Christopher Henao Brings OpenRoads 3D Corridor Modeling to Milhouse University

Milhouse University is now offering OpenRoads 3D Corridor Modeling training, taught by our own, Christopher Henao. OpenRoads 3D Corridor Modeling is an emerging software that is becoming increasingly prevalent in the transportation sector.

A reliable and safe transportation infrastructure is critical to our modern society. At Milhouse, our transportation team focuses on designing cost-effective, reliable, and maintainable transportation systems. We are committed to providing our engineers and CAD technicians with the most current and cutting-edge software programs. As technologies advance, we advance, so that we are able to deliver on our promise of constant quality and provide superior engineering solutions.

Corridor modeling is an intelligent and dynamic tool to bring designs from 2D to 3D. A 3D model creates an accurate depiction of what a project will look like, making designs easier for users to manipulate and clients without a technical background to understand. It is especially crucial for young engineers to learn this tool in order to visually assess the quality of their designs before submission.

During the Milhouse University training sessions, engineers and CAD technicians learn tools such as template creation, corridor creation and manipulation, creation of cross sections and computing earthwork, as well as parking lot pad and site grading design. One session attendee said:

“I learned how to create 3D models for roadway corridors that are adaptable to changing conditions. That will be a game-changer in being able to design and visualize roadway projects. I have enjoyed being able to follow along and have an onscreen example for every step of the way.”

The training session has been mutually beneficial to both teacher and student. Chris Henao says, “I feel it has been a beneficial experience for myself as well as the attendees and look to continue it for as long as we still have new content to cover.”
