Earthworks for InRoads V8i

1. Earthworks for InRoads V8i

2. Objectives

3. Starting InRoads • Start InRoads

4. Create a component bounded by top and rock surfaces

5. End-Area Volumes Evaluation > Volumes > End-Area Volume • Calculated from cross sections • Surfaces must be opened • Enable Create XML Report for printable output • Select the appropriate surfaces

6. Unsuitable Material End-Area Volume > Unsuitable Material by Feature - or - End-Area Volume > Unsuitable Material by Station • Used for topsoil stripping and muck removal • Specify the depth of the material • Based on closed features or by station • Closed features • Represents the stripping or muck removal boundary • Should be “Exclude from Triangulation” • Must intersect at least two points on each cross section • Elevations of the feature points are not used • Feature Style used appears in volumes.xsl report

7. Volume Exceptions and Classifications

8. Compaction/Expansion

9. Compute End-Area Volume • Setup the General leaf • Setup the Unsuitable Material by Feature leaf • Setup the Classifications leaf • Setup the Compaction/Expansion leaf • Setup the Volume Exceptions leaf • Compute the end-area volume • Review the reports • Save the Parameters file

10. InRoads + Quantity Manager = Results • InRoads Quantity Tools • Define pay items • Assign pay items to “engineered” data • Compute quantities • Create quantity database • Quantity Manager Application • Read quantity database created by InRoads • Assign bidding and funding parameters (optional) • Export quantity information to external applications such as Trns*port (optional) • Create quantity reports

11. InRoads Quantity Tools • Available as Add-in Application • Appear on Quantities menu once enabled

12. Pay Item Database • Intelligence behind quantity calculations • Pay Item Name • Pay Item Code • Description • Unit • Formula for computing quantity • Each • Linear • Area • Volume • Rounding and deduction parameters

13. Assigning Pay Items • Assign Pay Items tool • Quantities > Assign Pay Items • Point and click graphical assignments • Assign to DTM Feature or MicroStation Graphics

14. Computing and Extracting Quantities • Computes Quantities -> QM Database • From DTM Features and Graphics • Computations based on • Entire project • Sheet Quantities Quantity Manager Reports Exporting QM Database InRoads Quantity Tools InRoads Features MicroStation Graphics

15. Quantity Manager Application • Reports • Export • Funding Participation and rules • Phasing

16. Report and Export Contents • Quantity items displayed in the Quantity pane (upper right) controls report and export content • To select all Quantities • Manual Mode • Expand and individually select all Pay Items in left pane • Automatic Mode • Enable View > Expand Quantity Categories • Select root in the left pane

17. Reporting • Generated from Quantity Manager Application • Built in Formats • HTML and CSV Formats • Customizable with some XML Programming
