Advanced computer technology has allowed the engineering disciplines to explore more design options and accomplish greater speed in documenting and managing data than at any time in the past. As these technologies move from leading-edge to mainstream, Upper Canada Consultants is keeping pace through training and software development, creating a far more responsive delivery system in the process. The overall economies of this integrated approach will only continue to improve.
Our CADD (Computer Aided Design and Drafting) systems are employed by all departments to document concepts and develop detailed design drawings. This interface capability accomplishes two important objectives. It helps our people save time, and thus reduce labour costs, by sharing their computer-based files as work proceeds from planning to execution. And it allows us to pass the resulting files directly to client CADD systems and municipal land information systems tor ongoing maintenance purposes.
Upper Canada's CADD services are also provided separately to clients requiring them, and our technical staff are available to assist in establishing an in-house CADD program.
Total Station and GPS survey services are employed across our organization, offering an efficient, accurate way to record survey data in the field and download them directly into a project's CADD documents. A crew of one, two or three completes the field survey electronically and can either store the information for direct downloading. Similarly, uploading CADD data to the Total Station or GPS Survey equipment can reduce the calculation time required to prepare a final on-site survey plan for registration.
