The easiest civil design software you’ll ever use...or teach.
Unlike many other civil design software options, RoadEng focuses on engineering over drafting, this enables educators to easily demonstrate the principles of geometric road design in a software environment.
Within a matter of hours, you can get your classroom up and running.

Why Teach with RoadEng?
Our software products are designed with a focus on engineering over drafting. This can help you to illustrate engineering principles without inundating students with complicated drafting software.
Compatible with other engineering programs. Compatible with industry. Equip students with valuable software knowledge that can be applied in a variety of work environments.
Allow your students to obtain a global view of corridor design, from survey data entry to output of finished designs.
Interactive and dynamically updating window setup allows you to visually demonstrate the principles of geometric design, including: sight-stopping distance, curve design, mass haul etc.
Calculate your earthwork quantities. Increase efficiency by tracking and reporting material movement. Graphically analyze material movement and reduce construction costs.
Get yourself and your students up and running in a few hours, not years... Over 90% of our users do not require formal training.
RoadEng Features & Functions
Geometric corridor design in a simple and intuitive user interface. Visualize your design in 3D, plan, profile and section views simultaneously. Make a change to the project, dynamically watch all of the windows update.
Your cross-section template is an essential building block for your corridor design. RoadEng’s flexible template editor allows you to assemble typical sections using a library of customizable components. Account for ditches, pavement, sub-base materials, varying lane widths, cut slopes, variable height fill slopes, curbs, sidewalks etc.
Visualize the template in typical sections (or at a specific station) prior to implementing in your design.
Get your earthwork and material volumes, as well as the sub-grade construction costs. We call this 'Design Time Costing'.
With earthwork costing data as you design, you can adjust your design based on cost. Compare costs for design alternatives. Know preliminary construction costs before you build.

“In Mahnomen County, our problem has been finding a road design software package that is simple enough for our technicians to learn and retain after a season of being in the field, but that is also powerful enough to do the things that we need to accomplish in our road designs.
Our Engineering Technicians find it easy to learn and use, and the quantities generated by the program have been very accurate. The other thing I have been very pleased with is the technical support for the program. The group at Softree has been very quick to answer any of our questions and have been great to work with. "
