• Create road and rail corridor models
• Create and process data
• View data in plan, profile, cross-section, 3D and spreadsheet
• Manipulate point cloud data quickly and easily.

Data Review

Enhanced tools for Site Data Managers and GPS Managers give you the ability to select, create, edit and draft data, as well as generate reports and plots or publish information.

• Select, create, edit and draft data
• Generate reports and plots
• Publish information

Data Prep

Efficient construction operations begin with accurate data preparation. Business Center – HCE helps ensure data is clean, up-to-date and delivered in the right format to get the job done.

• Import and clean up CAD data
• Use CAD tools to trim, extend and offset lines
• Elevate contours, pads, lines and points with automated, high productivity elevating tools
• Create an earthworks model for grading
• Create a drill plan or tunnel model
• Use advanced surface modeling and editing tools for site projects
• Import raster image files in many formats or Adobe PDF vector files
• Rapidly extract line work data from Adobe PDF vector files

Site Takeoff

Prepare earthworks and construction material quantity takeoffs quickly with expanded detail and sharper accuracy — helping you win more business. Site takeoff is available in three different modules with varying levels of functionality to suit all your needs.

• Takeoff – full-featured takeoff application
• Takeoff Intermediate – areas, lengths and counts of materials, including finished grades and subgrades
• Takeoff Basic – areas, lengths and counts

Use Business Center – HCE for site takeoff to:

• Create a materials and site improvements library
• Perform heads up digitizing from raster images or digitize from paper plans
• View multiple images with edge matching functionality
• Assign site improvements, topsoil stripping and replacement areas
• Use drillhole data to build subsurface strata models and associated volumes
• Account for overexcavation and create of Areas of Interest
• Create takeoff reports that include all material volumes lengths and counts, and cost information
• Balance site earthworks
• Estimate drilling and piling costs
• Define haul zones, haul roads and hauling costs
• Compute borrow and waste requirements
• Assign haul and material costs for earthworks bidding
• Compute mass haul for the site
• Import raster image files in many formats or Adobe PDF vector files
• Rapidly extract line work data from Adobe PDF vector files

Road Takeoff

Business Center – HCE for road takeoff gives you the ability to convert digital CAD cross-sections, rapidly extract cross-section information from Adobe PDF vector files and quickly see locations and quantities of materials. Save time, reduce rework and increase bidding accuracy with road takeoff from Business Center — HCE.

• Digitize cross-section drawings from a raster image or a vector PDF file
• Convert cross-sections into a 3D model automatically
• Store cross-section objects in association with an alignment object
• Map original ground, finished design and multiple material layers (subgrades) to stored cross-sections distinguished by layer
• Easily extract required surface from complex CAD cross-sections
• Generate average end area earthwork reports
• Import raster image files in many formats or Adobe PDF vector files
• Rapidly extract line work data from Adobe PDF vector files
• Perform comprehensive mass haul analysis
• Find the best borrow and waste sites to use for the lowest cost
• See graphical representations and geographic location of borrow pits, waste sites and haul roads
• Place barriers to mass haul along the alignment and optimize to haul around barriers
• Assign import or export locations with cost analysis and volumes
• Define multiple haul ranges and balance haul at stations
• Create mass haul diagrams with multiple charts to see mass haul and instantaneous cuts and fills in relation to the design profile
• Enter multiple tunnels on a single alignment with multiple layers for each tunnel
• Expand tunnel design for drilling and blasting
• Build a tunnel model and export to SCS900
• Create a tunnel surface model from point cloud data
