SW Road

SW Road emerges as a pioneering software solution in the realm of road design and engineering, offering an unmatched blend of efficiency, power, and precision, coupled with an intuitive learning curve. This advanced software package stands out for its capability to deliver precise road design outputs, streamlining the design process by enabling users to work on cross-sections, profiles, and final alignment designs simultaneously on a single screen. This integrated approach not only optimizes workflow but also significantly enhances productivity by providing immediate access to all critical design aspects.

One of the remarkable features of SW ROAD is its automated quantity calculation, which directly integrates with data output functionalities to produce ready-to-print Excel format reports. This feature is a boon for engineers and project managers alike, ensuring that detailed, accurate material and cost estimations are readily available, facilitating smooth project execution and budget management. Developed initially in 1993 by WELINK Consultants and later adopted and continuously enhanced by SOFTWEL since 2000, SW ROAD has a long-standing reputation for excellence in road design. Its application spans numerous significant projects in Nepal, including those funded by the ADB, World Bank, Indian Exim Bank, and SDC, showcasing its versatility and reliability across various scales and complexities of road development projects.

The latest iteration, SW ROAD V2, represents a substantial leap forward from its 2010 predecessor, incorporating multicore parallel processing for faster computation speeds, enhanced graphics, and capabilities for designing multilane roads with multi-alignment options. Additional features such as handling of background imageries, 3D viewing, road animation, and detailed cost estimation tools further underscore its position as a comprehensive road design software. Its self-updating mechanism ensures that users always have access to the latest features and improvements, making SW ROAD V2 an essential tool for over 1000 clients in Nepal and internationally, seeking to streamline their road design and construction projects.
