Case Study: Franklin County achieves 23% lower road design costs with Softree Optimal

Franklin County uses Softree Optimal to significantly reduce design time

Franklin County faced the challenge of redesigning two miles of road for a higher speed limit while controlling costs and minimizing environmental impact. They partnered with Softree Technical Systems and utilized its Softree Optimal software to find the most efficient vertical alignment.

Softree Technical Systems implemented its optimization software, which rapidly generated a design that met all engineering constraints. The solution designed by Softree Optimal resulted in a total cost reduction of 23.3%, saving over $120,000 on earthwork and hauling. This also significantly reduced the volume of earth moved, lessening the project's environmental footprint.
