Assignment: During the course of construction work, it is often necessary to conduct site preparation and excavation works for the foundations of buildings. For this project, you are given the site preparation and excavation works for the foundation of a large residential project close to downtown Miami. The land is 300 yards long and 200 yards wide. The site is reasonably level terrain with firm ground and approximately less than 25% rock content. The project specifications require excavating 4 ft. of the entire land area. You have identified a disposal site 3 miles away from the jobsite with a 6% slope upwards from the site to the disposal. The soil is majorly made up of common earth with 25% swell. You can make reasonable assumptions wherever information is not provided in the project description (e.g., about soil density and moisture content of the soil, etc.). You need to clearly state your assumptions before making any calculations. You are required to define an equipment crew composition (e.g., mix of dozers, excavators, hauling trucks, loaders, etc.) that you will use for this project. You need to search the web to identify appropriate equipment brands and models for your job.
