For professionals involved in septic system design and installation, accuracy and efficiency are paramount. Traverse PC offers a comprehensive suite of tools specifically tailored to streamline your workflow, from initial site assessment to final plan generation. Leveraging its powerful surveying and CAD capabilities, TPC ensures precision in every stage of the septic design process.

One of the key advantages of TPC for septic design lies in its flexible data input options. You can define crucial areas for the septic system – including the tank location, drain field, and reserve areas – using a variety of methods. Whether you’re collecting data with high-precision GPS equipment, inputting traditional bearing and distance measurements from a survey, or utilizing total station data for detailed site mapping, TPC seamlessly integrates your field data into a cohesive project. This flexibility ensures compatibility with your existing equipment and workflows.

Once your site data is in TPC, the software’s intelligent features significantly simplify the design process. You can automatically create required buffers and setbacks around critical components of the septic system, ensuring compliance with local regulations and environmental guidelines. This automation eliminates the manual calculation and drafting of these zones, saving valuable time and reducing the potential for errors.

Accurate dimensioning and labeling are essential for clear and unambiguous septic system plans. TPC can automatically dimension and label property boundaries, system components, and calculated areas. This feature ensures that your plans are easy to understand for regulatory agencies, contractors, and homeowners alike. Consistent and accurate labeling reduces the risk of misinterpretation and facilitates a smoother approval and installation process.

TPC comes equipped with an extensive library of pre-loaded line types, symbols specifically relevant to site plans and environmental features, a variety of fonts for clear annotation, and customizable hatch patterns to delineate different areas within your design. Furthermore, the software allows you to create your own custom symbols and line types to meet the specific requirements of your projects or local standards, providing a high degree of customization and flexibility in your plan presentation.

Generating professional and shareable plans is crucial. TPC offers seamless export capabilities to a variety of widely used formats, including PDF for easy sharing and printing, PNG for image integration, CAD (DWG/DXF) for collaboration with other design professionals, and GIS formats for integration with geospatial analysis and mapping platforms. This ensures that your septic system designs can be easily communicated and utilized across different software environments.

To further enhance efficiency in the field, TPC can be seamlessly combined with Emlid GNSS receivers. This integration allows for rapid and accurate data collection for site assessments and layout, potentially cutting your field time in half. By directly importing high-precision GNSS data into TPC, you can streamline the initial stages of your septic design projects and ensure a strong foundation for your planning.

TPC offers a powerful and integrated solution for septic system designers. Its ability to handle various data input methods, automate crucial design elements like buffers and setbacks, provide comprehensive dimensioning and labeling tools, offer extensive customization options, and seamlessly integrate with field equipment makes it an indispensable tool for optimizing your septic design workflows and ensuring accurate and compliant plans.
