Hanna + Hutchinson Consulting Engineers Ltd has upgraded to Causeway’s productivity-enhancing Live Design platform. The move has been described as “a natural progression” for the civil and structural engineering company based in Northern Ireland.
Causeway Live Design was launched in 2021 and enables engineers to migrate design processes into a single model, managing road design, ground modelling and drainage design in the same real-time design environment.
A long-term user of Causeway software solutions, Hanna + Hutchinson has been working with Causeway PDS for nearly 20 years.
Causeway PDS is widely used by civil engineers and provides powerful tools covering all aspects of earthworks, development site infrastructure and highway design. The inclusion of intelligent 3D modelling capabilities and integration functionality means Causeway PDS also delivers all of the benefits of Building Information Modelling (BIM).
The success of this relationship, coupled with the continuing expansion of the business undertaken in water/drainage projects, persuaded Hanna + Hutchinson to combine Causeway PDS with Causeway Flow drainage design software.
This was particularly important in terms of working with Northern Ireland Water, a water company already making extensive use of Flow for checking and approving NI design submissions.
Causeway Senior Account Manager Yalda Majdabadi explains: “One of Hanna + Hutchinson’s engineers – a Causeway Flow super user who trains others within the business attended one of our Causeway Flow training seminars in May this year and they immediately recognised the benefits of dynamic design. If you think of Causeway PDS as highways and Causeway Flow as drainage, Causeway Live Design is a platform that enables all of that design work within one interface. For a business like Hanna + Hutchinson, already a confident user, moving up to Causeway Live Design was the obvious next step."
