The City of Scottsdale in Arizona is planning to expand it's municipal sanitary sewer infrastructure into subdivisions that currently lack public sewage systems.  During the planning and budgeting phase, the city faced a number of challenges including uneven terrain and limited construction space.  

Join Urmas Grossthal, PE, a Senior Civil Engineer for City of Scottsdale Capital Improvement Projects, as he demonstrates how Scottsdale used the Drainage & Utilities 3D Modeling Tools in OpenRoads Designer for the planning and design of the new sanitary sewer line extensions. Using a model based subsurface utility design helped them understand sewer line extension limits and the impact to surrounding areas with a trench analysis.

The webinar will cover these topics: 

1. Empowering an informed decision-making process for accurate planning and more predictable budgeting. 
2. Benefits of visualization in Google Earth for public coordination.
3. Integrating multiple file types of existing GIS data for 3D modeling.
4. Advantages of Scottsdale’s 3D modeling approach for subsurface utility design over 2D CAD design.
