Faster Planning in the Field

In the field, speed matters. Waiting until you’re back at the office to finalise trench plans can lead to double-handling, costly rework, and delays. Here are three quick ways to get your planning done faster with TrenchCalc™.

1. Use Saved Defaults for Common Jobs

If you frequently work on similar trench dimensions or culvert sizes, pre-load these as defaults in TrenchCalc. That way you can open the app and start adjusting only the variables that have changed, rather than re-entering everything from scratch.

2. Make the Most of Auto-Calculations

TrenchCalc automatically recalculates volumes, cement, and testing requirements as you change inputs. Don’t wait until all data is entered — make early adjustments and let the live results guide your decisions.

3. Export & Share Immediately

Once your plan is ready, export the summary or CSV file on-site and share it with your crew or supervisor. This avoids the “I’ll send it later” bottleneck and ensures everyone works off the latest numbers.

Cut Planning Time in Half

By combining saved defaults, live recalculations, and instant exports, you can slash planning time and reduce rework — keeping your project moving without unnecessary downtime.
