Example Cost Estimation

Example Sand & Gravel Mining Company - Plant 1 (250 Ac Operation in Phoenix Valley Area
Pit is approximately 2,000 feet by 4,000 feet and 50 feet deep, pit walls require 300,000 cubic yards of balanced cut-fill material movement to create 3H:1V reclaim slopes Overburden dump is 300 feet by 500 feet and 50 feet high, requires approximately 80,000 cubic yards of balanced cut-fill material movement to create 3H:1V reclaim slope There are approximately 16,000 feet of access roads (40 feet wide) on site, 4,000 feet of those roads will remain after reclamation There is a metal shop building 30 feet by 60 feet on concrete slab, a truck scale (15 by 100 slab), and a masonary block scalehouse on slab (20 by 40) The property has approximately 12,000 feet of chain link fencing that needs to be demolished and hauled away There is one 3-phase powerline (and associated transformers) that runs approximately 2,000 feet on the property There is enough topsoil stored in the berms along the pit crests to cover the entire disturbed area
