Worker Scope
- Tree Cutting
- Log Handling
- Burning / Clearing
- Drainage Works
- Culvert Installation
- Manual Slope Trimming
- Road Finishing Works
The excavator itself is usually:
- the main production engine
- the main fuel consumer
- the main cost center.
That is why – focused heavily on:
- machine hours
- diesel
- terrain
- undercarriage wear
- productivity.
| Work Type | Worker Importance |
|---|---|
| Pure excavator clearing | low-moderate |
| Manual chainsaw clearing | high |
| Burning/log handling | high |
| Drainage works | moderate-high |
| Culvert installation | high |
| Survey/marking | moderate |
| Road finishing/manual trimming | moderate |
| Terracing staking/layout | moderate |
For many plantation land projects, typical manpower may be:
Simple Excavator Clearing
- 1 excavator operator
- 1 signalman/helper
- maybe 1 chainsaw worker
So:
- 2–4 workers total.
Larger Formation/Terracing Jobs
May involve:
- excavator operator
- chainsaw workers
- helper
- pickup driver
- survey/marking guy
- drainage workers
Maybe:
- 5–10 workers.
Because over time, you will start seeing:
- which jobs are machine-heavy
- which jobs are labour-heavy
- which jobs secretly consume both.
