The Year in Infrastructure 2007 - (Page 67) Southern Bypass dhV polska sp. z o.o. finalist The goal of this project was to prepare a feasibility study and final design of one of the most important roads into the suburbs of Warsaw. The road will ensure connections to the south districts of Warsaw, the Okecie International Airport, and , the system of national and provincial roads. The bypass will eliminate heavy vehicles from the city center and improve traffic conditions on surrounding streets. Using MicroStation 3D modeling and visualization capabilities, DhV Polska designed 56 new overpasses over existing streets, railroads and rivers; underground tunnels for pedestrian traffic; traffic safety devices; ecological protection; new and reconstructed underground and overground infrastructures; a footbridge in the area of the Warszawa Okecie , railway station, and miscellaneous road culverts. The software enabled the multidisciplinary team to easily collaborate using a single model. DWAF ORWRDP: De Hoop Dam Visualization graphic engineering solutions & services finalist Graphic Engineering Solutions & Services was appointed by the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry of South Africa to visualize the proposed De hoop Dam and re-routing of road R555. The region in which the dam is situated is a rapidly developing mining area with many opportunities for social and economic development. The modeling encompassed 8 million triangles for the digital terrain model. The available aerial photography of the area also had to be manipulated and merged into a single image, which, in turn, had to be resized without losing clarity on the draped model. MicroStation, Bentley Descartes, GEOPAK, Bentley MX, and other Bentley products provided a comprehensive, integrated solution to optimize the workflow and minimize the manipulation of the digital data to model the surrounding topography, the proposed dam, and the re-routed road.
