AutoCAD Civil 3D for Infrastructure Design and Engineering |Smart

Overview

Why Attend

The AutoCAD Civil 3D for Infrastructure Design and Engineering Projects Training Course develops practical skills in AutoCAD Civil 3D for professionals involved in infrastructure planning, design, documentation, and engineering project delivery. The programme covers CAD, civil engineering design, project setup, surfaces, alignments, profiles, corridors, grading, pipe networks, quantities, and construction documentation. Participants learn how to create accurate digital infrastructure models and produce coordinated engineering drawings for civil construction projects.

under the Construction and Civil Engineering Training course specialization and Engineering maintenance and operation category, the course focuses on practical applications of AutoCAD Civil 3D in infrastructure development. It covers terrain modelling, road design, alignments, profiles, corridor modelling, grading, drainage networks, and drafting workflows. Participants develop the ability to transform survey and engineering data into coordinated designs, analyze terrain conditions, produce construction-ready drawings, and improve design efficiency through structured CAD-based workflows.
