The principal objective of design engineer is to prepare an optimal Bill of Material 2. Bill of Material directly affects the bid (RFP) 3. Since steel is more expensive than concrete, PT optimization is the key in this process. 4. Using Midas Civil engineers can cut short the iteration process to find the appropriate PT. 5. Different construction methods can be evaluated in less time. 6. High quality reports can be generated in the format as desired by the Client 7. Proposals can be supported through program generated animations in presentation. 7 midas Civil Online Bridge Seminar Series Bridging Your Innovations to Realities Few project examples US 17 Wilmington By Pass in USA Lee Roy Selmon Flyovers in FL USA Selmon lee roy-PB Calgary West LRT in Calgary Canada Galena Creek bridge in NV USA 8 midas Civil Online Bridge Seminar Series Bridging Your Innovations to Realities Technical Partners 9 midas Civil Online Bridge Seminar Series Bridging Your Innovations to Realities Next Webinar 10 Thank You!
