Using a backhoe to dig holes for interment

Providing outstanding amazing values through process clarity and improvement 


This is how a hole for a memorial park using an excavator is done.   We need at least PC 30 to reach 2.2 meters (7 ft).   A PC 20 while cheaper can only dig 1.90 meters (6 ft) a one ft difference.

A good combination would be an excavator and mini dump truck.    An excavator can fit into the dumptruck using a ramp or by excavator action only.  The whole content of the  dumpable materials can be loaded into the dump truck.    And the excess into dumped into a certain section.   

Or retain the trailers (4 for a small mp) and 8 for a abig mp..   

Total volume to be escavatred;   2.4 x 2.2 x.0.9  =  4.752

Back fill volume....  4.752 - Volume of vault -   (1 meter x 2.4 x  .0.8 ) 1.92 = 2.79  (less than 3 cubic meters

Thus we need at least a 3.0  cu meters mini dump truck for the  backfill, with excess of almost 2 cubic meters for dumping elsewhere in the memorial park.
