Data Prep
Efficient construction operations begin with accurate data preparation. Business Center HCE helps ensure data is clean, up-to-date and delivered in the right format to get the job done.
Import and clean up CAD dataUse CAD tools to trim, extend and offset linesElevate contours, pads, lines and points with automated, high productivity elevating toolsCreate an earthworks model for gradingCreate a drill plan or tunnel modelUse advanced surface modeling and editing tools for site projectsImport raster image files in many formats or Adobe PDF vector filesRapidly extract line work data from Adobe PDF vector files
Site Takeoff
Prepare earthworks and construction material quantity takeoffs quickly with expanded detail and sharper accuracy — helping you win more business. Site takeoff is available in three different modules with varying levels of functionality to suit all your needs.
Takeoff full-featured takeoff applicationTakeoff Intermediate areas, lengths and counts of materials, including finished grades and subgradesTakeoff Basic areas, lengths and counts
Use Business Center HCE for site takeoff to:
Create a materials and site improvements libraryPerform heads up digitizing from raster images or digitize from paper plansView multiple images with edge matching functionalityAssign site improvements, topsoil stripping and replacement areasUse drillhole data to build subsurface strata models and associated volumesAccount for overexcavation and create of Areas of InterestCreate takeoff reports that include all material volumes lengths and counts, and cost informationBalance site earthworksEstimate drilling and piling costsDefine haul zones, haul roads and hauling costsCompute borrow and waste requirementsAssign haul and material costs for earthworks biddingCompute mass haul for the siteImport raster image files in many formats or Adobe PDF vector filesRapidly extract line work data from Adobe PDF vector files
Road Takeoff
Business Center HCE for road takeoff gives you the ability to convert digital CAD cross-sections, rapidly extract cross-section information from Adobe PDF vector files and quickly see locations and quantities of materials. Save time, reduce rework and increase bidding accuracy with road takeoff from Business Center — HCE.
Digitize cross-section drawings from a raster image or a vector PDF fileConvert cross-sections into a 3D model automaticallyStore cross-section objects in association with an alignment objectMap original ground, finished design and multiple material layers (subgrades) to stored cross-sections distinguished by layerEasily extract required surface from complex CAD cross-sectionsGenerate average end area earthwork reportsImport raster image files in many formats or Adobe PDF vector filesRapidly extract line work data from Adobe PDF vector filesPerform comprehensive mass haul analysisFind the best borrow and waste sites to use for the lowest costSee graphical representations and geographic location of borrow pits, waste sites and haul roadsPlace barriers to mass haul along the alignment and optimize to haul around barriersAssign import or export locations with cost analysis and volumesDefine multiple haul ranges and balance haul at stationsCreate mass haul diagrams with multiple charts to see mass haul and instantaneous cuts and fills in relation to the design profileEnter multiple tunnels on a single alignment with multiple layers for each tunnelExpand tunnel design for drilling and blastingBuild a tunnel model and export to SCS900Create a tunnel surface model from point cloud dataMarine Applications
Marine Construction
Trimble’s Business Center — HCE office software is ideal for many marine applications including:
Hydrographic surveyingDredging surveys and volumesLarge multi-beam data set managementMarine and land construction design
Be more profitable, work more efficiently and reduce rework with Business Center HCE.
Manage marine point cloud data to check for errors in the data setView models in 3D to check validity of marine and land topographyImport data from third-party marine acquisition packagesMerge terrestrial and hydrographic data to manage the surf zonePlot color coded waterway bed contours and cross sectionsInput simple or complex channel designsEvaluate different channel or breakwater alignments to quickly find the ideal designDetermine volumes prior to dredging and then report progress volumesUse positive depths or positive elevationsAdd optional modules as work tasks evolve
Business Center HCE Hardware Requirements
Business Center HCE has the same system requirements as other state-of-the-art CAD systems. Although it will run on many minimum category systems with small data files, performance will quickly become unacceptable as the amount of data increases.
