Construction temporary walkway panels calculator

Calculate panel rows across and panels along each row with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use panel rows across and panels along each row to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Panel rows across

ceil(b/d)

Panels along each row

max(1,ceil((a-e)/(c-e)))

Total panels

ceil(b/d)*max(1,ceil((a-e)/(c-e)))

Panel origins (m)

J([[i*(c-e),j*d] for j in range(ceil(b/d)) for i in range(max(1,ceil((a-e)/(c-e))))])

Symbols and units
a
Walkway length (m)
b
Walkway width (m)
c
Panel length (m)
d
Panel width (m)
e
Specified longitudinal overlap (m)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Regular axis-aligned panel rows with no transverse lap. 0≤overlap<panel length; no walkway capacity, edge protection or safety design. Supported limits: All numeric inputs must be finite. Only the explicitly described mathematical scenario is supported.
Are these inputs private?
