@calcpave.bsky.social🛣️ Step 3: Calculate the Mix Volume
Formula: Length × Width × Thickness
Example: 500 m × 7 m × 0.05 m = 175 m³
📏 Convert thickness from mm to metres (÷ 1,000) first. This is pavement volume, not bitumen quantity.

Common wearing course thicknesses are 40, 50 and 60 mm, while binder and base courses are often 60–100 mm.
💡 Asphalt typically compacts to about 95% of its loose thickness.
