The aggregation of LiDAR, drone data, GIS, and other data sources is critical to generating a real-world context model of your project.
Create comprehensive digital models of ground topography for studies such as land-use feasibility, transportation system planning, and water flow simulations.
Create dynamic and data-rich corridor models for designs such as residential roads, curbs, and sidewalks, swales within a subdivision, and parking lot design.
Download, create, analyze, and adjust survey data. Streamline the transfer of field-captured data to and from the office.
Use swept path analysis to speed planning and evaluate safety standards compliance. Animate vehicle paths with 2D or 3D animations using multiple camera angles.
Model storm and sanitary sewer systems. Analyze networks to resize pipes, reset inverts, and compute energy and hydraulic grade lines according to HEC-22 standards.
Integrate stormwater and wastewater analysis during planning and design of urban drainage systems, storm and sanitary sewers.
Use materials and sectional or profile information to create reports for volumes along an alignment, comparing design and existing ground surfaces, and quantity takeoff.
Use a visual programming application to generate scripts that automate repetitive and complex tasks. Save these scripts in a library and reuse them as needed.
Lay out horizontal and vertical 3D design of pressure networks. Model deflected-curve pipe segments, and use design and depth checks to meet project standards.
WDI Studios had just 3 weeks to interpret raw survey data, model civil works, and visualize improvements to reduce site development costs.

Establish context and perform conceptual and detailed designs of horizontal and vertical structures.
High-speed rail, VR, mobility simulation, and other trends are affecting the future of rail design.
Use rail alignments to create rail lines with common stationing based on specified tolerances that adjust with changes to parent rail alignment geometry, profile, and cant.
Design turnouts for branching alignments and crossover switches connecting parallel alignments based on a library of turnout and crossover types that you can edit, delete, or supplement.
Build 3D track corridor models including alignments, profiles, and assemblies. Incorporate designs for switches, turnouts, platforms, and calculations for cant.
Design platform edges for light or heavy rail using single or dual platform subassemblies with a dynamically updating platform edge running along a track.
Use visual programming to generate scripts that automate repetitive and complex tasks including electrification, signaling, and other system elements.
By automating the design in a light rail renovation project, Arcadis was able to adjust the design with just one click.
