TunnelCAD by IQSoft is a specialized CAD and design solution for planning, modeling, and documenting tunnels and underground structures. Built for civil and geotechnical teams, it streamlines the entire workflow—from early feasibility and alignment studies to detailed design, coordination, and construction deliverables. With a blend of precise 2D drafting, intelligent 3D modeling, and robust data management, TunnelCAD helps reduce rework, improve coordination, and accelerate project timelines.
Key capabilities:
- Alignment and geometry: Create and edit horizontal and vertical alignments, spirals, and clearances with rules-based checks.
- Parametric tunnel modeling: Generate customizable tunnel templates (circular, horseshoe, segmental) with linings, inverts, niches, and portals.
- Geotechnical data integration: Reference borehole logs, strata, and ground classes to inform design decisions and support selection.
- Excavation and support design: Plan staging and configure supports such as rock bolts, shotcrete, ribs, and segment rings.
- Sections, profiles, and quantities: Automate cross-sections, longitudinal profiles, annotations, and material takeoffs.
- MEP and utility coordination: Check envelopes and potential clashes to keep ventilation, drainage, and cable systems aligned with the civil model.
- BIM-friendly workflows: Attach attributes, organize classifications, and exchange models using common open formats.
- Interoperability: Import and export standard CAD, survey, and GIS formats to fit into existing project ecosystems.
- Visualization and review: Explore real-time 3D views, drive-throughs, and staged construction sequences for stakeholder communication.
- Documentation and reporting: Produce drawing sets, bills of quantities, and customizable reports with consistent standards.
Who it’s for:
- Tunnel and civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, BIM coordinators, contractors, and survey teams working on road, rail, transit, utility, and mining projects.
With a focus on precision, coordination, and constructability, TunnelCAD by IQSoft provides the tools you need to deliver safer designs, clearer documentation, and more predictable outcomes.
