Checking Link Cover
Civil Designer 6.4 allows the user to check the minimum cover over the length of a link.
The function allows the designer to test the length of all the links for minimum cover and to view problem areas in plan or on a longitudinal section.
Graphical Menu > Check Link cover
The Minimum Link Cover Dialog will open.
Enter the tolerance that must be allowed for when checking the minimum cover on the links. In the example above the program will test the sewer links for minimum cover with a tolerance of 0.3m.
Click on the Check button to start checking the minimum cover. As a problem with cover is found the details are displayed on the table as shown below.
In the example above the sewer link from node 053 to node 052 does not comply with the minimum cover requirements. At chainage 32.126 there is a low point with only 0.301m cover on the link. To view the cover problem right click on the row of interest and a menu with two options will open.
The Show Link option will change the Design Centre display to position the link with the cover problem on the centre of the screen as shown in the following illustration.
The Long Section option will open the Longitudinal Section Dialog and display a long section of the branch with the cover problem.
