Planning of overhead line systems

"The OLAcad structural analysis module for masts provides us with the calculation requirements for the OLA masts, such as all acting forces as well as their attack heights and their directions of attack. We use the OLAcad structural analysis module foundation statics to calculate the OLA mast foundations. This module provides the calculation prerequisites as well as the resulting forces and moments in the x, y and z directions at the clamping point of the mast in the foundation. The extensive material libraries and the direct graphical display of calculated results speed up our planning processes considerably. The intuitive usability and high level of accuracy provide optimum support for our engineers."

"In a customized expert training session, we can clarify all open questions about using OLAcad in a Q&A session. This overcomes any difficulties and ensures that OLAcad can continue to be used smoothly. The experts at SIGNON support us with the utmost commitment."

"OLAcad has become an indispensable planning tool for us when it comes to complex planning services. The software covers a comprehensive EBS-compliant spectrum for creating plans in all planning phases. The creation of tables, such as chainage and railroad power line tables, can be created in a very short time thanks to exports."

"The IFC export is extremely helpful for us because it provides a structured and standardized representation of our overhead line system. This means that everyone involved in the project - from engineers and architects to building contractors - can easily access the same, up-to-date data. This significantly improves coordination and the exchange of information and minimizes errors that could arise from misunderstandings. This way, we can ensure that everyone is on the same page."

"With the interactive track, we can not only access our own 2D planning, but also insert a 3D track by importing routing data. This can be helpful for automatically assigning data such as kilometers and height to masts."

"OLAcad is a great help to our company in the introduction of BIM in railroad construction thanks to its simple and efficient use. In particular, the software makes it easy to implement short-term changes quickly and reliably."

"By deriving all OLA planning plans from one file, inconsistencies in the planning documents can be reduced. In addition, the logical linking of construction phases also virtually eliminates contradictions in the construction phases. The planner's understanding of the structure of overhead line systems can be improved with the help of the 3D view in OLAcad."
