Balanced over the season, not week by week

Anyone who plans earthwork knows this. The mass balance closes on paper. Week by week it doesn't: the cuts open before the fills, the surplus goes to the stockpile and gets handled twice, and the estimate carries a percentage from the last job.

One case on our Try page: the earthwork estimate and schedule for a bypass. Yesper ran the season week by week through the stockpile. Start the cuts as scheduled and it's over capacity from June into August, with 28% of the material handled twice against the estimate's 15%. One cut starting later keeps it within capacity.

You settle cut starts and stockpile size before the schedule is baselined, and the double handling is in the forecast, not July's haul tickets. Same for the rest of the Try page: a mass balance with contaminated soil, quantities from an IFC model, a work plan for a culvert.
