A new module from Carlson Software, Carlson Trench is for calculations related to installing pipes, sewers, or utility lines. The software calculates the volume of the trench cut, the volume of back fill (excluding the pipe size), and the linear footage of pipe broken down by the pipe material, size, and/or depth.

Core capabilities in Carlson Trench include:

• Calculates trench excavation and back fill quantities
• Creates trench network of structures and pipe lines
• Draws trench network in plan view, profile and 3D
• Produces Trench Reports including Manhole Depth Summary, Pipe Length By Size, Stations Depth Summary, Structure Details, etc.
• Built on AutoCAD and IntelliCAD
