2. Description of Service

Bitumen Calculator provides a free, web-based tool for estimating bitumen and aggregate quantities for pavement construction and maintenance projects. The Service includes:

• A main calculator for standard pavement projects
• Regional calculators with location-specific default values

3. No Professional Engineering Advice

The results produced by Bitumen Calculator are estimates for planning and budgeting purposes only. They do not constitute professional engineering advice, design recommendations, or certified quantity take-offs.

All calculations are based on generalised formulas and typical industry default values. Actual material requirements will vary depending on:

• Local material specifications and mix designs
• Site-specific conditions (subgrade, drainage, climate)
• Contractor methodology and equipment
• Regulatory requirements in your jurisdiction
• Compaction factors and material wastage rates

Always consult a licensed civil or geotechnical engineer before making final procurement or construction decisions on significant projects.

• Project cost overruns, delays, or construction defects
• Reliance on any content provided by the Service

In no event shall our total liability to you exceed the amount you paid to access the Service (which, as the Service is free, shall be zero).
