Upcoming training & events

7 - 8 Feb 2023

2 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This 2-day course exposes students to the entire workflow for using OpenRoads Designer (ORD) Survey. Students import data from a number of sources, reduce it to coordinates, display the results and correct coding errors. The data is then used to generate reports for uploading, terrains for design and graphics for planimetrics. This course is recommended surveyors and others who are will use ORD Survey for the office-side of preparing survey data to pass on to designer and/or uploading.

21 - 23 Feb 2023

3 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This course utilizes the KYTC drainage workspace and is developed to equip drainage designers on KYTC projects to be able to complete the drainage design.

6 - 9 Mar 2023

4 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This course teaches the basics of 2D MicroStation drafting using example highway projects. Students learn how to draw civil engineering details using Placement, Modify, Manipulation and Grouping tools with AccuDraw. They also work with Cells and References. The course teaches the workflow for creating sheets including Drawing Models and Sheet Models. Students then learn how to annotate in the Drawing Model and work with the Sheet Models in the Sheet Index, including how to plot the sheets.

27 - 30 Mar 2023

4 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This training course guides you through an OpenRoads Designer (ORD) roadway workflow using terrain models, civil geometry, dynamic profiles, creating templates, corridor modeling, dynamic sections, volumes, plottable sections, plan and profile creation as well as proposed terrain model creation.

Wed 29 Mar 2023

8:30 AM - 4:00 PM (7 hours 30 minutes)

The Highway Plan Reading class is a beginning level class that teaches students how to read and interpret a set of highway plans. This training places an emphasis on the highway plans used by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).

25 - 27 Apr 2023

3 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This course goes beyond the basics of 2D drafting by exploring 3D concepts needed for working on civil-related projects including basic 3D drafting. Other concepts include creating 3D parametric cells, creating single sheets (plan and typical sections), creating special auxiliary sheets, creating reports and tables, working with raster images like aerial photos and topo maps and using Bing Maps for background images.

22 - 25 May 2023

4 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This course is designed for civil engineers and designers who currently use OpenRoads Designer (ORD) for design and evaluation of highway or other corridor projects. It goes above and beyond the basic ORD course to enhance the students’ productivity and troubleshooting skills with the software in the topics listed below, with a primary focus on corridors and the creation of 3D models. This course is taught using KYTC standards and configuration.
