Machinery Productivity

Good Morning to All,

Anybody can help me by providing the productivity rates of machineries which we were using in infrastructure projects.

Thank you.

Hi Antony

Production of earthworks is controlled by the disposal rate of the excavated material.

This is calculated by the volume of the haul units and the distance travelled - controlled by the capacity of the haul roads.

Once that has been established the excavating kit can be set from the manufacturers catalogues - set at 120% of the disposal rate.

The digger can wait a bit but the disposal must be non stop.

Best regards

Mike Testro
