“Bentley’s ambition to push technological boundaries and its ability to adapt to a changing environment has enabled the CCJV BIM team to develop a model that encourages a collaborative approach to both planning and efficiency.”
Technical Capabilities
Design Bridges
- Place bridges
- Simple two clicks bridge placement
- Number of supports automatically determined from the bridge length
- Can set girder type, support type, abutment type, wing walls
- Can set bridge deck template
- Superelevation determined automatically (Method 5)
- Edit bridges
- Simple editing of Horizontal and Vertical
- Change girder type, support type, abutment type, wing walls
- Change number of spans/supports, number of girder
- Rotate supports, move/skew abutment
Design Intersections
- Place intersections
- Simple placement
- First roads selected sets the elevation of the additional roads
- Default radius and taper
- Default intersection marking
- Edit intersections
- Modification of taper length and offset
- Modification of radius
Design Ramps
- Place ramps
- Connects two roads with the desired alignment
- Automatic auxiliary lane creation based on design speed
- Default taper length, taper width design radius, gore radius
- Default marking
- Edit ramps
- Modification of taper length, taper width design radius, gore radius
- Ramp Designer
Design Roads
- Place roads
- Follows AASHTO standards; class, design speed, default curve radius
- Best fit existing ground vertically
- Template (typical cross-section) based approach
- Super elevation determined automatically (Method 5)
- Named Roads
- Editing of horizontal alignment
- Insert PI, delete PI, move PI
- Edit curve radius graphically or precisely using heads-up text editing
- Editing of vertical alignment
- Insert PVI, Delete PVI, Move PVI
- Edit vertical curve length and slope graphically or precisely using heads-up text editing
- Template drop editing
- Easy editing of template drops, editing transition stationing
- Roundabouts design
- Tunnels design
Bridge Deck Templates
- Create New Template
- Easy component-based creation
- Specialized road template with different components adapted to the bridges
- Component material determines quantities and cost
- Mange template
- Duplicate, Delete, Copy/Paste, Rename
- Modify template
- Save change as a copy
- Modify the design
Roadway Template
- Create new template
- Easy component based creation
Lane Marking
- Lane marking automatically created
- Edit lane marking
- Change the lane marking for the full road
- Change the lane marking for portion of the road independently of the road template itself
Pavement Marking
- Ability to place punctual pavement marking, like turn arrows, etc.
- Ability to place linear pavement marking such as crosswalk
Place City Furniture
- Place and edit guardrails, streetlights, and other city furniture
- Choose what symbol to use
- Set offset from alignment
- Set angle from alignment
Assemble Context Data
- Import the following file types:
- Terrain Models (.DTM, .TIN)
- Raster DEM (.IMG, .DEM)
- Images (Ingr. TIFF / GEOTIFF (*.tif; *.tiff), Internet TIFF and TIFF64 (*.Itiff; *.itiff64), JPEG (*.Jpg; *.jpeg; *.jpe; *.jfif), JPEG 2000 (*.jp2; *.j2k; *.jpm), MrSID (*.sid), ERMapper Compressed Wavelets (*.ecw)
- GIS (SHP, Esri File Geodatabase, OpenStreetMap), can be mapped to ConceptStation objects and attributes
- Filter based on project extent, view, all, fence
- DGN as read-only
- Reference Reality Meshes (.3MX) from Bentley ContextCapture
- Reality Data Services
- 3D data (Terrain, Imagery, Roads, Hydro, Buildings)
Aerial Imageries
- Bing Map as images provider
Visualization
- LumenRT Designer
Interoperability with Detailed Civil Design
- Export to OpenRoads
- Export ALG, IRD, ITL, RWK
- Supports geometry, template, template drop transition, superelevation
Estimate Cost and Quantities
- Project cost overview
- High level overall design cost
- Includes allowance by default
- Detailed quantities/cost, listing cost items, and associated quantities
