TBC Tip #18 | CREATING A ROAD CORRIDOR

 

A road corridor corresponds to an alignment, both horizontal and vertical, whose layout responds to a requirement or a need and specific design criteria. It also has one or different typical cross-sections, whose shape depends on the analyses carried out by engineering according to the construction method, geomechanics or other specific criterion. In this TBC Tip, we will work with specific elements of an engineering project for construction, where TBC allows comparing this design with topographic control information from the field.
