Hole Volume Calculator: calculate excavation volume (m^3) from explicitly entered values.

Formula

volume = pi * radius_m^2 * depth_m
  • Model: volume = pi * radius_m^2 * depth_m. Models a cylindrical hole only; nonnegative radius and depth, excluding overbreak, taper, bulking and soil expansion. This calculator uses the supplied inputs and does not provide a certified engineering, medical, or financial assessment.
  • The main inputs are Hole radius, Hole depth. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Keep measurements and project assumptions consistent before comparing or combining values.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: Hole Volume

Inputs
  • Hole radius: 0.5 m
  • Hole depth: 2 m

Using Hole radius (m) = 0.5, Hole depth (m) = 2, the calculated result is Excavation volume (m^3): 1.57079632679.
