MEASUREMENTS OF SUB STRUCTURE MADE EASY! PART 2 | FOUNDATION TRENCH EXCAVATION

🏠 Ready to lay the groundwork for your dream project? Join us in today's video as we explore the critical measurements involved in substructure work, focusing specifically on foundation trench excavation. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a DIY enthusiast, understanding these measurements is key to building a strong and stable foundation for any structure.
📏 Key Topics Covered:
Understanding Foundation Trench Dimensions: Learn the fundamentals of determining the width, depth, and length of your foundation trench. We'll guide you through the calculations to ensure your foundation is perfectly suited to support the structure.
Calculating Excavation Volume: Dive into the world of cubic yards and meters as we break down how to calculate the excavation volume. Proper measurements here are crucial to managing your project's resources efficiently.
Slope and Depth Measurements: Explore the importance of slope angles and depth consistency in foundation trench excavation. We'll share tips on achieving uniformity and precision to guarantee a solid foundation for your construction.
Safety Considerations: Discover the critical safety measurements you need to take into account during excavation. From shoring requirements to identifying potential hazards, we'll guide you through creating a secure work environment

Really educative ❤

Thank you 💯

When we are calculating the external.. Don't we subtract the footing which is 675 from the perimeter of the building?

[@quantitysurveyworkshop]

It depends on how you choose to calculate yours
I used the centerline x the footing x the depth of the foundation
Which would give me the total volume of excavation
However,
I forgot deduct for the excess at the T - junctions
(But it’s better to very slightly over measure than to under measure)

It really helps me

[@quantitysurveyworkshop]

You’ll become better at it in no time!! 💪🏾🥂💯 just keep practicing with different plans

@quantitysurveyworkshop
Thank you very much, pls with what i have been taught in schools after calculating the girth you'll still count the number of T-junctions and multiply it by 225 then you minus the answer with the girth that will then be the true girth but is it necessary to calculate for T-junctions or i can just work the girth directly ,pls i need your answer cause am a little confused 😢

[@quantitysurveyworkshop]

T junctions and girth do not really have any relationship. However, deductions of T junctions are important when measuring the trench excavations.
I wanted adding it to the video but it might get confusing! So I just needed the viewers to have an understanding first. Them subsequently we’ll measure for everything (including the squaring column)
