Drainage Engineering and Design

Drainage engineering is the Key Discipline to provide an efficient drainage system for any Infrastructure Project. In Road Projects, Drainage Systems are known as Sub-surface Systems and are designed to remove surface water from the road which would otherwise lead to flooding if not managed satisfactorily. The course modules provide detailed drainage system design process, Outfall Design, Network Modelling, Attenuation System Design and a brief overview of Sustainable Drainage Systems. Please see the Promotional Course Videos for a quick flavour. The first module covers the key components of Drainage Engineering, Drainage Strategy, Drainage Design, Outfall Design, Attenuation System Design. The second module covers drainage design process from the collection of surface water to discharge to the outfall locations such as existing watercourses. The module also covers the flood risk assessment process and Drainage Network Design, Gully Spacing, Kerb drains, and drainage modelling. The third module covers outfall design and Surface Water Storage System. The module covers Outfall types, Attenuation Ponds, Oversize Career Pipes and Flow control devices. The fourth module covers drainage standard details such as drainage kerbs, manholes, bus stop drainage kerbs, gullies, slot drains and Hydro-brakes.

Level 02 - Auto CAD

AutoCAD Level-2 covers the detailed operation process of key drawing commands. It is expected that students commence this course after completing the Auto CAD Level-1 course. The course provides the operation process of various commands like trim, extend, array, hatch, etc. The first module provides an operation process of offset and mirror commands. The second module provides an operation process of trim and extends commands. It provides all the subcommands details to use these two commands. It also provides the operation process of chamfer and fillet commands. Chamfer and fillet command also comes with various subcommands and further inside is provided within the course module. The third Module provides the operation process of array commands. Array command comes with two subcommands knows as a rectangular array and polar array. Both are detailed out within the module. The fourth Module provides the operation process of ortho, polar, o-snap and hatch commands. O-snap and hatch commands come with various subcommands and detailed process to use these commands is provided. The fifth Module provides the operation process of the Layer manager. It covers all the sub-operation within the layer manager such as freeze, lock, off, colour, line-type, line thickness, new layer creation, etc.

Level 01- Auto CAD Basics

AutoCAD is classified as the utilization of technology to assist in the design, variation, optimization of a drawing layout. In this, we can generate both 2D and 3D drawings used in road and other infrastructure projects. To understand AutoCAD basics, you need to understand what it does: The software allows to make 2D or 3D models of a product (road, building, structures, etc). The Course Module provides step by step process to use Auto CAD from “Getting Started with CAD to various commands of operations to develop drawings and X-refs. First Module “CAD Basic” commences with a desktop icon to getting start window and then explains all the details of Menus, Tabs, Settings of CAD Window. Please click to see the Preview of the Course. The second Module provides details of using the command window and how to operate it. Then basic functions like zoom, pan, etc are detailed out. The third Module starts with drawings commands like “Arc” and “Circle”. It covers all the ways and means to operate these commands. The fourth Module covers the drawing command of “Polygon” and “Rectangle”. It provides all the ways to use these two commands in various situations. Please click to see the Preview of the Course. The fifth Module covers the drawing commands like move, copy and array. It provides a detailed process to use these commands and a combination of copy and array command too. Each module provides key tips to use the command in the most efficient way to save time and effort.

Civil 3D Highway Design - Basics

Highway Design with Autodesk Civil 3D software is in demand globally and a good understanding of the Civil 3D software plus knowledge of design standards can surely help engineers to fast track their career as highway design engineers. Our Civil 3D course modules are designed to cover all key aspects of design right from getting started with opening window, familiarity with tools, dropdowns, etc to importing ground survey data, horizontal alignment design, vertical alignment design, assembly creation, corridor modelling, and generating final 3D model outputs. The first module starts with getting started with the Civil 3D start-up window, quick access toolbar, dropdown option settings, etc. The module then opens the Civil 3D metric template and explains all the ribbons such as ground data, design data, profiles, etc. Civil 3D is template-based software, therefore templates are created and saved in tool space pallets and course all the menu options of the pallet. The module also covers drawing setting, unit transformation, object layers, etc. The second module covers importing ground survey data into Civil3D. the module covers three types of data importing methods (topo survey, land XML, and lidar coordinates (x,y,z)). When importing a CAD file, first all layers are isolated and then imported to Civil3D. The module explains the land XML and lidar data transfer process in a detailed manner. After transferring data, the module demonstrates how to create the ground surface model. The third module demonstrates how to analyze the surface, refine the surface and remove the errors like null levels, zero levels, etc. Then it covers how to trim falls surface area that sits outside the project road boundary. The module demonstrates how to create different surface types using tool pallets e.g contours, ground surface, etc, and finally how to check the ground level, profile and sections dynamically. The fourth module commences with horizontal alignment design in Civil 3D and covers 4 types of horizontal alignment design i.e centreline alignment, offset alignment, curve return alignment and miscellaneous alignment. Create alignment from the layout or predefine polyline or import the alignment from other software or file. The module also covers the quick alignment design method and setting the line style, curve style, transition style, point style, etc. The fifth module covers alignment design with Element Method. The module demonstrates fixed tangent, floating curve with transition length, fixed curved with transition length, fillet curve and reverse curve design for various design speed criteria. The module demonstrates some tips to minimize abortive work (when the amendment is needed) when designing it with the element method. The sixth module explains the vertical design process of the proposed centreline. For that, first, we import the ground model land XML and then start the profile creation process. The module describes how to fix the setting of the profile creating window. The vertical profile can be created by the quick method and element method. Both methods are described methodically for easy understanding. The module also explains how to set the profile band to show chainage, ground levels, proposed road levels, superelevation, etc. The seventh module describes how to create an annotation for the profile drawing production and how to make them in a presentable format. It shows how to show curves and gradients details within the profile section and how to create bands at the lower section showing chainage, proposed levels, ground levels, superelevation, horizontal alignment details, vertical alignment details, etc. The module also covers how to change grid style, font style, line type, datum levels, etc The Eighth module describes the process of creating cross-sections on the 3D model. Here module starts with assembly creation and it demonstrates two types of assemblies, dual carriageway assembly (without central median) and dual carriageway assembly (with central median). It demonstrates how to create assemblies from tool pallets. The ninth module describes the process to review and analyzing the corridor. It explains how to visualize the corridor against cross-section assemblies, how to fix the errors in the corridor, and how to make it in a presentable format. The tenth module described how to create retaining walls profiles in place of the embankment and describes how to generate cross-sections from the design model.
