Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A highway project requires an understanding of the changes in elevation along the route. After taking levels, the data shows varying elevations every 100m. How would you proceed to calculate the earthwork required?
💡 Hint: Consider using profile levelling data.
If you took cross-section levels every 10m and identified the elevation differences due to terrain, how could you represent this visually?
💡 Hint: This plot helps visualize cuts and fills.
