Analysis, Planning, and Execution of Earthworks Logistics in Denmark

This class provides a novel way of analyzing earthworks' logistics in linear projects such as railways and highways. As the availability of 3D models increases in the tender phase of Danish state-owned infrastructure projects, new possibilities emerge for the analyzing, estimating, and planning of construction projects. Freely available geographic information system (GIS) data, aerial imagery, and digital terrain models provide a basis for detailed analysis of project earthworks. A workflow using AutoCAD Civil 3D software, InfraWorks software, and Rhino-Grasshopper software is described, and examples of the results are shown using visualizations created in InfraWorks software.
