 OUR LATEST POLL

The state of Pennsylvania failed in an attempt to raise millions of dollars for highway and bridge infrastructure. First the FHWA denied its request to toll I-80, then the only bidder to lease the Pa. Turnpike pulled its offer. Who is to blame for this catastrophic loss in funds?

The FHWA. Pennsylvania should be allowed to toll I-80.
Pennsylvania. They should have provided the right information to the FHWA.
The economy. The private bidder would still be in the game if it was not for a tight credit market.

 WHITE PAPERS

Commercial White Paper: Using Hydraflow Storm Sewers Extension with AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008   Autodesk
The ability to perform storm water hydrology and hydraulic (H&H) tasks is crucial to civil and environmental engineers. Currently, most H&H tasks are accomplished using Microsoft® Excel® program, or other third-party applications, with no direct connection to civil engineering design and construction documentation software. As a result, engineers are forced to transfer data between various programs, which results in increased time, inefficiency, and a higher risk of error. This white paper provides a workflow using software that increases efficiency in these tasks.
