Infrastructure

Sewer, stormwater and water supply networks are built in the same drawing, from the manhole to the trench volumes. Levels come from the institution's rules and errors are fixed with one click.

Building the network

The manhole and pipe network is built in the drawing. Levels are taken from the rules of the institution you choose. Several networks sit side by side in the same drawing.

Network from existing data

There is no need to redraw the network from scratch. It is built from the data you already have.

Old drawingThe network is extracted from the lines and text of an old drawing

Rule check

The network is checked against the rules of the selected institution. What is non-compliant is listed; errors are fixed with one click.

Manhole spacingCompared with the rule limits
Network recordsManholes and pipes in a table; findings listed by heading

Findings in the network records window: category, heading and rows with severity colours — **Figure 4**Findings · non-compliant manholes and pipes

3D and clashes

Manhole and pipe bodies are visible in 3D below the terrain. The x-ray view lets you read what is inside the ground.

ClashesCrossings between networks are marked in 3D and added to the findings list

Where two networks cross, 3D view; the clash is marked and its explanation appears on hover — **Figure 5**Clashes between networks · marked in 3D

Trench volumes

Trench excavation, bedding, surround, manholes and backfill are calculated separately. Several networks in the same trench are handled together.

Shared trenchIncluding benches and sloping ground

Shared trench cross-section on a slope: the water pipe in its own bench, the manhole at the trench bottom; area table below — **Figure 6**Shared trench cross-section on a slope · Ø250 water pipe in its own bench, manhole at the bottom · km 0+000

Longitudinal profile

The pipeline's longitudinal profile is drawn as a sheet together with the terrain, pipe and manholes.

Trench cross-section and manhole detail

The trench cross-section and the manhole detail come out of the drawing as sheets.

Plainly: what it does not do

It does not calculate pipe diameter or flow (there is no hydraulic calculation).
There is no catchment calculation.
It does not produce institutional payment schedules.

Frequently asked questions

Can I open my existing DWG projects?

DWG and DXF files are read. DWG is not written; drawings are delivered as DXF. Alignment and surface are exchanged through LandXML.

Which institutional rules are included?

The rules of İller Bankası (Turkey's municipal development bank), İSKİ (Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration) and DSİ (State Hydraulic Works), and the tables of the KGM (General Directorate of Highways) handbook are built into the program. Every value carries its source; a value whose source is not verified does not enter the calculation.
