Time-lapse animation

A site build, day and night.

A building pad and its access roads, from natural ground to a gravel base. Twelve days of work, nights included, in about twenty seconds.

Construction sequence

The same build, stage by stage.

Still images at each milestone, from cleared ground to the final trim.

  1. The site in 3D after clearing: the work area cleared and pegged out, with the scrub pushed to its north edge

  2. After the foundation prep: the topsoil stripped from the pad and the road footprint and stockpiled to the west

  3. After the construction lifts: the pad built up to level in compacted fill from the stockpile hill

  4. After the drainage: the front drain dug and run through to the roadside drain

  5. The two access ramps formed, windrows round the pad and down the ramps, and the pad rolled

  6. The gravel basecourse sheeted over the pad and both ramps, with the final trim done

Site plans

The same site, from above.

An overhead plan from the 3D model, drawn up as a site traffic plan: the haul road, the light vehicle track, exclusion zones, speed limits and the site layout.

A site plan from above during the bulk earthworks, labelled as a site traffic plan: a one-way haul road from the excavator at the stockpile hill, down the east side onto the pad and back through a gap in the windrows; a separate light vehicle track from the gate; exclusion zones round the loading and over the pad; speed limits of 10 and 20 km/h; a stop sign at the gate; and the go line, the water cart fill point, the site office and the stockpiles.
An example, during the bulk earthworks. On a job, the routes, zones and speed limits come from the site’s traffic management plan. Tap the plan to open it full size.
