One program for every job you survey.
Linear jobs surveyed by chainage get cross and long sections, quantities and setting-out readings. Sites, tanks and layouts surveyed as points get contours, cut and fill and capacities. Each page below walks through one kind of job, start to finish.

Linear jobs, by chainage
Design the typical section once as a template, place it along the route, and every chainage gets its layers, toe points and quantities.
Roads and pavements
Subgrade, GSB, WMM and bituminous courses as layers from one template, placed by gradient.
Roads →Bunds and embankments
Fill volumes with side slopes and toe points worked out at every chainage.
Bunds and embankments →Railways
Subgrade, blanket and ballast as layers from one template, along long L-sections.
Railways →Drains and sewers
Trench sections drawn as templates, with quantities per chainage.

Sites, tanks and layouts, from survey points
Import total station or DGPS points; the surface and contours are drawn at once, and the volumes and capacities are worked out on it.
Site levelling
Cut and fill to level a plot, flat or with a fall, and the level where they balance.
Site levelling →Tanks and ponds
Capacity and water spread up to the full tank level, and the desilting quantity.
Tanks and ponds →Layout contour plans
Contour plans from DGPS or total station points, with breaklines and your title block.
