AGTEK Development Company, part of Hexagon, has introduced its standalone software Materials SA and Underground SA and the release of the Gradework software suite for 2023. Ideal for specialty utility and paving contractors, the new features will simplify takeoff and improve production control of construction materials, utility installation and earthmoving projects.
The latest update enables contractors to create fast and accurate earthwork, material and utility takeoffs from PDF or CAD data with ease using intuitive tools that minimize manual data entry and provide extensive value-engineering capabilities. Measure lengths, areas and counts, and extend them into cubic yards of concrete, tons of asphalt, lengths of guard rail, counts of catch basins and any other cost item. The software also allows end-users to model storm, sewer, water and other utilities, extracting trench and pipe details. Extensive value-engineering and scenario-analysis capabilities ensure earthwork quantities are optimized.
