Southern Bypass dhv polska sp. z o.o.
The goal of this project was to prepare a feasibility study
and final design of one of the most important roads into the
suburbs of Warsaw. The road will ensure connections to the
south districts of Warsaw, the Oke, cie International Airport, and
the system of national and provincial roads. The bypass will
eliminate heavy vehicles from the city center and improve
traffic conditions on surrounding streets.
Using MicroStation 3D modeling and visualization
capabilities, DhV Polska designed 56 new overpasses over
existing streets, railroads and rivers; underground tunnels for
pedestrian traffic; traffic safety devices; ecological protection;
new and reconstructed underground and overground infrastructures; a footbridge in the area of the Warszawa Oke, cie
railway station, and miscellaneous road culverts. The software
enabled the multidisciplinary team to easily collaborate
using a single model.
DWAF ORWRDP: De Hoop Dam Visualization graphic engineering solutions & services
FINALIST
Graphic Engineering Solutions & Services was appointed by
the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry of South Africa
to visualize the proposed De hoop Dam and re-routing of
road R555. The region in which the dam is situated is a rapidly
developing mining area with many opportunities for social
and economic development.
The modeling encompassed 8 million triangles for the digital
terrain model. The available aerial photography of the area
also had to be manipulated and merged into a single image,
which, in turn, had to be resized without losing clarity on the
draped model. MicroStation, Bentley Descartes, GEOPAK,
Bentley MX, and other Bentley products provided a compre-
hensive, integrated solution to optimize the workflow and
minimize the manipulation of the digital data to model the
surrounding topography, the proposed dam, and the
re-routed road.
