About this course

This course explains how to design infrastructure projects using Civil software, including road design, sewer networks, land subdivision and quantity calculation. It starts with installing the software and getting to know the user interface, then entering points and drawing surfaces. After that it explains the stages of a road project, drawing the road alignment, the profile, the cross section, the corridor and a driving test. Then it covers the sewer network and pipe drawing tools, followed by dividing land into parcels in different ways, then calculating quantities for roads, sections and sewers, and finally printing and downloading the attachments. The course suits civil and survey engineers and students who want to work on road and drainage projects. It is better to have basic knowledge of AutoCAD, but the explanation starts from installing the software. By the end you will be able to carry out a complete project that designs a road, a sewer network and a land subdivision, calculate quantities and print the sheets. The course also gives you attachments that help you practice, and offers a practical project in the land subdivision section to fix the information.

Expected outcomes

  • Ability to design roads and sewage networks using CIVIL 3D.
  • Prepare reports, quantity calculations, and printing professionally.
  • Land subdivision using advanced tools and creating accurate plans.
  • Implement integrated projects using drawings and ready-made blocks.
  • Enhance your efficiency in handling Excel files and AutoCAD drawings.
