Customer Success
Korean Engineers Complete Road Designs 40 Percent Faster
Learn how Dohwa Consulting Engineers overcame 2D design limitations and accelerated the pace of their projects using Autodesk Civil 3D software.
"We expect that our move to Autodesk Civil 3D will not only meet our clients’ needs and give Dohwa a competitive advantage, but also help us to further develop Korea’s roadway infrastructure."
Roh Hee-Chan,
Deputy Manager, Department of Roads,
Dohwa Consulting Engineers Company, Ltd.
“Changing designs with 2D tools required a lot of time and increased costs,”
says Roh Hee-Chan, deputy manager of the road department at Dohwa.
“Conventional 2D design does not include height data. Engineers must add actual measurements after design and use another program to insert a third dimension, which adds even more time and costs to the project.”
