Where is the percentage of excavated soil typically shown in contract documents?

The percentage of excavated soil is typically shown in the contract documents by the cross sections. Cross sections provide a detailed view of the site at specific points, representing the existing ground surface and showing the planned excavation depths. This visual representation allows engineers and inspectors to clearly understand how much soil is intended to be removed in various sections of the project. By including this information in the cross sections, it facilitates the calculation of volumes, planning, and budget estimations, which are essential for effective project execution.

While the environmental report may discuss soil characteristics and potential impact on the project, and prior as-builts provide historical data, they do not specifically show the percentage of excavated soil relevant to the current project. Incrementally tabulated data could be useful for tracking quantities, but the most straightforward reference in the context of contract documents and project planning is through cross sections.
