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.

I am also considering the same for manual excavation 1 m3 / man for 8 hours shift at Oil & Gas plant.

Soil desert type.

But for eqyptians they are considering above 2.3 m3/man here.

I have done a lot of planning experience in basement works. Allow (1 man - 1m3 / day ) for excavate including transporting the materials to another place such as conveyor belt and to skip. Soil type Gravel

Depending on the type of soil between 3 and 5 hours per M3.

Also allow for overdig - a 1m3 pit will be about 2m3 without support.

The stiifer the soil the harder the dig but less overdig.

This is from my own experience as a labourer on construction sites.

Best regards
