Benefits throughout the Value ChainThe Trimble Quantm Alignment Planning System provides significant benefits throughout the project value chain, from initial scoping studies through to value engineering.

Scoping Studies:

The system is of most value when used from the initial, project scoping stage, when greater flexibility can be allowed to identify the full range of corridor alternatives.

Pre-Feasibility:

At the pre-feasibility stage, the Quantm system can be used as a tool to aid decision making, determining the macro viability of the transport corridor options. The system generates multiple alignments that cluster into primary corridors, while maintaining the 3D geometric requirements and other project constraints. The outcome is a set of preferred alignments for public consultation. This reduces costs when gathering data at the next stage, by highlighting the best corridor to highlight for further analysis.

Feasibility:

Using detailed data in the preferred corridor, the system further optimizes and refines the alignment. Throughout the feasibility process new constraints can be added based on the detailed data collection and the alignment can be refined to address the social and environmental constraints.

Value Engineering:

As the construction phase approaches, the Quantm system can be used to refine the vertical geometry to reduce earthwork and other construction costs, based on an analysis of the material flow along the alignment, after introducing the project constraints to material flow.

ProVen BenefitsTrimble Quantm Professional supports road and rail planners through the complex process of selecting and generating corridors and alignments. Unique alignment optimization technology generates millions of alternative alignments and returns a range of options for review by various stakeholders. As the project progresses, different scenarios are created using the latest terrain, geological, topological, social and environmental inputs to produce revised results for further consideration and refinement.

The Quantm system has been used worldwide on hundreds of projects ranging in length from less than .6 miles (1 kilometer) to national transportation links of over 621 miles (1000 kilometers), in all types of terrain. The system has consistently enabled planners and consulting engineers to reduce project planning time, deliver improved alignments that meet environmental, heritage, urban constraints, while complying with design standards and increasing productivity.

Scoping- Quickly identify and cost preferred corridors for detailed examination using existing terrain and feature data

pre-feaSibility - Aid macro viability decision-making- Generate multiple alignments that cluster into primary corridors- Produce detailed reports for public consideration

iMProVe ProDuCtiVitYTrimble® Quantm® Professional allows planners and engineers to collaborate with various project stakeholders and reduce planning time and expense. The process helps increase productivity, and deliver improved alignments that meet environmental, heritage, urban constraints, and design standards set by each project. – all while maintaining the momentum of the project.

deliver improved Alignments

Communities globally are increasing the influence they have over where new roads and railways are created. The combination of community input and the need to avoid certain urban areas, cultural heritage zones and areas of environmental sensitivity have made the planning process extremely complex. The Quantm system allows community input to be integrated into the planning study. Community “no-go” constraints can be added in just minutes. Cost implications and alignment alternatives can be rapidly generated for review.

reduce Planning Time

Rather than addressing each constraint issue as it occurs, Quantm Professional encourages cooperation between the project planners and financial and community stakeholders from the onset. Planners can quickly investigate alignment and cost implications of numerous ‘what if’ scenarios simultaneously. As a result, planners can demonstrate they have considered all feasible alignments and substantially improve the quality of the alignment without project delay or cost increase.

Produce better reports

From governments, to environmental groups, community organizations, and project financiers, numerous groups want to know that their concerns are being addressed when creating new roads and railways. Planners and engineers can use Quantm Professional to prepare in-depth impact studies and public presentations. The software allows presentations to display the complete route or zoom-in demonstrating how an alignment impacts or avoids a particular zone or landowner, including the earthworks footprint.

The planner can also provide a process audit that tracks individual scenario investigation, consideration of alternatives and costs, and document the methods used in reaching a ‘preferred’ corridor or alignment.

High Speed rail “The studies by Quantm specialists in optimizing stretches of rail,will keep tunnel and viaduct construction to a minimum, reducing investment by 10% of the infrastructure cost.” - Ana Paula Vitorino, PortugueseState Secretary of Transport

regional and Statewide Planning “Quantm, in conjunction with EPA GISST Data, was extremely effective in preliminary corridor development during the corridor alternatives evaluation process. The large number of alternatives generated by Quantm provided extensive and consistent options throughout a large and diversestudy area.” - David Bacon - I-69/TTC Corridor Study GEC, Texas, USA

Mining Freight rail The Quantm system was commissioned for application on more than 280 kilometers (175 miles) of open-access, heavy-haulage rail infrastructure for Fortescue Metals Group in Western Australia, Quantm enabled the Fortescue team to take a quantitative and iterative approach to planning the most cost-effective and desirable alignment of the railway, taking into consideration environmental impacts and maintenance costs. With the help of the Quantm system, Fortescue was able to complete the railway in only nine months.

Small road Projects “We achieved a 13% saving on alignment construction cost even though the tightly constrained corridor limited options.” - Opus International Consultants, New Zealand

Modernizing National infrastructure “The application of the Quantm system enabled the project team to gain greater depth of information on which to make their recommendations and to present alternatives and the rationale for decisions to stakeholders and the community.” - The Third Railway Survey and Design Institute GroupCorporation (TSDI), China
