Quick HMA tonnage
Demo. Edit any value.Estimate only. Use the mix design unit weight and the plans and specs for your job.
The problem
The answers crews need are buried in spec books, plan sets, and somebody's notebook.
Math on the tailgate
Tonnage, yardage, and steel get worked out on scrap paper or a phone calculator, and one slipped decimal costs a truckload.
1,000-page spec books
Finding the right TxDOT item, density requirement, or temperature limit takes time nobody has with a paver waiting.
Knowledge walks off the job
Experienced hands retire, and new foremen learn rolling patterns and yield checks the hard way.
What it does
Built by a highway construction professional for real field conditions.
HMA tonnage & yield
Tons from length, width, and depth, plus a running yield check against what's been laid.
Base & dirt yardage
Cubic yards, truckloads, and tons for base, embankment, and excavation, with swell and shrink factors.
Rebar takeoff & cut list
Bar count, total length with laps from your plans, and weight in pounds and tons, plus a cut list.
Concrete
Cubic yards for slabs, walls, footings, and columns, with a waste factor you set.
Rolling patterns & compaction
Plan your passes and roller coverage, and track density targets.

FAQ
Are the results exact?
No. Every result is an estimate to help you plan and check work. The engineer of record, the approved plans, and the contract specifications always govern. Check numbers against them before ordering material or using them for payment.
Which specs does it cover?
We're starting with TxDOT's Standard Specifications. Spec answers include the item and section so you can check the source yourself.
Will it work on my phone in the field?
Yes. It's built mobile-first for phones and tablets, with big buttons for gloved hands.
When does it launch?
Waitlist members get early access first. Join and we'll let you know.
Is it affiliated with TxDOT?
No. HighwayForeman is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by TxDOT or any agency.
