Excavation and Fill Quantities"
Experimental tools:
1-Leveling device
2- Ruler indicator
3- Tripod supports
Purpose of the experiment :
Work land for excavation and lling
2
How it works :
We take the BM of the area to be worked on, and then we
take an initial reading and other readings at regular
distances. The number of readings depends on the area to
be measured. This allows us to know the sloping areas and
the elevated areas. We then level the land by digging or
lling and knowing how many soil transport vehicles are
coming or going. This method is the approved method in
agriculture, construction, water dams and other projects.

4. Effectiveness in Large-Scale Projects:
For large-scale projects, such as roads or vast land areas, leveling
instruments demonstrate high ef ciency in managing operations and
reducing the time required for completion.
5. Learning from Mistakes:
The experiment highlights the importance of regularly comparing
design elevations with eld elevations to avoid over-excavation or
insuf cient lling.
General Conclusion:
Leveling instruments are indispensable tools for estimating
excavation and ll quantities, ensuring accuracy, ef ciency, and cost-
effectiveness, making them essential for successful earthwork
operations.
