data Field

Description

Chaining

Defines the stationing (chainage) of each section.

Cut Area

Surface area excavated for the section.

Fill Area

Surface area filled for the section.

Cut Volume

Total excavation volume for the section.

Fill Volume

Total embankment volume for the section.

Total Volume

Net earthwork volume (cut - fill).

Each volume calculation will have its own dedicated table within the report.

3. Exporting and Saving Reports

At the bottom of the interface, options are available to save the report in text format for documentation and external analysis.

Standard Text Format Export – Save as a TXT file for compatibility with most software.
Data Archiving – Store historical reports to track project progress over time.

4. Best Practices for Section Reporting

Use the report to monitor earthwork quantities and ensure compliance with design specifications.
Compare multiple volume calculations to assess different surface layers.
Export reports for project documentation and share with stakeholders.
Use chaining values to correlate sections with real-world locations on-site.
