What is foundation design automation ?

Process that emulates an engineer’s

foundation design work

from planning to construction seamlessly

What is Automation ?

How to Automation ?

» Understanding the current foundation workprocess going from planning to constructiondrawing

» Use tools that closely adhere to the work processcomponents as seamlessly as possible

» Automate every phase of the foundation work
