Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excavation and backfill quantities are calculated using bank measure, which involves measuring the volume of the material in its natural state, before excavation or after backfill is completed. This method allows for an accurate measurement of the actual amount of material moved. Depth measure is not a suitable method for calculating quantities as it only measures the depth of the excavation or backfill, but not the volume or amount of material moved. Composite measure and hold measure are not commonly used methods for measuring excavation and backfill quantities.
