🛣️ Road Survey

0/5 steps

STEP 1

Define Centerline

STEP 1 — DEFINE CENTERLINE
Establish the road centreline.

In METARDU:
→ Create points along proposed road
→ These define the centerline alignment

Or:
• Pick up from CAD design
• Stake from existing control

🔗Open METARDU Tool → Create Project

STEP 2

Create Alignment

STEP 2 — CREATE ALIGNMENT
Build the road alignment in METARDU.

In METARDU:
→ Go to Profiles in your project
→ Create new alignment
→ Select centerline points in order

Chainage will be computed automatically.

STEP 3

Profile Observations

STEP 3 — TAKE PROFILE OBSERVATIONS
Collect elevation along centerline.

At each chainage station:
1. Set up level or total station
2. Take centerline elevation
3. Take left offset + elevation
4. Take right offset + elevation

Record systematically.

🔗Open METARDU Tool → Create Project

STEP 4

Enter Cross Sections

STEP 4 — ENTER IN METARDU
Input cross-section data.

In METARDU Profiles:
→ Select chainage station
→ Add left offset + elevation
→ Add center elevation
→ Add right offset + elevation

Repeat for all stations.

🔗Open METARDU Tool → Create Project

STEP 5

Generate Outputs

STEP 5 — GENERATE PROFILE
Create longitudinal profile and sections.

In METARDU:
→ View Longitudinal Profile
→ Export profile as image

For design:
• Export to CAD or Civil 3D
• Calculate cut/fill volumes
• Generate design grades
