Civil Designer updates and development news

Client Testimonial

"We appreciate Civil Designer's Sewer modelling, platform and road design. The seamless transition between Sewer, Roads and platform design enables us to deliver realistic designs according to project requirements in short time frames. The advanced Road features in particular have been a real joy to work with.

We are currently using the sewer modelling, platform and road design modules for the Vryburg 16 Ml Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW). The project is still in progress."

Robert Fortuin, Director, Onno Fortuin Consulting.
