685 Autodesk has launched a specialist training and certification package for civil engineers to bring them up to speed on modem BIM (information modelling) workflows. The Autodesk Official Training Guide, is not just teaching the functionality of the programs says the company, but aims to show how the Autodesk infrastructure software workflows "can help owners and service providers on roads and highways improve productivity, optimise designs, and accelerate project approvals." The course simulates a roadways project from planning and design through visual communication and construction documentation using an integrated BIM workflow using the latest 3282 AutoCAD Civil 3D, Autodesk InfraWorks, Autodesk InfraWorks 360, and Autodesk Navisworks Manage software. The Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite 2014: BIM Workflow for Roads and Highways guide is available in hard copy or eBook format by online purchase from Ascent publishing (%$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalwww.ASCENTed.comwww.ASCENTed.comfalsehttp://www.ascented.com/falsefalse%>).
Atlas Copco Road Construction Equipment has decided to align the visual identity of its Dynapac range of rollers and pavers to the design used by the other divisions in the Atlas Copco Construction Technique business area. Launched at bauma, the new Atlas Copco logotype is clearly visible on the products together with the Dynapac name. The colour scheme changes to yellow and grey, which is already used for construction tools, portable compressors and generators.
The novel cranes sheaves now being offered by component specialist Nylacast are said to extend rope wear life and reduce maintenance needs. The innovative polymer formulation shares technology with the proven Bigfoot outrigger pads, which help with load distribution in crane lift applications. The new polymer sheaves are said to offer key benefits over existing steel sheaves such as lower weight, which makes them easier to handle during installation or replacement.

This Friday is the last chance to benefit from early registration rates for PPRS Nice 2018 – the Pavement Preservation and Recycling Summit – in March.
Early-bird rates will be available until midnight on December 15.
