The Year in Infrastructure 2007 - (Page 59) Camp Cardinal Boulevard snyder & associates, inc Camp Cardinal Boulevard is a 1.7-mile, two-lane, divided, curvilinear roadway in Iowa that includes a recreational trail, a seven-acre regional retention pond, 11,000 linear feet of reinforced concrete storm sewer pipe with 118 storm sewer structures, 7,500 linear feet of ductile iron water main, 275,000 cubic yards of class 10 borrow, and 48,000 square yards of 10-inch Portland concrete. MicroStation and the GEOPAK suite significantly reduced the time required to design this and other projects by eliminating tedious tasks ranging from creating and filling out project tabulation sheets to creating a complex site design model. By using their powerful, interactive design tools, routines that used to take the firm hours to accomplish now take minutes. The software brought the Camp Cardinal Boulevard project cost down from $6.5 million to $4.6 million. In addition, the software improved the overall quality of the end product. Eastern Peripheral Expressway span consultants pvt ltd A six-lane road approximately 270 kilometers long is being designed to help free India’s Delhi roads of huge numbers of trucks and buses. The project encompasses 46 bridges, 207 underpasses, 79 culverts, and eight interchanges. Land acquisition was envisioned as the main constraint of the project because it involved 1,860 hectares of land from five districts involving 98 villages. Thus, it was essential to finalize the horizontal alignment as quickly as possible so the land acquisition work could begin. Bentley’s MX software suite was used to help facilitate the alignments. In addition, Bentley’s STAAD software provided detailed structural analysis and design that not only helped overcome the hurdle of land acquisition, but also saved a substantial amount of time, energy, and cost by reducing the number of design repetitions.
