Engineering an easier way.

"After years of struggling with the “Cadillac” of Engineering software we decided to give RoadEng a try and to our amazement we found it very intuitive and complete. It gives us all that we needed in design software without all of the bells and whistles, which we did not need. Our first test was to design a 3 mile paving reconstruction project starting from scratch. Even though this was our first try, and not having used the software before, within a week we had the whole project complete and we only had to make four - ten minute phone calls to tech support. The next week we tried another 3 mile paving reconstruction project and had it all done in one day (plans, profile and cross sections) without any phone calls.

I would recommend this software to any County or City Engineering Department that is looking for software that is easy to learn and has all that is needed to get the job done."

"At Associated Engineering, we use a variety of different software packages depending on the project and the client needs. RoadEng is unique in its interactive capability and definitely complements our other software. For conceptual and preliminary design, RoadEng has proven to be a valuable tool to quickly develop and optimize our road and highway designs and balance earthworks. We are also able to attach orthophotos and AutoCAD drawings as backgrounds to assist with the design process. The importing and exporting of AutoCAD data works very well.

RoadEng is fast, easy to use, and easy to learn. We are able to import large data sets from raw survey files (including some LIDAR based survey) into the Terrain module and begin laying out our horizontal and vertical alignments in the Location module within minutes. And if the horizontal or vertical alignment is changed, all of the cross sections would automatically be adjusted.

The staff at Softree have been very helpful. They really care about their clients and their product. They have always been available to provide support and updates. It is a pleasure to work with them."

"We at ESRA (East Side Road Authority) have been using Softree Optimal since its launch. It has become an integral part of our engineering design software. With it we are able to test multiple vertical alignments in very short time spans, allowing us to test alignments that we would usually not have the option for due to time constraints. It has (on average) reduced our estimated cost for construction of subgrade by 15%-20%. Its ability to take into account the varying aspects of road construction and materials is unparalleled. We would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy to use, quick and accurate road design software."
