Trench Fill Calculator

This tool streamlines cable trench fill analysis and design compliance for direct buried cables in substations. It calculates trench fill percentage by comparing total cable area to usable cross-section and checks against configurable limits. Outputs include compliance status with recommendations such as wider or deeper trenches, alternate vendor models, or cable redistribution for safe, code-aligned installations.
