๐ CivilEng: QGIS Tools for Civil Engineering Automation
CivilEng is a powerful QGIS provider designed to automate early-stage civil engineering workflows. It brings Reservoir modeling, Earthworks simulation, and Linear Referencing (LRS) directly into QGIS โ enabling faster, more accurate, and more visual project design.
Built by Iรฑigo Marin, CivilEng helps engineers, planners, and GIS professionals streamline terrain analysis and conceptual design.
Core Capabilities Include:
๐๏ธ Reservoir Modeling
Generate a modified terrain DEM and flooded-area depth raster from:
โ๏ธ Existing DEM
โ๏ธ Dam crest axis
โ๏ธ Top-of-dam level
โ๏ธ Water depth
โ๏ธ Slope parameters
โ๏ธ A reference point upstream
Perfect for quickly testing reservoir layout scenarios before detailed hydraulic modeling.
โฐ๏ธ Earthworks Simulation
Create a modified DEM showing cut & fill earthworks using:
โ๏ธ Terrain DEM
โ๏ธ Platform layout
โ๏ธ Base elevation
โ๏ธ Cut/fill slopes
Ideal for road design, construction platforms, site preparation, and grading plans.
๐ Linear Referencing (LRS)
Automatically generate linear referencing marks every 25 m and 100 m along a polyline โ useful for roads, pipelines, utility lines, and corridor mapping.
Applications:
๐น Water resources & dam design
๐น Road & corridor planning
๐น Construction site grading
๐น Infrastructure feasibility studies
๐น Terrain modification simulations
