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.

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.”
