Dear fellow Civil Engineers,
Last week, we had an enlightening session where we explored the world of flood protection design using cutting-edge software. The AQUATERRA Webinar provided valuable insights and practical knowledge for both seasoned professionals and those new to hydro-technical design.
📢 Key Takeaways:
⭐ Introduction to AQUATERRA: We delved into how AQUATERRA streamlines the design process for flood protection measures. From channel and river engineering to creating detailed Digital Terrain Models, AQUATERRA empowers engineers to tackle complex challenges.
⭐ Hydraulic Analysis Integration: Discover how AQUATERRA seamlessly exports models to MIKE Flood or HEC-RAS for hydraulic analysis. Learn how to import water surface results back into AQUATERRA, enhancing your flood protection designs.
⭐ Planimetry Polygons and BIM: Effortlessly define planimetry polygons and automatically generate quantity take-off tables. Plus, export your BIM-ready 3D model in IFC-standardised format.
⭐ Real-World Success Story: Hear about a project in Slovenia where AQUATERRA played a pivotal role in preventing devastating floods. Witness the design of d***s, weirs, and riverbed deepening.

n a few days, CGS Labs is hosting a webinar "Designing a 3D BIM Geological Model for Road and Railway projects". It is not too late to register for free!¨

Building Information Modelling or BIM is arguably the most successful design approach in civil engineering in recent years. A considerable advantage of the BIM model over the traditional 3D model is that it contains not only the geometry but also the information attached to the elements thus offerin...

Do you know what is a track gauge in rail transport, and how it is defined? Why do we use standard, narrow and broad track gauges?
Here is a 5-minute history lesson for all rail enthusiasts.

Track gauge is the minimum distance between the inner edges of the rail heads and is measured at a distance of 0 to 14 mm below the upper edge of the rail. At the beginning of railway development, there were no universally valid technical specifications, so engineers determined this value on their o...

Last week we visited the exhibition in Cukrarna. This monument-protected building is located in the centre of Ljubljana and has an interesting history, which has not been fully explored yet.

It was first built in 1829 as a sugar refinery. It developed very quickly and it became the biggest sugar factory by the mid-19th century in the Austro-Hungarian empire. Unfortunately, in 1858, it all ended tragically, as the building was destroyed by fire.

The owner then renovated the building, but only that much that he was able to rent it out. Living conditions were very bad. In one room lived several people, who shared a common bathroom. Cukrarna then became the synonym for poverty.

However, since many Slovenian poets lived in Cukrarna, the building has an important history, so the City of Ljubljana decided to renovate the building. They preserved the original exterior construction and appearance of the roof and inserted a steel structure inside to support four gallery spaces. Today, Cukrarna is not only famous for its history but has also become an interesting architectural achievement.

Did you know that CGS Labs software Plateia, Ferrovia and Aquaterra offer several functionalities to export points into different file formats.

Points Report is just one of the latest options that enable quick export of points from drawing to Excel file and for creating a table of points in the current drawing. In addition to X, Y and Z coordinates, you can export also other data such as labels, profiles, stations, symbols, cross-sections, etc.

The infrastructure projects we know today are demanding and complex. Capable software enables architects, civil engineers and other users to work easier and get more creative. 3D modelling has been replaced by Building Information Modeling (BIM). The main difference is that the BIM models are enriched with important data and allow sharing and managing of information.

CGS Labs software has been supporting BIM for several years now. To further improve our understanding of BIM, we decided to recreate a complex BIM pilot project using our road design software PLATEIA. On the project we also collaborated with company BEXEL, which develops specialized BIM management software, supporting 3D, 4D, 5D and 6D stages of the BIM process.

Can you imagine that more than a thousand experts are involved in one project and they are drawing the road on paper? Me neither. The infrastructure projects we know today became demanding and complex. Capable software enables architects, civil engineers and other users to work easier and get more c...
