Blackfish Ltd - Customer Case Study

Blackfish Ltd, a customer of 12d Solutions, faced the unique challenge of designing ski trails for a field expansion, a task with complexities beyond standard road design. Unlike roads, the trails required varying widths, cross-falls, and grades along their entire length, all while needing to balance cut and fill volumes and create presentation plans.

The team utilized 12d Solutions' 12d Model software to adapt its road design tools for this purpose. They employed Super Alignments and the Apply Many templates function to craft the trails, using various TIN and string modifiers to model them in precise strips. The solution successfully allowed them to analyze slopes to meet critical criteria, achieve balanced earthworks, and produce the necessary presentation plans and 3D views for the client.
