B. Borrow Pit Method C. Contour Method
This method is generally used for calculating the
volumes of excavations for basements or tanks. When
the area excavation is square, rectangular or consists of
a number of vertical sides, as in the case of foundation of
a water tank, underground reservoir, etc. The volume
can be computed by taking levels of number of points
along a grid. The difference between the formation level
and the existing level of the ground will give the height
of fill or cut at the corresponding points.

Definitions of Terms:
1. Haul; haul distance, average haul distance
- They are all connected with movement of earth
from one point to another usually from cut to fill.
Haul distance is the actual distance from the
point of cut to the point of fill. Average haul
distance is the distance between the center of
gravity of cut to the center of gravity of fill. Haul,
however, means product of volume of cut and
average haul distance. It is also equal to the area
between the mass haul curve and the balancing
line. Haul is volume multiplied by distance.
Hence its unit is m3 x m. However, it is usually
expressed as station meter which means 1 m3 of
earth work moving through 1 station.
