Roads Construction, Design and Earthworks Calculations
Note: this product is available in a separate version designated for ZWCAD under the name ZWCAD Civil 10-Roads
CivilCAD 10-Roads allows roads planning and design, earthworks design and calculation, and all-inclusive surveying and treatment of upper and underground infrastructure. The software combines powerful design options, accurate and high-speed results, and supreme usability setting new standards for roads engineers worldwide.
Roads contractors, earthworks and land development contractors which are using the software, acknowledge CivilCAD 10-Roads as their primary tool for getting the job done.
CivilCAD 10-Roads Features:
Horizontal and Vertical Alignment Design
- Changes made to certain segments of the road’s alignment geometry are reflected in the vertical alignment
- Automatic highlight of the cut-fill transition point in horizontal alignment
- Sub layers associated with existing, structure and design layers are differentiated and displayed according to the defined material and thickness
- Unique and advanced visibility evaluation mechanism with export and reporting capabilities
- Ability to attach a ditch to an offset reference-line in the cross section
- Automatic alert and delete mechanism of an overlapping area between two topography surfaces
- Ability to automatically create frequent backups of the project revisions with quick restore capabilities
- Ability to extend existing road design using automatically obtainable parameters
- Automatic road segments selection
- Visual indication of cut-fill minimum and maximum extents
- Rapid and accurate geometric calculations along road
- Complete horizontal alignment design set of tools including curves transition of clothoids or cubic-parabola
Powerful Cross Section Design
- Detailed underground and upper ground utilities display in cross sections
- Layers information can be separated to support authorities standards
