We would like to take this opportunity of thanking our clients for their valued support at last week’s IMESA conference. The show was a great success with over 540 delegates and more than 50 exhibitors. A pleasant surprise was a visit from Miss SA 2000 and guest speaker at the conference, Jo-Ann Strauss.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Design Criteria
With Civil Designer 6.3, it now allows you to have electronic design criteria for horizontal alignment, vertical alignment and super-elevation parameters.
Multiple design criteria files can be saved for different clients, regions or state authorities. This great feature negates time-consuming design criteria searches as well as human error.

The function takes into account many variables for the different alignments, amongst these are: criteria for handling broken-back and compound curves, minimum K-values for sags and crests, super-elevation for straights and lane factor, various development methods for transition curves and limiting tangent length for broken-back curves.

CUSTOMER SHOWCASE
If I make a mistake, we've
had it!I
The experienced eyes of André Spies twinkle with a ready smile. "I have to determine the level where the cut and fill are properly balanced, or for example balance a site using a 20% bulking factor and leaving about 5000m³ excess fill for later use. If I mess up here, the whole job starts on the wrong foot and it is difficult to fix."
André Spies has been around the block a few times as they say. The section headed "Detail of Experience" in his voluminous résumé seems to almost downplay the varied and vast experience of this quietly spoken Civil Technician at Africon in Cape Town. It says his 'main responsibilities are geometric design and related road works, and then lists eight different aspects of roads as examples.
