Dear Jason,



Please compare the hardness of the Rock that you are getting with the Soil report. The productivity rates will depend on the hardness of the rock and what kind of equipment you need to move it.



Best,



Samer

Hi Jason,



In addition to Abhi’s advice, I suggest for you to make some research with your construction section especially with the construction manager regarding the type of equipment to be used and the size and number of gangs they intend to utilize in site. Besides, the productivity rate that maybe given by the construction section is often the correct one as per site situations that includes the skill level of the workers and the number of work hours per day.

Jason,

For drilling and breaking which equipment you are going to use?

If it is excavator with breaker, please check oput the user manual catalog of the equipment, for the production norms as per the properties of rock.

You can work out the time cycle for excavation of per cum of rock on your own and bench mark the productivity per cum for the work.



Cheers,

Abhi
