• Abstract:
  3D engineered modeling is a relatively new and developing technology that can provide numerous benefi ts to owners, engineers, ; contractors, and the general public. This manual is for highway agencies that are considering or are in the process of switching ; from 2D plan sets to 3D engineered models in their highway construction projects. It will discuss some of the benefi ts, ; applications, limitations, and implementation considerations for 3D engineered models used for survey, design, and construction. ; Note that is not intended to cover all eventualities in all states regarding the deployment of 3D engineered models for highway ; construction. Rather, it describes how one state—Iowa—uses 3D engineered models for construction of highway projects, from ; planning and surveying through design and construction.
