Ports & Dredging

Dredging Design & Volumes:

- Design channels and berthing pockets using 12d Model’s alignment and earthwork design tools.

Volume Calculations:

- Map geotechnical layers to assist with dredge material analysis. 
- Multiple volume reporting options including length, area and exact methods.

Concept Planning:

- Tools to assist with the quick design dredging and landside infrastructure to assist with tendering and preliminary design analysis.

Port Civil Infrastructure Design:

- 12d can be used to model access roads, intersections, hardstands, retaining walls and numerous other elements of port civil infrastructure.

Non-gravity Services  & Subsurface Utilities:

- Coordinate and grade all non-gravity services and subsurface utilities to ensure sufficient cover and clearance for all. 
- A variety of string types may be used, including Super string conduits, Pipeline strings, Drainage strings and Super Alignments. 
- Designs can be exported to GIS for future reference and use.

Surface Drainage:

- Create overland flow models. Calculate and display extent of ponding at sags and flooded widths/depths/velocities along overland flow paths. 
- Highlight Critical Areas. 
- Fullyintegrated

in 3-D with the terrain model and underground drainage networks. 
- Analysis options available in 1-D and 2-D.

Drainage Networks:

- Analyse, design, grade and size drainage networks (pits/pipes/culverts/channels). 
-Integrated

in 3-D with terrain model, crossing services and hydrological models. 
- HGL analysis available using the rational method and dynamic hydrograph methods. 
- Use of 3rd party drainage analysis software is also supported.

Port Rail Design:

- 12d’s integrated railway design module can be utilised to develop detail railways designs. 
- It is fully customisable to meet local design standards with numerous tools to assist with design automation.

Visualisation & Presentation:

- The 3-D design is automatically/continuously created and can be viewed at any stage of the design process to provide instant real life representation of the project. 

This is enhanced by:

 -The automatic application of textures to the design surface triangulation
- The draping of aerial photography on existing surfaces
 - Addition of features such as guardrails, line marking, street lighting, barriers, vehicles, trees and houses
 - Walk and drive through the design with options to record the drive as a movie to share with clients and other stakeholders.

Project Documentation:

- Automate the production of reports and drawings (plans, cross-sections and long-sections) and reduce drafting times.
