Talk:Cut and fill

Too many stub articles on the same topic
There are too many articles on the subjects "cut" and "fill" that all seem to cover the same topic. They are all small articles. I think they should be merged into one article with appropriate redirects. Can't these be merged into one article with the appropriate sections and redirects? - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 02:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree, and would add Earthworks (engineering) to the list. Perhaps the articles mentioned above could be merged there, for instance as a section which explains that the material is cut and the hauled to a suitable fill. The reason for doing cut and fill is to exploit existing close-by materials and thus reduce labor/cost. Amount of cutting and the distance of hauling also affect labor/cost.

As I wrote in Talk:Cut_(earthmoving), I strongly disagree that cuts and fills are an inseparable pair. Click the link for more discussion. Martindelaware (talk) 05:08, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I would add SiteWorx/OS by Vertigraph, Inc. to the list of software programs that automate the calculation of cut and fill volumes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.68.35.142 (talk) 17:47, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree SiteWorx/OS is a leader in the industry and should be listed with the others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.227.44.242 (talk) 16:04, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Moved list of software to a seperate article
I have created a separate article called "Comparison of Earthworks Estimation Software" and linked to that in the software section rather than have an ever expanding list of software as it seemed the list was not representative of the available software but seemed to have only been updated by interested parties. I think it best to use the comparison of earthworks estimation software for the purpose of listing available software and keep articles like this academic.
