How to Calculate Soil Fill for Land?
The Soil Fill Calculator is an online tool that helps you calculate the exact quantity of soil needed for land filling projects and estimate the transportation costs. This tool is essential for construction projects, garden development, landscaping, and any land improvement work.
Our Soil Fill Calculator works with various land shapes including triangles, quadrilaterals, rectangles, and circular plots. You can also input area directly in different units like square feet, square meters, katha, bigha, acre, or decimal.
Benefits of Using Soil Fill Calculator
Helps you order the right amount of soil for your project, reducing the risk of over-ordering or under-ordering. Provides accurate cost estimation for transportation based on vehicle types. Saves time and money by eliminating guesswork. Useful for contractors, builders, landscapers, and homeowners.
How It Works
The Soil Fill Calculator works in the following steps:
- Select land shape (triangle, quadrilateral, rectangle, circle, or direct area input)
- Input dimensions in feet
- Specify soil depth (how deep you need to fill the soil)
- Select vehicle type (tractor, tipper, dumper)
- Set per trip cost based on current market rates
- Get instant calculation of soil volume and total cost
Vehicle Capacities
The calculator includes common vehicle types used in construction with their capacities:
| Vehicle Type | Capacity Range (cubic feet) | Average Capacity (cubic feet) |
|---|---|---|
| Tractor + Trailer | 35-80 | 57.5 |
| Tipper (Small) | 200-300 | 250 |
| Tipper (Medium) | 300-400 | 350 |
| Tipper (Large) | 400-550 | 475 |
| Dumper (Small) | 550-700 | 625 |
| Dumper (Large) | 700-900 | 800 |
Average Tractor Trolley Capacity is 65-70 CFT for most standard models used in construction and agriculture.
Calculation Formulas
The Soil Fill Calculator uses precise mathematical formulas:
- Rectangle Area = Length × Width
- Triangle Area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)], where s = (a+b+c)/2 (Heron's formula)
- Circle Area = π × Radius²
- Quadrilateral Area = Area(ΔABC) + Area(ΔACD) [divided into two triangles]
- Soil Volume = Area × Depth
- Vehicles Needed = Total Volume ÷ Vehicle Capacity (rounded up)
- Total Cost = (Vehicles Needed × Per Trip Cost) + 10% Additional
Using the Soil Fill Calculator, you can easily determine the exact soil quantity required for your project and get an accurate estimate of transportation costs, helping with project planning and budgeting.
