Description
SurvCADD is an engineering design software package that consists of several individual modules. When taken together, the modules cover a wide array of areas in civil engineering/site design, mining engineering, and surveying. TIPS provides the following modules
- COGO/Design - Surveying and site layout commands
- DTM/Contour - Creation of Digital Terrain Models (DTM), Contouring, & Volume Calculation
- Section/Profile - Creation of Profiles and Cross Sections, Design by Cross Section
- Hydrology - Watershed Delineation, Channel and Pond Design, Pipe and Culvert Design
- Mining/Advanced Mining - Mine Layout, Equipment Timing, Production Scheduling, Coal Reserve Calculations, Fence Diagrams, Core Hole Data Entry.
- Ore - Creation of Geologic models and Block Diagrams
Used for: Customizes AutoCAD for earthmoving and engineering additional commands and enhancements. SurvCADD consists of the following Modules: Cogo-Design, DTM-Contour, Section-Profile, Mining, Hydrology.
Used by: Regulatory or AML scientists in civil or mining engineering, geology, or related disciplines.
