Dry Utility

Model buried and above-ground dry utilities — medium and low voltage, street lighting, telecom and gas — as real Civil 3D objects, built from a route, a ground surface and the values you enter. It is a BIM modelling tool: it makes no electrical, telecom or gas engineering calculation of its own.

The workflow

Five steps, from your values to a new drawing

Choose the classification and the installation method in the header; each configuration keeps its own values.

Parameters

Every value is yours — there are no hidden defaults. A blank required value is marked in red before you can continue.

Data

Upload the route (DXF or CSV) and the ground surface (LandXML, DXF or CSV points). Tick the runs you want designed together.

Parts

Pick the catalogue part. Create makes a project parts list in the new drawing with the exact part — the stock catalogues are never changed.

Preview

Checks, a typical section, plan and profile, any warnings to acknowledge, and the quantities.

Create

EGS IS builds a new drawing from the Civil 3D metric template, headlessly. It is written only if every step and its read-back pass.

One tool, five installation methods

Duct Bank — conduits in rows and columns, usually in concrete, as a native Pipe Network with the envelope as a 3D solid, plus any chambers you place.
Individual Conduit — conduits with no concrete envelope, as a native Pipe Network.
Direct Burial — cables laid straight in the trench: a 3D solid of the entered diameter with its centreline as a 3D polyline, for the sizes the Civil 3D catalogues do not carry.
Buried and Above-Ground Pipeline (gas) — a native Pressure Network with catalogue bends and tees; above ground adds support solids.

Real objects, not a schematic

Every route follows the ground surface you upload — elevations are never extrapolated beyond its extent.
Chambers can be placed anywhere along a run, as native parametric structures.
Export BOQ writes an Excel workbook and a CSV of quantities, from Preview or from the finished result.
Save Template / Load from Template keeps a set of values for the next route.
