Bentley Rail Track Course Content

Description Product Covered: Bentley Rail Track (Fundamentals)

Duration 24 hours

Target Audience: Civil Engineer, Surveyor & Transport Planner

This intermediate level course introduces the principles of using Bentley Rail Track to complete a typical rail design project. It includes laying parallel track and designing completely new/green field railway projects. This course focuses on track design, including cant and turnouts. It includes discussion on horizontal and vertical regression techniques to reestablish existing track alignments from an existing track survey.
