volume reporting for Excel<br />

cross sections with shading used to represent materials replacement.<br />

a triangle model was created of the original terrain and the<br />

blasted salvo, so that the volume between triangle models<br />

function could be used.<br />

Parkingplace Trysilfjellet<br />

tion of terrain model where it has been shown that<br />

the existing road does not match the terrain model<br />

used in planning. The road was re-surveyed and<br />

included in the terrain model at a higher priority, so<br />

that I did not need to remove any of the original terrain<br />

data. Rock was also found in the section. This<br />

was surveyed and added to the terrain model as a<br />

layer in the ground. The next element was the<br />

replacement of marsh, both across the entire or<br />

parts of the road width. This was surveyed and<br />

entered in the terrain model in the same way as the<br />

rock. The road model was then recalculated.<br />

I should also mention that the new version<br />

<strong>Novapoint</strong> 17 7 was used, which has several new<br />

details which were very useful in the project. First<br />

and foremost was the option to end a layer in the<br />

ground vertically, where materials replacement did<br />

not extend across the entire road width. I would<br />

also like to mention the new volume reporting for<br />

Excel, which is very well structured and clear.<br />

Here you can obtain the volumes you need and volumes<br />

for each profile at the intervals you have<br />

selected.<br />

When this was completed, cross sections were<br />

drawn in the drawing with shading used to represent<br />

materials replacement.<br />

After surveying has been completed and has been<br />

imported into the terrain model, calculating the project<br />

before and after corrections is simply achieved<br />

by turning off and on different layers. This really<br />

shows you the benefits of being able to check volumes.<br />

If this job had not been carried out by checking in<br />

the terrain model etc, we would have accepted the<br />

volumes specified in the contract, which in this case<br />

would have resulted in us having to carry out a<br />

great deal of work for free.<br />

Before we purchased this program, we had to check<br />

everything manually, which was also not as accurate<br />

as the result we achieved here. Increasingly busy<br />

working days also does mean that we probably<br />

would have accepted the volumes specified in the<br />

contract.<br />

The costs of the investment can therefore be quickly<br />

covered in the course of a relatively low number<br />

of projects.<br />

VOLUME CALCULATIONS OF A ShOOTING<br />

RANGE FACE IN DEIFJELLET<br />

The last significant project was a volume calculation<br />

of a shooting range face in Deifjellet, Regionfelt<br />

Østlandet. John Galten AS had a contract with The<br />

Norwegian Defence Estates Agency for blasting,<br />

crushing and transport of rock for use in the construction<br />

of the firing range.
