Welcome to the Location and Design Website
September 9, 2004
VDOT is made up of many design disciplines. At present each division has
their own working sub-directory in FALCON, i.e. L&D – d 11111,
Survey – s11111, Environmental – e11111. No division can write
to another ones file. However in GEOPAK we will all share one file
on the Server. That file is called a .gpk file. It is imperative that we
differentiate each division so that Traffic does not overwrite Right of
Way or L&D does not overwrite Survey etc.
In GEOPAK we use COGO (coordinate
geometry) for design. Geometry uses points. These points will have
to be numbered. Each numbered point must be distinguished by the prefix of
each division.
Also each division’s point number will be 1 - 9999, i.e. d500 will be
the numbered points for L&D., etc.
