BCAP (Broken-back Culvert Analysis Program) - This program (current Version 4.11c) was developed through research conducted at the University of Nebraska and sponsored by Nebraska Department of Roads. It provides hydraulic analysis for steep culverts having one (Single Broken-back) or two (Double Broken-back) breaks in the vertical profile. BCAP uses the same routines as the FHWA HY-8 culvert program to determine headwater depth at the culvert entrance. BCAP then calculates the water surface profile through the entire culvert, using Gradually Varied Flow equations and boundary conditions at each vertical break. The program tests for the occurrence of a hydraulic jump in each culvert segment to help determine outlet depth and velocity.

Box & Leader This .NET application was developed to aid designers in creating note box and leaders for plan sets.  The application requires the .NET 3.5 framework, and is launched from within Microstation.  The application will create a predefined note box height (based on scale) and the designer is able to dynamically define the note box width.  The leaders can be drawn at the same time as the note box or at a later point.  There are two modes, As-built (fixed color) and Construction, which can toggled through a Microstation key-in.  The note boxes are drawn on NDOR predefined levels.

Culverts This .NET application was developed to aid designers in drawing culvert pipe in plan and cross section views.  The application requires the .NET 3.5 framework, and is launched from within Microstation.  In this dialog, the designer can choose different sizes, materials and shapes to draw in a dgn file.  Once drawn, the user has the ability to modify each element of the pipe independently or as a graphic group.  The application will also be able to identify referenced culverts so that culvert extensions can be drawn in the design feature file.  There are three different modes that can be toggled through a Microstation key-in: Existing, Design, and As-built.  Each mode has predefined NDOR symbology.

Earthworks This custom application reformats the *.log file created by GEOPAK’s cross section earthwork process, and creates design file “stickup” sheets required for the plan set. (32 bit and 64 bit support)

GPK Tangent  This application was developed to aid designers in labeling horizontal alignments per NDOR standards.  The application requires the .NET 3.5 framework, and is launched from within Microstation with Geopak running (for access to the gpk file).  NDOR’s alignments are annotated by using both Geopak’s D&C Manager and this custom GPKTangent application.  The application supports many different types of horizontal alignments ranging from: survey, CD roads, temp roads, ramps and mainlines.  All different types have predefined NDOR symbology and can be labeled in 20, 50, 100 and 200 scale.

Pavement Grades This .NET application was developed by NDOR staff to produce the printable pavement grade construction books. NDOR custom GEOPAK files include two different criteria files, “PGRADE_BLUTOP DIVIDED” and “PGRADE_BLUETOP UNDIVIDED”, which are processed through the Proposed Cross Section tool within Geopak. These criteria files will create ASCII text files (*.CSV) based on the analysis of the design cross-section graphics. The PAVEMENT GRADES application will reformat this CSV file and produce the pavement grade construction books for printing.

ROW Staking This .NET windows application is used to create the final ROW Staking report from data extracted from the ROW dgn file.  The process NDOR uses for creating staking reports requires that a separate Microstation Visual Basic Application and Geopak Criteria file (part of NDOR’s Microstation/Geopak Standards) is run which creates a copy of the row design file, and extracts ROW point data based on Microstation symbologies.  The output of this process is a raw data file in text format (*.txt).  Once the raw data file has been generated, the ROW Staking application can be used to reformat for printing/delivery; as well as exporting the data to CSV format for loading into survey equipment.

Sheets  This application was developed to aid designers in placing NDOR border sheets.  The application requires the .NET 3.5 framework, and is launched from within Microstation.  The application supports all current NDOR plan and cross section border sheets from every division except Bridge.  The border sheets are placed in the dgn as references and can be placed at predefined scales.  The application has been configured so the designer can place different amounts of sheet labeling.

Slope Stakes This .NET application was developed by NDOR staff to produce the printable slope stake construction books. NDOR custom GEOPAK files include two different criteria files, “LOC_SLOPESTAKE DIVIDED” and “LOC_SLOPESTAKE UNDIVIDED”, which are processed through the Proposed Cross Section tool within Geopak. These criteria files will create ASCII text files (*.CSV) based on the analysis of the design cross-section graphics. The SLOPE STAKE application will reformat this CSV file and produce the slope stake construction books for printing.
