Cost Stack Analysis

System Void ratio Storage-zone envelope Excavation cost Stone cost Earthwork subtotal

This tool prices earthwork only. It deliberately omits module price, freight, duty, dewatering, geotextile, connections, labour and geotechnical borings — add those from your own quotations. Stone volume for the gravel trench is the envelope less its void space; the arch chamber figure assumes stone surround at a 45% system void; the crate and vault figures assume bedding and perimeter stone only, taken as 12% of envelope. Change any assumption you disagree with; the arithmetic is all in the page source.
