Selected Report Components

Line Summary tab

Use this tab to review the total horizontal and slope lengths in the reported utility network, broken down by site improvement type. Both the 2D and 3D lengths are reported here. The totals are reported both for node to node length and end to end length.

1. node to node length (based on utility node insertion points); utility line lengths are calculated between the planimetric centers of the utility nodes attached to the lines.
2. end to end length (based on utility line end types)

1. horizontal length (2D)
2. slope length (3D)

Figure: Horizontal length vs slope length (side view)

Shows the type of utility line being reported on.

Horizontal length - Shows the cumulative 2D/planimetric distance between the insertion points (usually the centers) of utility node blocks attached to the utility lines.

Slope length - Shows the cumulative 3D distance between the insertion points (usually the centers) of utility nodes blocks attached to the utility lines.

Horizontal length - Shows the cumulative 2D/planimetric distance between the ends of the utility lines (which are based on the specified end type for each site improvement).

Slope length - Shows the cumulative 3D distance between the ends of the utility lines (which are based on the specified end type for each site improvement).

Line Takeoff tab

Use this tab to review the design lengths for each line within the specified depth zones in each run of the utility network. It also reports the length totals for the entire network. This tab has a section for each utility network and each run within that network.

This tab also shows the total cost to install the utility line (not including nodes). The depth zones represent the amount of work to install the line. The backfill material costs and utility line unit cost are also reported.

Note: One or more rows between each run's headings and it totals are hidden by default, but can be expanded one-at-a-time by double-clicking the small, double line where rows are hidden. Each hidden row on this tab does not represent a pipe, but rather the station at which the run is evaluated. You will see one row at the end of each pipe, but also where templates are inserted and locations where the settings specify to evaluate it. This page only reports the length of each pipe (not how many pipe lengths are placed in the run). The Totals row sums all of the hidden rows for that utility run.

Shows the station (along the run) at which the reported utility line/pipe begins. '?' means that no station was specified when the run was created.

Shows the planimetric length of the pipe between the reported stations, which may vary slightly from the station value difference because the length is measured (but unshown) to more decimal places.

Shows the name of the site improvement specified for the utility line.

Shows the name of the trench template assigned to the reported utility run (of which the reported line is a part).

Shows the length of each utility line per depth zone (calculated along the pipe's profile).

Depth zone columns are taken from all templates used across the network. Depth is calculated from target surface to bottom of the trench. Zones:

• are sorted by starting depth, then ending depth.
• are separated per trench template.
• are reported as "-" if not applicable or with 0.0 if the zone applies, but the pipe has no length.

Example: Two different templates that share depth zones 5-10 and 10-12 appear like this:

Shows the unit cost to dig the trench to the zone's maximum depth, as specified for the template in the Trench Template Manager.

Note: This displays the currency format that you have set in Microsoft Windows® Regional and Language Options. The units and calculations, however, are are not associated with a specific currency, so if a project is opened on a computer with different regional settings, no conversion between currencies has been made.

Shows the unit cost of a unit of the pipe, as specified in the Material and Site Improvement Manager.

Shows the total volume of the backfill material for the site improvement and template combination along the length of the pipe.

Note: Each row shows a single site improvement + template.

Shows the per unit cost of backfill material, as specified in the Material and Site Improvement Manager.

Shows the total per unit cost (per meter/foot cost of total of depth cost + utility cost + backfill cost).

Shows the total cost for each site improvement for all previous rows with the listed site improvement, regardless of template.

Note: Depth columns can appear for <0 when the line is above the surface and > maximum depth when the depth exceeds a maximum specified depth. Both of these assume a zero depth cost.

Calculations tab

Use this tab to see mass earthwork volumes for the utility network and trenches; this is essentially the soil to be removed when creating the trench, separated by strata type. Calculations are, based on a projection of the trench template to the target surface. The accumulated bank excess/deficit volume and the accumulated cut and fill volumes are reported at each station. The backfill (displaced) + backfill = total of the backfill.

Sections are reported at the locations of each template and at the locations of node transitions. When you enable the Adjust at nodes setting, a calculation template is placed before and after the node at ½ the node width + the node thickness + the node offset (template setting). Another calculation template is placed at ½ the width + node thickness away from the previous template to transition back to the standard template shape.

When a node is at the beginning or end of a run, only one calculation template is placed before or after the run at a station of ½ the width + node thickness + node offset distance.

Note: A headwall style node has no thickness; instead, you specifies the width, which is not based on the block used to draw the node.

Each run can have a different target surface, so the name of the target surface is shown in the section title.

When a run starts from a node contained within another run, the trench and computed volumes will overlap. You can compensate for this by making the template start at the station that intersects the edge of the other trench. If the run crosses or ends at another node, you can insert a null template to stop the trench calculations. The trench surface that can be created does not affect these volumes.

Note: Red text in this tab is the cut in-situ or geometrical values, which does not consider shrink/swell/usability of the material. Blue text in this tab is the fill/backfill in-situ or 'geometrical' values and do not consider shrink/swell/usability of the material.
Note: If a utility line/pipe protrudes above the target surface, volumes are shown as "-". This is likely an unintended scenario that you should confirm.

