Objectives
 Discuss the importance of erven layout based on contours on a DTM.

 Design and display easy access to a residential township by using a
CAD program.
 Calculate the water demand for a small residential area and design a
reticulation network.
 Design a retention pond and calculate its volumes for excavation.
 Design road access to allow low volume traffic and check its standards
as based on the SAPEM specifications.
 Design and display a sewer network that will cater for residents needs.
 Show competence in using structural software such as Prokon for design
elements such as bridges.
Introduction
The Project entails understanding and
analyzing basic Civil Designer Civil
Engineering Software that is a preferred
civil engineering software package
offering a completely integrated civil
Infrastructure design solution.
Design challenges that we faced was:

 Erven layout with contours
 Design of retention pond with

volumes.
 Contour development with retention

pond design.
 Water reticulation and sewer layout.
 Prokon Analysis
Erven Layout with Contours
 Interpolate doing a triangulation exercise where you fill the gabs with heights. After
filling the gabs using interpolation we re-triangulate in memory.
 After re-triangulation in the terrain mode we get a pop up saying scanned
successfully for visible portion of model.
 Make sure that all gabs are filled by re-triangulation followed.
 Go to plot and generate and it will ask you for a sheet file and browse A0 size go to
knowledge base software and load a plain cad sheet file.
 We looked at using Google to go and find Elsenberg GIS to draw and come up with
our design for our town layout. Using software tools like the snipping tool and insert
image in Cad mode. This allows us to draw up the cadastral boundary layers and
plots easily with more accurate lines.
Landfill Platform and Platform
volume.
 By employing the stringing technique in

Civil Designer, you can create precise
and customizable platform designs that
align with your project requirements. The
software provides tools to efficiently
manipulate strings, generate platform
surfaces, design retention ponds, roads,
storm water and perform necessary
analysis, streamlining the design process.
Landfill Platform Volume
 Landfill platform volume refers
to the measurement of the amount of
Earthwork required for the construction of
a landfill platform. A landfill platform is a
Prepared area within a landfill site where
Waste materials are deposited and
Compacted. The volume calculation helps
Determine the quantity of material that needs to be excavated (cut) or
added (fill) to achieve the desired elevation and shape of the platform.
Reticulation
To start laying pipes switch on pipes layer and draw
simple cad lines and draw simple cad lines and draw
parallel copy and continue laying your water pipes.
 Create a water file, go to import and convert

drawing entities and put the layers in water pipes,
the software will automatically put in a node in the
water system that is responsible for testing water
pressure.
 Most used pipes are the UPVC SANS 966 pressure

class 9.
 Once your pipes are installed you will have to

attach a water source by drawing a borehole,
inserting a pump and inserting a reservoir which will
be applied in the top side of your erven.
Sewer System
 To set up your sewer layout keep in mind
sewer is gravity fed. In the sewer mode
start a sewer file. Go to edit go to
default settings go to manhole type go
to 1200 round precast , the type of pipes
we going to design defaults go to PVC.
 Bedding class you can use is flexible we

designing one pipe the minimum cover
is 1.4 m deep . Minimum link length is
80m which is the distance between the
manholes. The design parameter in
sewer system is unit/flow, friction loss is
according to manning and the manning
factor is 0,011.
Facing difficulties and Solutions.
 Design problems we encountered , but we solved by consulting with
the lecturer.
 We encountered difficulties with files from roads but consulted the
lecturer and asking classmates for help.
 Group work, we put our differences aside to overcome issues that
we had and completed the assignment successfully.
