Wigan Council
There was a time when a civil engineer developing a new road scheme – had to have a near-complete design in their head before they committed anything to the screen. The latest software, however, is far more intuitive, enabling users to put down their concept design as it comes into their head and adjust it as the ideas flow, automatically updating all supplementary views and documentation to correspond with their revisions.
Curtins
Established in 1960, and with 11 offices across the UK, Curtins Consulting is one of the country’s foremost consulting engineering companies. With a strong bias towards structural, environmental, infrastructure and urban regeneration projects, it has a diverse but impressive portfolio across a range of sectors. Typical projects could involve anything from theatres and art galleries to bridges and industrial buildings.
CB & I
CB&I specialises in turnkey solutions for customers that produce, process, store and distribute the earth’s natural resources – for example, those in the oil and gas, petrochemical and chemical, power, water and wastewater and metals and mining industries. Projects include hydrocarbon processing plants, LNG terminals and peak shaving plants, offshore structures, bulk liquid terminals, water storage and treatment facilities, and other steel structures and their associated systems.
Skanska UK
Cutting costs, time and use of resources with AutoCAD Civil 3D. AutoCAD Civil 3D’s parametric technology means changes are no longer the headache they once were for Skanska. Because of this they have the time to spend optimising the design. One small change may make all the difference and because all other figures are updated to take this into account, it’s straightforward to just try and see.
Dredging International
With projects like Port2000 in Le Havre and Pearl of the Gulf in Qatar, the work of the dredging company Dredging International is becoming ever more complex and demanding. And because projects in this sector are always changing, flexibility is a must. Fortunately, Dredging International’s survey department has discovered the many advantages of working with AutoCAD Civil 3D. “The more time we invest in the basic detail and the more complex the profiles, the greater the reward. And, since we are working with objects, we can now amend a rotating image in two hours. This used to take two days.”