Shows the from and to station for a section of the run based on the specified station interval, as well as important HAL points, such as the start/stop of curves, when a station equation break occurs, when a corridor template changes, and when a utility line site improvement is encountered.

Note: On this tab, The first station may be odd or irregular up to the first instance of the increment specified.

Shows the cut area (bounded by the target surface and trench template shape) at the reporting station's cross-section.

Shows the cut volume (calculated using the average end-area method) between the previous cross-sectional area reporting station and the current station.

Shows the total cumulative cut volume from the beginning of the run to the current station.

Shows the accumulated, uncompacted loose volume (cut volume * loose haulage factor) of material that will be dug up to this point. The loose haulage amount considers the hauling bulkage of each strata material, but does not consider the usability.

Note: This value uses the material density states of the native, in-situ material and is only shown if you checked Account for shrinkage and bulkage in the command.
If strata exists, these are reported in an additional column:

• Volume per strata volume, including unusable materials, with the loose haulage factor applied to each strata material
• Total loose volume

Shows the accumulated, compacted volume (cut volume * shrinkage factor) of material that may be dug up and then backfilled into the trench. This column considers the shrinkage and usability of all strata materials combined. This will be the total material that can be used for backfill. If you want to waste a strata material being excavated, then it should be set to 0% usable in the Material and Site Improvement Manager.

If strata exist, these are reported in an additional column:

• Volume per strata, excluding unusable materials, with the shrinkage factor applied to each strata material
• Total compacted volume

Note: If no strata has been defined, this value uses the material density properties of the native, in-situ material and is only shown if you checked Account for shrinkage and bulkage in the command.

Each stratum (as ordered in Define Strata dialog) along the network has two columns: Area and Accumulated (volume).

At each reported station increment, all strata (3 below) encountered in the trench (2 below) (based on the nearest site borehole data (1 below)) is used to calculate the cross-sectional areas of the materials that need to be dug out.

Shows the accumulated cut volume (using the average end area method) for each stratum between each station increment (from the beginning station to this one.

Each backfill material along the network has three columns: Displaced (area), Area, and Accumulated (volume).

Shows the cross-sectional area of backfill material that the utility line displaces at the station (1 below). The accumulated utility line + accumulated backfill = accumilated bank cut.

Shows the cross-sectional area of trench material at the reported station (solid area above).

Shows the cumulative volume (using average end area method) of trench backfill (not including displaced material) from the beginning station to this station.

This shows the area and volume occupied in the trench by the utility line itself.

Shows the cross-sectional area of the utility line at the reported station.

Shows the volume occupied by the utility line between stations (area * (to station - from station)), assuming that the lines have the same shape at both ends.

Shows the accumulated volume of excess or deficit material from the beginning station to this station. The compacted excess/deficit column is calculated by subtracting the accumulated native material specified for the run from the compacted fill supplied.

Node Summary tab

Use this tab to review the total count of each utility node (by site improvement type) in the reported utility network, as well as the nodes' cumulative design heights (generally the depths below the target surface).

Note: Nodes that are in the network, but not any run, are also reported.

Shows the general type of utility node being reported on.

Shows the specific site improvement type of utility node being reported on.

Shows the number of instances of each node in the network. Individual nodes are counted only once, regardless of how many utility runs they are in.

Shows the cumulative sum of all of the nodes' heights, as measured from the invert to the rim (usually so you can determine how many vertical feet will need to be dug when constructing all of the utility node site improvements).

Note: This value is only reported for manholes and junction boxes; other node types do not have an invert and rim elevation from which to calculate the heights.

Node Takeoff tab

Use this tab to see information about utility nodes per utility run, listed from the beginning station to the end station (based on stationing of the run). Nodes are not counted more than once when they are part of multiple runs (see more under Existing below). You can also review design height and elevations for each node in each run of the reported utility network. It also reports both height totals for the entire network.

Shows the ID of the run.

Show the station at the center (insertion point) of the reported utility node.

Shows the ID of the node.

Shows the optional descriptive text for the node.

Nodes that already exist are listed, but not counted in design height totals nor in the count total at the bottom of the tab. Nodes that are not included in any run are also counted.

• Yes - Indicates that a node is part of a utility network that has already been built on the site, so the node is not counted in takeoff quantity calculations. (4 red stars appear in the Design height column).
• No - Indicates that the node is counted in quantity counts.
• Duplicate - Indicates this this is an additional listing of a previously listed and counted node, so it is not recounted in quantity counts (4 red stars appear in the Design height column).

Shows the name of the utility node site improvement.

Shows the kind of node: fitting, manhole, junction box, or headwall

Shows the elevation of the invert.

Shows the elevation at the top of the utility node.

Shows each node's design height and total design height for the run.

Shows each node's volume (height x area of site improvement) and total node volumes for the run.

Note: This volume is reported for manholes and junction boxes, but not for headwalls.
Note: This volume is not considered in the Line Takeoff tab or the Calculations tab. You should consider this volume in the compacted excess/deficit volume.
