Civil 3D Highway Design - Basics

Highway Design with Autodesk Civil 3D software is in demand globally and a good understanding of the Civil 3D software plus knowledge of design standards can surely help engineers to fast track their career as highway design engineers. Our Civil 3D course modules are designed to cover all key aspect of design right from getting started with opening window, familiarity with tools, dropdowns, etc to importing ground survey data, horizontal alignment design, vertical alignment design, assembly creation, corridor modelling and generating final 3D model outputs. The first module starts with getting started with the Civil 3D start-up window, quick access toolbar, dropdown option settings, etc. The module then opens the Civil 3D metric template and explains all the ribbons such as ground data, design data, profiles, etc. Civil 3D is template-based software, therefore templates are created and saved in tool space pallets and course all the menu options of the pallet. The module also covers drawing setting, unit transformation, object layers, etc. The second module covers importing ground survey data into Civil3D. the module covers three types of data importing methods (topo survey, land XML and lidar coordinates (x,y,z)). When importing a CAD file, first all layers are isolated and then imported to Civil3D. The module explains the land XML and lidar data transfer process in a detailed manner. After transferring data, the module demonstrates how to create the ground surface model. The third module demonstrates how to analyse the surface, refine the surface and remove the errors like null levels, zero levels, etc. Then it covers how to trim falls surface area that sits outside the project road boundary. The module demonstrates how to create different surface types using tool pallet e.g contours, ground surface, etc and finally how to check the ground level, profile and sections dynamically. The fourth module commences with horizontal alignment design in Civil 3D and covers 4 types of horizontal alignment design i.e centreline alignment, offset alignment, curve return alignment and miscellaneous alignment. Create alignment from the layout or predefine polyline or import the alignment from other software or file. The module also covers the quick alignment design method and setting the line style, curve style, transition style, point style, etc. The fifth module covers alignment design with Element Method. The module demonstrates fixed tangent, floating curve with transition length, fixed curved with transition length, fillet curve and reverse curve design for various design speed criteria. The module demonstrates some tips to minimise abortive work (when amendment needed) when designing it with the element method. The sixth module explains the vertical design process of the proposed centreline. For that, first, we import the ground model land XML and then start the profile creation process. The module describes how to fix the setting of the profile creating window. The vertical profile can be created method quick method and element method. Both methods are described methodically for easy understanding. The module also explains how to set the profile band to show chainage, ground levels, proposed road levels, superelevation, etc. The seventh module describes how to create an annotation for the profile drawing production and how to make them in a presentable format. It shows how to show curves and gradients details within the profile section and how to create bands at the lower section showing chainage, proposed levels, ground levels, superelevation, horizontal alignment details, vertical alignment details, etc. The module also covers how to change grid style, font style, line type, datum levels, etc The Eighth module describes the process of creating cross-sections on the 3D model. Here module starts with assembly creation and it demonstrates two types of assemblies, dual carriageway assembly (without central median) and dual carriageway assembly (with central median). It demonstrates how to create assemblies from tool pallets. The ninth module describes the process to review and analyse the corridor. It explains how to visualise the corridor against cross-section assemblies, how to fix the errors in the corridor and how to make it in a presentable format. The tenth module described how to create retaining walls profiles in place of the embankment and describes how to generate cross-section from the design model.

Fundamentals of Road Lighting Design

Road Lighting Engineering involves the design, construction, operation & maintenance of Road Light and associated infrastructure to ensure adequate and uniform lighting levels are provided for drivers and pedestrians safety. Road lighting design supports lighting engineers to develop a lighting model to remove dark spots, provide a clear view of the road and associated infrastructure to provide a desirable minimum illumination for all road users. The first module covers key industry of road lighting engineering, basic principles of road lighting design, site assessment criteria before initiating lighting design and lighting terminologies. Within lighting terminologies, we have covered set back distance, arm Length, mounting height, straight vertical distance, candela (cd), footcandle (fc), Illuminance (E), luminance (L), lux (lx), the lumen (lm). The second module covers the basics of lighting design, luminaire selection, road lighting mounting options. The primary methods of lighting design are luminance method and Illuminance method. The module also recommends the illuminance level, for various road types, junction types, mid-block crossings, etc. The module also covers the concept BUG Rating System that provides a numerical rating of the luminaire light distribution as it applies to the lighting trespass up light and glare. The third module covers lighting column protection measures. passively safe lighting columns, road lighting cable network, smart lighting systems and road lighting maintenance regime. When lighting columns are placed very close to the road edge or at a vulnerable location, it is highly possible to be crashed by an errant vehicle? There are two possible ways to protect it, by placing road restraint system or by using passively safe lighting columns. The module has described both measures in detail. The module also describes the smart road lighting system such as LoRaWAN.

Students will witness state-of-the-art methodologies to develop the project program. The first module provides a detailed process of moving a project forward and backwards. It’s very common that project start date moves and it’s very important to know how to move the project. The course also provides details of setting the baseline of the program. This will help to monitor the project program as the project progresses. The second module provides a complete process of setting the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The WBS is like an index page of a book and its very useful to develop WBS for a project especially if the project programme is lengthy and complex. The third module provides a detailed process of assigning project resources to each activity along with hours for each resource. The module then explains the process to determine the overall project cost as well as the breakup of cost for each task and sub-tasks. This process helps Project managers to optimise overall project costs for any bidding or tender activity. The fourth module covers the complete process of updating tasks. There are three ways to update the tasks of a project and all three ways are explained with its unique advantages. The module also covers the process of updating a project before comparing it with the baseline. The fifth module covers the detailed process of analysing critical path activities and associated features. This will help the project manager to take extra care of critical activities so that project doesn’t slip and become a loss-making project. The sixth module provides a detailed process of checking task slippage from the baseline and how it impacts the project programme duration. The seventh module provides details of Calendar and Network Diagram view. These views are very easy to understand and provide clear visibility to team members about their activities, even they are not efficient to understand giant chart view of a project program. The eighth module provides a detailed process of setting a Timeline view of a project. It provides a summary chart of the project so its very hands to share with the project team and client for progress meeting and monitoring. The ninth module provides details of printing various project report such project report, project cost, project assignments, project workload and also customised way to develop project reports.
