Soil Handling: 

Soil Handling Move it once and move it fast.

Excavator & Truck: 

Excavator & Truck One method of moving soil.

Excavation Techniques: 

Excavation Techniques Excavation Techniques Scraper Excavator/Trucks Efficient Hauling Excavation Planning Soil Management Plan Soil Stockpile Management Estimating Production using Vehicle Simulation

Excavation: Getting Maximum Production: 

Excavation: Getting Maximum Production Payload Use Load growth curve Cycle Time Length of haul road Condition of haul road Slope of haul road

The Optimum Load: 

The Optimum Load Big Loads Look Good Small Loads Go Fast But the goal is to get the most dirt hauled in the most efficient manner… that means to go for the optimum load

Trucks Getting Maximum Production: 

Trucks Getting Maximum Production Payload Use an efficient filling pattern Minimize loading unit travel Cycle Time Length of haul road Condition of haul road Slope of haul road

Trucks Balancing the Spread: 

Trucks Balancing the Spread Determine the load time Determine the truck’s cycle time Divide Load time by cycle time The answer tells how many trucks will balance the spread

Maximum Production for Trucks & Scrapers: 

Maximum Production for Trucks & Scrapers Regardless of how you haul soil, these tips will increase your production

Good Haul Roads: 

Good Haul Roads For best efficiency, the haul road should be a continuous loop. Avoid rough cuts and un-graded fills.

Don’t Detour: 

Don’t Detour Haul roads are like main highways. To get from point A to point B as quickly as possible, stay on the highway and don’t detour!!

Don’t Ignore Gravity!!: 

Don’t Ignore Gravity!! Don’t overlook slope when constructing haul roads. Also…consider the effect that a soft haul road has on efficiency 1.5% slope for every 1” of penetration

Bank Those Turns: 

Bank Those Turns You don’t need an engineer to calculate super-elevation Use common sense and look for signs along the haul road

Haul Road - Optimum Slope: 

Haul Road - Optimum Slope

Dedicated Haul Roads: 

Dedicated Haul Roads One way to boost production is to keep the haul roads and vehicle access roads separate It’s safer and faster

Open Forum / Discussion: 

Open Forum / Discussion What do you think about what we’ve been discussing? Can you apply this to your Landfill? What other questions do you have?
