Infrastructure Design​

Why Civil Engineers Use the AEC Collection

Unlock your best infrastructure designs with BIM and CAD software.

Make better design decisions

Work with connected tools for concepting, design, analysis, and optimization to better meet design requirements and enhance client satisfaction.

Streamline team coordination

Improve project collaboration and performance with a cloud-based common data environment.

Keep constructability top of mind

Coordinate effectively from design to construction to reduce risks, minimize RFIs, and ensure constructability.

Transportation

Connect multidiscipline design workflows. Establish collaborative practices across disciplines, coordinate horizontal design and vertical structures, and drive more positive outcomes on transportation projects.

Civil 3D

Other Highlights

Grading Optimization for Civil 3D

Grading Optimization automates time-consuming grading tasks. Assess grading designs based on project constraints, explore alternatives to determine the best solution, and return the optimized grading plan to Civil 3D for detailed design (exclusive to Civil 3D in the AEC Collection).
