Pricing Excavation and Backfill

Backfill, in construction, is the activity of returning the soil and gravel that are removed during building construction or using them again to toughen and support the foundation of the building or any other structural component.

Evaluate cost and production using a 3-cy hoe to load wet gravel into 14-cy-size trucks. Assume a bucket fill factor of 105% and that the hoe bucket swing cycle time is 24 sec. Use the information in table below, a truck net empty weight of 36,860 lb, and a rated payload of 40,000 lb. Dump time will be 1.3 min. The haul distance is 2.5 miles from the pit to the plant up a 3% grade. The rolling resistance of the haul road will be maintained at 3%. The hoe and operator cost $97 per hour, and trucks cost $49 per hour. Assume the efficiency is 60min/hr. What is the truck cycle time? What is the loader cycle time? What is the number of trucks? What is the production of the truck, if you know that the loader will control that production? What is the total cost in dollars $ and in ($/lcy)?

A Highway contractor has four locations A, B, C, and D on a road contract which crushed stone is to be delivered. The stone, which is all of the same quality is to be supplied from three quarries 1, 2, and 3. The table below shows the relative transportation cost per cubic meter of transporting stone from each quarry to each site. However, the contractor discovered a technical problem in the third quarry, which results in a temporary shutdown of the facility. Based on this new condition, the contractor must deliver the crushed stone from the first and the second quarries only. Any shortage in the required crushed stone has to be covered from an external source. a) What is the optimal allocation of the crushed stone from each quarry to each location under the new circumstances? b) What is the transportation cost corresponding to the solution obtained in part a? c) Which of the four sites are affected by the shortage that results from the shutdown of the third quarry?
