Track Progress Volumes

A preconfigured set of daily calculations and three views enable you to easily see the volumes of cut and fill materials moved on your job site on a day-over-day basis. These progress volume features allow you to analyze earthmoving progress during any time period you specify and in any project area you choose.

The data for progress volume views comes from both machine TAG (.tag) files and surface surveys (.ttm). When importing a .ttm file for progress volume calculations, always specify that it is surveyed surface and select the data and time to which it applies; doing this timestamps and dates the survey data to align it with any machine data that is automatically imported in the same time frame. 

If you have applied material density (shrinkage  and/or bulkage) factors for materials, the reported volumes reflect this. 

Note:  Progress volumes functionality is not specifically connected to the Dashboard and Map screens. I.e., the dashboard does not account for progress volumes; this means the dashboard calculations (other than Today or Yesterday) will not match progress volumes as the filter setup and calculations are different on the dashboard.

To access the dashboard, click the Dashboard icon on your left-hand navigation bar. The dashboard automatically includes these five dynamic Work Completed date range widgets that support common workflows for volume calculations:

Calculate Work Completed progress from a survey

Work completed on the Progress Volumes page can calculate progress from any surveyed surface. These surveyed surfaces must be imported as a TTM file into WorksOS. The survey date is used to automatically calculate the change between the survey and the current surface for each day. This view provides a quick way to understand the change in the volumes from a known starting point over time. 

Default project dashboard

These represent total cut and fill quantities for the specified time periods. With just a surveyed surface, e.g., Original Ground, as soon as your machines start working, the daily or weekly difference from time frame to time frame can be calculated.

You can also add a Work Remaining widget, which is always relative to a specific design that you imported. This design gives you a surface to compare to.

The widgets are built from existing filters.
