How do you run a Corridor Mass Haul and have TBC respond to different Phases on a Proposed Project? 

I recently had a bid project that I digitized the cross sections.  I then created my haul barriers.  Next, I created boundaries around all the different phases.  When I went in to report the Mass Haul, it did not respond to any of the boundaries I created. 

I would think there is a way to include phases.  

Any help on this would be appreciated.

There is no phase computation in the Mass Haul analysis - you can comoute volumes by areas in the corridor earthworks report to break out quantities by phase but the mass haul computations are looking to find the cheapest way to move the earthworks and balance the cuts and fills - you could use the areas that it determines along with the hauls it creates to create a phase plan but not assign the phases and have it optimize the mass haul - you can use barriers and haul roads to control what moves where and how it is moved - so if you have a pbase plan that you have to work to you can define haul patterns and barriers to control material flows in section / phase 

I would have to look at the model and the phase plan to make some recommendations as to how you could approach that using the data you have.

We can discuss next week if you have time to do so - email me at alan.sharp@rockpilesolutions.com and I will follow up with you
