Based from the previous question, if you are to put backfill in the excavated column footing given that the column has a 300x300mm cross-sectional dimension, determine the volume of backfill. Assume that the soil is very stiff that the soil does not require being compacted upon backfilling it.

Suppose you are to construct a column footing for your project. The 600x600x250mm footing has its top surface located at 650mm below the NGL. If 50mm is allotted underneath the bottom surface of the footing for its gravel bedding, and that the soil is very stiff that the exact perimeter of footing can be excavated in the ground, what is the total volume of soil that needs to be excavated?
