Project Overview

Complete geometric design of a rural highway corridor. This comprehensive academic project covered horizontal/vertical alignment and mass haul analysis.

Key Challenges & Solutions

Geometric Alignment: Designed alignments (curves, superelevation, gradients) complying with safety standards.

Mass Haul Analysis: Calculated earthwork volumes (cut and fill) and developed Mass Diagrams to optimize material transport and minimize costs.

Drainage: Designed superficial drainage systems to manage stormwater runoff.
