Civil Survey Intro

Civil & Survey Intro

From survey, design, and analysis to drafting and construction documentation, Autodesk civil engineering solutions help civil engineers, surveyors, designers, and drafters increase productivity, stay coordinated throughout projects, and deliver better results for their clients.

The Autodesk civil engineering solution, made up of AutoCAD® Civil software and AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software, provides project teams with a comprehensive surveying, design, analysis, and documentation solution to deliver land development, transportation, and environmental projects faster and with improved accuracy. With model-centric technology at the core, design changes are automatically reflected across the project, helping to keep the entire team coordinated.

Rule-Based Road Design using AutoCAD Civil and AutoCAD Civil 3D

The link to below is to a White Paper which illustrates how AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 has the ability to analyze your road design as you work based on recognized industry standards or your own user-defined standards. As you build your design, the software will provide correction and/or notification whenever standards are not met. This capability helps provide many benefits including greater time savings, reduced rework due to fewer review comments, and more consistent quality designs.

Solutions for Highway Design

RDV Interchange Highway Design is all about standards and flexibility.

At AEC Systems, we have incorporated the Austroads standards into our software solutions to enable automatic checking of standards. This allows designers to focus on using the tools to optimise the designs.

Major Intersection Design is not just about designing the geometry though - the construction documentation can often be the most time consuming part of the project and usually happens in a rush which is why we focus on having the design and documentation linked...

Solutions for Subdivisions

The most common (and hated) phrase a designer will hear in the process of designing a subdivision is:

"..yes, but I think we may need to adjust that main road by a few..."

This used to mean that a large portion, if not all, of the job would have to be redone but things have moved on as the solutions are now interactive as well as efficient. Click the link to see the details...

Solutions for Road Reconstruction and Maintenance

Road_Recon From Wikipedia: "...Australia's Highway 1 is the longest national highway in the world at over 20,000 km (12,000 mi) and runs almost the entire way around the continent..."

It's safe to conclude from this that we have a lot of road maintenance to consider. Whether it's Highway 1 or the side street behind the church, road reconstruction and rehab is usually a far more challenging task than just designing a green field road.

Our Solutions focus on leveraging the interactive tools so that designs can be tweaked into position as the various scenarios are considered...

Solutions for Fly Through's - RDV

Rapid Design Visualisation.

'Drivethrough' animations are becoming more and more important for Design projects and concepts these days.

The ideal Solution to achieve these should be intuitive, quick to learn and flexible. RDV has got all of this and more - click the link for details...
