GEOFARM PRO / CONNECTED TOOLS

Elevation and cut/fill

Understand the terrain before moving soil.

Interpolate elevation points to study terrain, contours and terraces. Plan leveling, cut/fill, rice levees and water paths with adjustable project parameters.

Application illustration: Elevation and cut/fill
01 / INPUT

Your starting point

Survey elevation points, elevation units and project boundary.

02 / PROCESS

Why use this tool

Plan interventions and assess earthwork based on survey data.

03 / OUTPUT

Your deliverable

Terrain surface and design layers; accuracy depends on the input survey.

INSIDE THE TOOL

Control over the details.
Clarity for the decision.

From data preparation to final delivery, explore the controls that bring precision to planning and connect every stage of your work.

01 / GEOFARM PRO

Interpolation, resolution, neighbors and smoothing

Choose surface resolution and how survey points influence each cell. Neighbors, power and smoothing adjust terrain interpretation.

02 / GEOFARM PRO

Hillshade and 3D vertical scale

Switch between plan and relief views to visualize gradients. Vertical exaggeration helps inspect small elevation differences.

03 / GEOFARM PRO

Contours and terraces

Set contour and terrace intervals and inspect their distribution. Lines can inform conservation planning and guidance.

04 / GEOFARM PRO

Single plane, grid, sectors and constrained best fit

Compare design surfaces: a single plane, grid gradients, sectors or best-fit adjustment. Relate direction and slope to leveling objectives.

05 / GEOFARM PRO

Cut/fill limits and volume ratio

Set earthwork limits and the relationship between cut and fill volumes. Review interventions alongside the proposed surface.

06 / GEOFARM PRO

Rice levees, water depth and drainage paths

Set water depth, vertical interval and levee resolution. Flow paths help interpret water distribution.

APPLICATION SCENARIO

How it fits
into field work.

In an area with ponding, a technician studies terrain, sets gradients and cutting limits. The study compares surfaces and volumes before detailed engineering and machine mobilization.

  1. Prepare the foundationSurvey elevation points, elevation units and project boundary.
  2. Configure and reviewContours and terraces. Single plane, grid, sectors and constrained best fit.
  3. Validate the deliverableTerrain surface and design layers; accuracy depends on the input survey.

PRECISION YOU CAN MEASURE

Move the required soil with terrain planning

Compare surfaces, elevations and cut/fill alternatives to size the intervention before mobilizing equipment.

CONVENTIONAL → PRECISION AGRICULTURE

Entered volumes for alternatives meeting the same technical objective. Use material actually moved, without counting both cut and fill for the same material.

ECONOMIC COMPARISON

Enable JavaScript to calculate this scenario.

Editable example per campaign or project. Enter local costs and the share of software, correction signal, equipment and services used in this scenario. Results are estimated from inputs; defaults are not research averages. Do not add benefits from studios representing the same operation.

How we calculate +

Each alternative cost = moved volume × cost/m³. Net benefit = cost difference − allocated survey and design costs.

Net benefit = conventional cost − precision cost, including technology. Net return on technology = net benefit ÷ allocated technology cost × 100; displayed only when this cost is greater than zero. Only described components are compared, not the full crop budget.

Explore scenarios, track the effect of each input and export the comparison to discuss with your team.

Technical basis and references

References support the agronomic mechanisms. Example values are editable assumptions, not percentages attributed to the studies.
