Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Caterpillar, the biggest heavy equipment manufacturer and 4th-largest exporter on the globe, reported record profits Friday. I read more information here: Caterpillar records record $1.22 billion profit for Q1 2011.

Figures point to a $1.22 billion profit, 426 % higher than First quarter last year. Sales increased 57 % to $12.95 billion over the same period. Caterpillar managed to stay in business amidst recession. Cheers!

Dear Christopher,

I would recommend that you google the following:

Caterpillar Production Rates

In addition to the good replies thus far, you can get also the following

www.contractor-books.com/Cr/National_Earthwork_Estimator.htm

Hope that the information helps.

With kind regards,

Samer

Hi Rafael

I do not use production rates for resource modelling.

Even if I wanted to I could not access the PP rates section because I have not introduced enough members.

I extract the resource hours from the cost plan / BOQ and use the total hours to allocate to the tasks.

Best regards

Mike Testro

Mike,

Your postings about earthwork production rates are the correct way to estimate excavation output. It is not as simple as a single number as posted under PP Rates. PP Rates can be misleading as they miss a big part of the picture. Not only earthwork is interesting but formwork using several methods, especially if unconventional such as slip forming.

Discussion of production rates is a much needed title, we should raise the bar.

I would suggest that when you click at Rates this would get you to a forum for this purposes, where everyone would post production rates and the logic behind it in appropriate threads. It will also relieve some burden on PP Admin.

Best regards,
Rafael

Hi Christopher

Excavation output is not determined by the rate of excavation - you can find the listed performance ratings on any manufacturers website.

You have to calculate the haul & disposal rate for the excavated material.

This is a formula based on:

Haul distance
Paylod of haul equipment
Load and tip time
Haul speed KMH

When you have calculated the haul time you can balance the excavation rate by the number of haul units.

Aim to have enough units so that the excavator is working at about 80% capacity.

Best regards

Mike Testro

PS I am moving this thread to the planning discussion section.

Dear Chris,

It depends on the type of soil layers and the equipment that you are using. It is a broad range. I would recommend that you read the soil reports and discuss with your construction team the type of equipment that they are considering.

Subsequently, you can download the charts from the website of the equipment companies and factor in the skilled operators expected productivity.

With kind regards,

Samer
