Strip Topsoil or Use for Demolition

Stripping and Demolition.  The Stripping feature is used for topsoil stripping, unsuitable soil removal, or demolition.  You can trace the perimeter of the area to be stripped, and indicate how far to strip (for example, 8"). 

Strip to StrataStrip to Strata.  If you have entered the boring information, you can indicate what strata you wish to remove, and the stripping will be calculated to the strata surface indicated by the boring information. 

 If you are demolishing a paved area or building pads, identify the area, enter the overall demolition thickness, and itemize the individual materials.

In this example, we want to strip the maroon area to the bottom of the strata layer topsoil.  After tracing the perimeter, we chose Topsoil, which showed up in the Stripping Method list because we entered it in the boring information. 

Strip to StrataIf you don't have borings, choose depth, and enter a Stripping Value (like 8").  If this site had an old parking lot that needed to be demolished, after tracing the footprint of the parking lot, choose 1.Depth for Stripping Method.  We then itemized the materials that make up our demolition.  InSite will automatically give us the material volumes.

Next we'll enter the Subgrade information.
