Overview
Causeway Design is a comprehensive, cloud-licenced design software suite built for civil engineers and infrastructure professionals. It supports the full lifecycle of compliant infrastructure design, covering ground modelling, road and site layout, drainage systems, traffic elements, and vehicle path analysis within a single, integrated environment. By bringing multiple engineering disciplines together on one platform, Causeway Design improves design consistency, accelerates approval processes, reduces rework, and increases overall productivity and accuracy across both public and private infrastructure projects. The solution is designed to support collaborative workflows, regulatory compliance, and efficient delivery of complex civil engineering schemes.
Features and Capabilities
- **Core Design Environment: **Provides a unified, multi-discipline platform that enables civil and infrastructure design teams to work within a single, consistent design environment. Real-time updates ensure that changes made in one area are immediately reflected across all related design elements, significantly reducing errors, duplication, and manual rework.
- **Cloud & Licensing: **Offers flexible cloud-based licensing that allows users to access the software remotely and collaborate across locations. Floating licences enable efficient licence sharing across teams, supporting scalable usage without restricting individual users.
- **Ground Modelling and Road Design: **Includes robust tools for terrain modelling, surface creation, and roadway design. Design changes dynamically update connected elements, ensuring alignment between ground models, road geometry, and associated infrastructure components.
- **Drainage Design & Hydraulic Tools: **Supports end-to-end drainage design, including sustainable drainage systems and compliant hydraulic calculations. The tools help engineers design efficient drainage networks while meeting regulatory and environmental standards.
- **Traffic & Vehicle Path Design: **Enables the design of traffic elements such as road markings, signage, and swept path analysis for vehicle movements. These capabilities help ensure designs meet safety requirements and support compliant, functional transport infrastructure.
- **Integration & Compatibility: **Can be used as a standalone solution or integrated with established CAD environments such as AutoCAD and Civil 3D. This flexibility allows organizations to enhance existing workflows without replacing their current design tools.
- **Compliance & Approval Workflows: **Includes built-in checks and workflows aligned with design standards and regulatory requirements. Outputs are structured to support submission and approval processes, reducing delays and revisions.
- **Output & Reporting Tools: **Generates professional drawings, reports, schedules, and BIM Level-2 compliant outputs. Automated documentation tools reduce manual effort while maintaining consistency and accuracy across deliverables.
- **Collaboration & Project Efficiency: **Supports multi-user collaboration across teams and locations, enabling faster design iterations and improved coordination. By centralizing data and workflows, the software helps teams deliver projects more efficiently and with greater confidence.
