Webinar: Wetland & Watercourse Design Using RoadEng

Updated May 20, 2026


This article applies to:
  • RoadEng Civil

RoadEng isn't just for roads. In this webinar, we use LiDAR data to design a wetland impoundment and drainage channel from the ground up — demonstrating how RoadEng's Terrain and Location modules handle non-linear site design alongside traditional corridor work.

Topics covered:

Building a surface model from LiDAR data Designing wetland features: grading, berms, vegetation shelves & irregular shapes Balancing cut and fill volumes within a catchment Designing a drainage channel with custom cross-section templates Producing construction output sheets

Tools used:

Terrain Module (TIN, Grading, Buffer, Surface Merge, Volume Calculations) | Location Module (Alignments, Templates, Multi-Plot)
