Full program description
Bundle Overview
By purchasing this bundle, you will be enrolled in all four courses of the Anatomy of a Plan Set series. Using the Everhart Road rehabilitation project in Corpus Christi, Texas as a single case study throughout, this series takes you through the complete anatomy of a 265-sheet heavy civil plan set, from initial navigation and foundational elements, through existing topography and demolition, into the construction drawings governing streets, storm water, and utilities, and finally the sections that govern the finished roadway surface: striping, traffic signals, construction sequencing, and standards and details. Taught from the perspective of an experienced survey manager, this series bridges classroom learning and real-world field conditions and builds practical skills for reading a plan set cover to cover, from a survey manager's first look at a new project to the final stripe painted on a finished street.
