Key. TERRA-FIRMA Ltd. Established 1998 Background as part of the Key Systems Group Bricsys Partners from 2009 Based in Warwickshire with clients throughout the UK Successful policy of evolving software to meet user requirements and ease of use

Key. TERRA-FIRMA Working inside Brics. CAD & Auto. CAD 2007 to 2014 platforms. Highly suitable for a broad range of Civil, Environmental, Landscape and Land Survey projects. Unsolicited endorsement from Seer Projects Ltd. in Windsor “I like KTF …. . … I can’t remember how long we have used it for now but I am sure our first version was 4. 0 - I have used it continuously. ”

KTF users City, County and District Councils. Leading Civil and Environmental Consultants including Arup, Atkins, Peter Brett, AECOM, Jacobs, Mott Mac. Donald, RPS and SLR. Developers, Water and Port Authorities, plus many Land Surveying and Landscape companies consolidate a strong established user base.

KTF is used for : Residential and Industrial Estate design New Road schemes and improvements General earthworks and volume calculations Urban Road design, Regeneration and Maintenance Landfill, Quarrying and Reclamation Car park and Sports pitch design River surveys and simple flood modelling Embankment calculations and bund design Zones of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV) Water and gas pipelines Pond design and other water related applications Airport related projects including approach surveys Land Survey work of all shapes and sizes

Most users have mainstream KTF including modelling and design : Base Ground Modelling Design Land Survey Translators “Add on” modules for : Survey observation input Two way Win. Des translator Rivers ZTV

Land Survey Direct input from Dataloggers, Total Stations and GPS. Automated 3 D wire frame survey drawing using MX type feature codes.

Sections

Ground modelling Models created directly from 3 D drawing entities or large. xyz files. 3 D Polylines recognised as break lines. Existing site or design represented as a series of triangles.

From 3 D CAD drawing…

. . . to ground model in seconds

Rapid contouring and annotation

3 D Grids (for viewing and rendering) Slope direction and gradient at any location Average level calculation for slab levels etc. Landfill settlement calculation Drape 2 D drawing entities Interpolated level grid Interpolated levels

KTF is very strong in all aspects of sections Represent a Horizontal Alignment as a 2 D Polyline ….

Sections rapidly drawn with intelligent structure for subsequent enhancement and design functions etc.

Sections drawn at natural scale or with vertical exaggeration. Enhanced in CAD or graphics package.

Embankments are calculated from design features represented as 3 D Polylines. Volume calculations compare existing and design models to report cut and fill quantities. Easy water volume calculation. Cut and fill colour mapping (isopachytes) ….

Z value colour mapping. Superb presentation for cut and fill, hydrographic survey, coastal erosion studies and ZVI results.

Water functions Volumes (EA banding). Flood area mapping (from horizontal and sloping surfaces) Water storage and balancing Pond modelling. Bund design. 3 D views. Pipelines. River sections Landfill cell floor design.

Road Design Horizontal and Vertical Alignment designs combined by powerful 3 D String functions. Suitable for new roads, complex estate road layouts, junctions, widening, improvements and roundabouts. Suitable for urban renewal and regeneration projects. Not just Road Design but a powerful and flexible set of tools for 3 D Site Design.

Horizontal Alignment represented as 2 D Polyline. Designing on a long section, tools exist to help with vertical curves, K values and optimisation to represent the Vertical Alignment as a 2 D Polyline.

The Master String combines Horizontal and Vertical Alignments Standard or complex string definitions (including non parallel channel geometry and super-elevation). Highly flexible individual String design functions. 3 D Polylines, sections and report outputs. “Cruise along the road” viewer.

New and very powerful Design on Cross Sections added June 2013

Special projects that have relied on Key. TERRA-FIRMA include the rock revetment scheme at Easington in East Yorkshire to protect the Gas Terminal and the unique dual guided bus lanes at Leeds.

KTF is excellent for sports pitch and car park design plus general site development. Combining the Base module, Ground Modelling and Design functions in a variety of sequences provides the most powerful and flexible solution.

ZTV Zones of Theoretical Visibility (aka ZVI). A powerful analysis and presentation tool to assist with visibility studies. Typically working with very large. xyz data sets including OS Land. Form Profile DTM. Single or multiple targets.

Targets may be proposed wind turbines, masts, chimneys, buildings and roads (point, linear or area). Visual barriers included in the analysis.

Results above relate the number of visible targets to user specified colours. Colour mapping from horizontal field of view analysis
