Trench Excavation Calculator
Use bottom width, depth, length, and side slope to estimate more realistic trench excavation quantities and hauling needs.
Excavation volume
240.00 yd³
Trapezoidal trench quantity
Top width
9.00 ft
Includes both side slopes
Truckloads
21 loads
Rounded up to whole hauls
Field guidance 1
Include side slope where safety, shoring, or soil conditions widen the upper trench section.
Field guidance 2
Truckload output is rounded up to avoid underestimating haul cycles.
Field guidance 3
Verify trench geometry against utility standards and local safety requirements.
