Road widening and Upgrade in Costa Rica
“While working on a 3.6km road widening and upgrade that included the addition of bicycle lanes and sidewalks, I realized how quickly I was able to make progress with Civil Designer compared to other packages that I have used. For me, the following advantages make a huge difference:
– Less hardware requirements and the speed of handling complex projects.
– Being able to work graphically or with spreadsheets.
– Being able to complete designs and construction plans at the same time.
– There’s no need to switch between software packages.
– The optimization of terraces (material balancing, the top soil to strip and compaction factor) is a very helpful tool.
– The commands and functions make sense to me as an engineer.
– The excellent technical support service.”

Design of various bridge approaches
AECO have also completed the designs for a number of bridge approaches in the province of Alajuela in Costa Rica.
“Civil Designer enabled us to produce the geometric design for the horizontal and vertical alignments of various bridge approaches, as well as the road signs and road markings for these projects, in a very short time-frame.” -Mauricio Rojas, Civil Engineer, AECO, Costa Rica.
