Tonnage Calculator

Enter the length, width and depth, pick the mix, and get the tonnes to order.

  • AC, SMA, HRA, porous, TSCS and Tufflex mixes
  • Standard densities built in, and you can type your supplier's figure
  • Density adjusts automatically with the laying depth where the mix calls for it
  • Waste allowance: none, 5%, 10% or your own percentage
  • Save calculations to a log for each job

Free to use, always.

  • Readings table with the average worked out for you
  • Sign on the screen, for the company and the client
  • Your company name across the top of every sheet
  • Download as a picture to email back to the office, or print

See how quick it is

Work out the tonnage, then go from a blank sheet to a signed dip sheet, saved as a picture and ready to email. About a minute on site.

  1. Use the Tonnage Calculator to work out how much to order, in seconds.
  2. Open the Dip Sheet and type your company name once. It is remembered.
  3. Fill in the job details and the readings. The average works itself out.
  4. Sign on the screen with your finger, for the company and the client.
  5. Tap Download picture, attach it to an email, and send it to the office.

One link sets up every supervisor

There is nothing to install from a store and nothing to log in to. Send one link, and everyone in the company is on the same dip sheet, the same way.

1. Send the link

Text it, WhatsApp it or email it to every supervisor in one go.

2. They add it to their phone

One tap on the link, then "Add to Home Screen". It takes about a minute and works with no signal afterwards.

3. Everyone does it the same way

Same sheet layout, same signed picture, same company name at the top, arriving in the office inbox.

Copy and paste this to your supervisors:
