2.  Project Information and Data Collection
 Existing Surface/Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
 Existing Utilities
 Break Lines
 X-Reference Files
 Horizontal Alignments
 Existing Ground Profile
 Finish Ground Profile
 Assemblies and Corridors
 Intersections and Cross Sections

3.  The municipality of Maple Ridge proposed a re-construction of
240 Street, south of McClure Dr. to 109 Ave. and intersection
(240 St & 109 Ave.) with drainage improvements.

6.  Google Earth: Search for ‘Kanaka Creek, Maple Ridge, BC’
 Kanaka Creek project located in zone 10 U
 Apply NAD83 coordinate system zone numbers to current project

7.  Import Survey Data and
Create Existing Ground
Surface:
◦ The First Number is a
Point Number,
◦ Second Number has 7
digits indicating Northing
Coordinates
◦ Third Number has 6 digits
indicating Easting
Coordinates
◦ Fourth Number indicates
Elevation of that point
◦ Fifth Number indicates
Point Description
The PNEZD file
format is
separated by
commas

8. After

9. • Existing surface (Contour)

10.  Break lines provide a more
accurate existing surface
 Give more precise cut/fill
volume calculations to allow
for more accurate estimations

13. An X-ref is an ‘external reference' to another
AutoCAD drawing file. One file can reference
many other files and display them as if they were
one. These are used in larger projects for many
reasons:
1. They keep the file sizes down
2. They allow many users to work on individual
components of a project
3. Every time an X-ref is loaded, it is the most recent
version of the drawing
4. X-ref's can be updated, added, or unattached from the
main drawing at any time
5. You can X-ref drawings that they themselves X-ref
other drawings (nesting)
6. (At the end of Process we will be creating numbers of
XREF and use them for Printout)

14.  Horizontal Alignment.
 Vertical Profile or FG Profile
 Cross sections

15. •Curve
•Spiral
•Tangent
Horizontal
Alignment
is the first
element in
roadway
design –
created on
the
elevation
Zero (0).

16. • Existing Ground Profile is a longitudinal cross section along a
horizontal alignment passing through a surface.
• FG Profile is the proposed ground profile – through which vehicle
will move.

17. For this Project, two
Assemblies were created:
• ‘Assembly-1’
Curb gutter, Side walks
& Slopes on both sides
• ‘Assembly 2’
Right side – curb &
gutter, side walk and
slopes
Left side- Shoulder and
slopes
Assembly -1
Assembly – 2

18.  Intersections are created in order to provide a
smooth turn for all vehicles. We used a 15 m
radius to allow trucks to turn safely.

19.  A corridor is the roadway 3D
model that results from the
combination of a horizontal and
vertical alignment, a surface, and
an assembly.

20. A cross section is a vertical plane taken right angles to Center line of
Roadway showing the various control line showing the various elements
that make up the roads.

Fill Volume: 25,289.60 Cum
Net (Fill) Volume: 21,724.00 Cum

26.  I would like to express my deepest appreciation
to all those who provided me the possibility to
complete this project. A special gratitude I give
to Mr Mahmutjan Nur for teaching C3D
Methodology and guiding me through the
project. I also like to thank Mr. Ziauddin
Mohammed for building the base of Civil 3D by
his passionate teaching.
 Last but not least, many thanks go to all stuff
members of Metro College and my fellow
students for their kind feedback and help.

27. After completing the Project, I learn few things
to became a successful Civil Designer
 Always double check the work
 Never skip any issue
 Taking responsibility
 Prepare in advance
