so its 47 cubic m whats that in tonnes
2007-03-13 04:37:25 · update #2
it is not possible to answer this question without knowing the width of the excavation
if w=width in metres, then the amount of soil would be
120m (long) X 0.4m (deep) X w
in cubic metres

In tons that would be:
V = 47 m^3
Volume * density of the soil(lbs/m^3) / 2000lbs
to get the density take a box full of average soil out and find out the box's volume in cubic meters, pack the soil lightly because the soil deeper in the ground is more tight due to the weight on top of it, and weigh the box with and without the soil to get the soil's weight. Density = m / V. This is a very hard calculation because there might also be water ingrained in the soil.

one m3 weighs about a tonne so that it will b about 47 tonnes I'd get a jcb in costs around 200 a day then if u want 2 get rid of it a twenty tonne truck costs about 200 a load

You have not provided enough information. It's 400mm deep over how many sq. m.?
About 47 cubic metres

at a one foot width, (305mm), you'd be removing about 300 yards +/-
there is no mention of the width of this 'excavation'
this is approximate
Soil varies in weight and density and moisture content... it is very difficult to tell you the tonnage of this amount of soil without the details. Plus, is it rocky? clay? what is it?
