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%>).
Crane dealers across the Atlas network will be able to add Effer cranes to the range of products they offer. Effer cranes will be sold, serviced and supported by Atlas dealers in different countries and particularly in Germany and the Middle East. The Atlas display at bauma features a new Atlas AK 955, built by Effer with Atlas colours and branding. Effer and Atlas began working together in the UK market in 2012. Success of the cooperation has led to its expansion worldwide. Atlas’s owner, Fil Filipov, said
Having a long tradition of CG rollers, without central articulation, but with steering on drums, Atlas Copco’s Road Construction Equipment division now launches the Dynapac CG2300 asphalt roller. The roller is 3.95m long and 3m high with an inner turning radius of 3.1m. This means transportation advantages as well as ease of working in restricted areas.
Netherlands-based D-TEC has developed a novel vacuum tank trailer system for applications such as bentonite extraction during sample boring. An innovative steering system is said to allow the D-TEC vacuum tanktrailer to manoeuvre easily on sites where there is little space. This design also reduces tyre scrubbing and allows greater tyre life, cutting running costs over the long term. The tank trailer offers greater load capacity than previously available designs according to the firm, due to its low weight,
