Case Study: MPE Engineering achieves faster, under-budget road design with Softree Technical Systems' Softree Optimal

MPE Engineering Moves Project Ahead for City of Lethbridge using Softree Optimal

MPE Engineering faced a significant challenge while working on the 43rd Street Paving project for the City of Lethbridge. The project had strict budget limitations and a rushed schedule, compounded by a very limited right-of-way and tight geometric constraints. The political pressure to complete the work quickly made it essential to find an efficient solution; otherwise, the project risked being shelved for a year.

To overcome these hurdles, MPE Engineering used Softree Optimal from Softree Technical Systems. The software drastically reduced their preliminary design time by an estimated 80%, allowing them to quickly run feasibility checks and develop the most cost-effective design. This efficient workflow, which integrated with their existing software, ensured all construction bids came in under budget, directly saving the project from being delayed and getting it done fast and under budget.
