Civil Engineering Software Programs That Meet Your Needs

Carlson Technology Solutions offers a comprehensive suite of desktop solutions for land development professionals working on data collection, surveying, engineering design, and drafting. You can rent or purchase our civil engineering software programs that are tailored to your project's needs. Contact us for more information about our technology.

Carlson Civil Suite

The Ultimate Civil Package
Get a reasonably priced, full-featured land development CAD and free support with the Carlson Civil Suite—a powerful bundle made up of Carlson Survey (see Carlson Civil, Carlson Hydrology, and Carlson GIS). These four civil engineering-related modular programs work together to provide the ultimate civil package, thus increasing productivity while significantly improving the design.

It includes:

Carlson Civil: The "Civil" Choice
Carlson Civil is the most automated and user-friendly civil engineering design solution available today. It also performs dynamic updating without the use of a single custom object. What might take days with other civil engineering software programs takes hours, if not minutes, with the powerful, user-friendly Carlson Civil.
Carlson Survey: Surveyors' #1 Software Choice
Get the complete tool kit, which includes everything from network least squares to surface modeling that works seamlessly between the office and the field. You can create GIS links, exchange Esri® data, and establish a company-wide design style.

Carlson Hydrology

Complete Hydrologic and Hydraulic Solution
Carlson Hydrology is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-master hydrology automation solution that works in a CAD environment of polylines, text, and layers. Flow calculations and drainage design are directly influenced by the full 3D road and lot design.

Carlson GIS: Put Your Designs on the Map

Carlson GIS is a true GIS "Swiss Army Knife" for surveyors and engineers, with tools for:
  • Data Capture and Linking
  • Data Labeling
  • Import or Export of .shp Files
  • Polygon Topology Creation and Analysis
  • And More
Users can increase the quality of their designs' geographic location by using the software's routines for managing aerial images.

Carlson Software's Survey Suite

Software programs include:
  • Carlson Survey: Surveyors' #1 Software Choice
  • Carlson GIS: Put Your Designs on the Map
  • Carlson Civil: The "Civil" Choice

Carlson CADnet

Create CAD From PDF, BIM, and More
Carlson CADnet allows users to generate CAD from non-CAD documents such as PDFs, raster images, and paper plans. With CADnet's built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR), users can also create CAD text from raster images.

Carlson Takeoff Suite

Carlson Takeoff Suite is a cut-and-fill volumes and data preparation (for layout or machine control) solution that can estimate jobs using paper plan digitizing, PDFs, or electronic CAD files. It comes in two different versions:
  • Takeoff OEM (Comes With Autocad Engine Built-In)
  • Takeoff Suite, Comprised of Carlson Construction, CADnet, Trench, and Geotech

Carlson Trench for Trench Quantities and Modeling

Carlson Trench makes calculations for installing pipes, sewers, and utility lines. The software determines the trench cut volume, backfill volume (excluding pipe size), and the linear footage of the pipe broken down by pipe material, size, and depth.

Carlson Construction for Estimating and 3D Modeling

Carlson Construction is a 3D surface modeling and cut-and-fill takeoff software solution designed for site and road construction from CAD files. It offers cutting-edge 3D and section viewing tools for converting 2D designs into 3D model files.

Carlson GeoTech—Know Your Strata

Carlson GeoTech, cut-designed for geo-technicians, civil engineers, and construction professionals, allows them to import borehole data for analyzing subsurface conditions and materials. It models all core samples and generates a detailed, easy-to-read report for drill logs, cross-sections, and plan view.
This information is fully connected with Carlson Civil to determine site stability and suitability, and also Carlson Construction to estimate stratum takeoff accurately.
