EQUIPMENTS


The highly educated employees of RODEN Engineering Office KFT. apply up to date technology such as computer aid design, plotters and documentation techniques using magnetic data mediums with support of necessary hardware and software resources.
The design process is completely digitized (three dimensional model) from the survey to the last phase of documentation.

RODEN Engineering Office KFT. actively takes part in the construction projects of establishments built based on its drawings such as approval processes, project management, and geodetic tasks. Our Engineering office's philosophy is to complete the engineering task using effective small teams with highly educated, problem oriented expert engineers (instead of using larger design groups with harder co-ordination) that leads to the most efficient, correct, and responsible preparation needed for establishment design. Involvement of special experts and complex knowledge of supervising engineers is also essential.
Keeping responsibility as key priority, the leading designers have to get in-depth knowledge of the tasks and provide guidance to the colleagues regarding detailed solutions.
In order to ensure the above, extension of professional, technological and computer knowledge, education of people, existence and continuous development of supervising expertise and necessary resources, as well as continuous involvement in solving the new engineering challenges are essential.

Our office is under continuous improvement. RODEN Engineering Office KFT. is one of the well equipped offices. Beyond computerized support, up to date equipments support activities like geodetic surveys, site tours, planning, data transfers, and documentation.

The Information technology background of the engineering office is excellent. Beyond ordinary office software (Office XP, Windows XP) our engineers work with general and special design software.
We use Auto CADas general design software, our company has more than 25 licences, and 8 of them include Civil 3D extensions.
Due to the activity of our company we use Bentley softwareMX v.2.6.3. (Moss) for road design (12 licences), besides this we also useMicroPISTE, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and the German originatedCARD/1 System v.8.0. as special design software.

  

Currently we have 12 (6 individual and 6 network) licenses of MX Professional (MOSS), supplemented with 4 MXROAD (extra road designer) and 4 MXRenew (cover reconstruction) modules.

The advantages of using this software are: accuracy, easy to modify, analysis, flexibility, efficiency, as well as they ease and speed up the decision making process. The software enables 3D modelling in several layers, documentation and query of immediate sections and surfaces.

A computer network is also available that provides appropriate background of CAD applications. The 1 Gbit network consists of more redundant and virtual servers with safety system and Core2 Duo, Core2 Quad and Corel7design computers.

                        

The network is supplemented by CD and DVD recorders, A1 and A3 digitizers, A0+ scanners, A3-A4 sheet readers, HP inkjet A0+ and A1 colour plotters (600-2400dpi), A0+ OCE laser and inkjet plotters, high power scanners, 1 Miro Studio 7 digitizer, colour A3 printers, black and white laser printers, camera, digitizer, player, recorder, editing program, projector, and Core2 Duo Notebooks.

                        


Geodetic works are supported by land rovers, transportation vehicles, passenger vehicles, Trimble Total measuring stations, Trimble 4600 LS RTK GPS satellite receivers, CB radios, Trimble R7-R8 GPS RTK receivers, Trimble DiNi 12T digital builder's levels.


















We have purchased a Trimble GX3 laser scanner in 2006 that is capable for spatial 3 dimensional survey, even with accuracy of 1cm.



The spatial scanner (3D scanner) determines 3 dimensional points of the surface of the object without prism, using laser technology (using digital camera). The density of the points can be determined by setting the resolution. The quality can reach the quality of a photo! The result is a point cloud consisting of 3D points that is a detailed model of the object even with real colours that can be a perfect basis of the design! This level of details is not possible to produce with traditional equipments.
The accuracy of the equipment is below 1cm in 100-150 ms, therefore a very accurate and detailed (field) model can be produced as a result of the survey. It is also possible to produce cubic volume calculations based on contour drawings and volume surveys, as well as various spatial analyses. The use of the equipment makes us possible to produce surveys of objects and surfaces that could not be or would be very difficult to measure with traditional equipments.
