PDS Professional Design System from ECL provides a comprehensive and yet scalable suite
of software for the complete range of services offered by infrastructure design professionals.
True model based 3-D design ensures that PDS effectively addresses the design of major
highways, roads, permanent and light rail, pavement rehabilitation, pipelines, airports, ports,
residential and commercial developments.

PDS is CAD with design. PDS string based design combined with object technology offers flexible
and advanced design techniques to achieve the best of both worlds, the ease of the use and
familiarity of AutoCAD (even in the standalone Windows version) and the flexibility required
by today's mix of workload from new design to improvement works.

PDS is the only tried and tested civil engineering software available that is object based.
Intelligent relationships are created between the various components to ensure that design
changes are dynamically updated. Genuine parent/child relationships are established so that
a change affecting the master alignment, for example, is reflected in dependent features such
as channels, kerb up stands, verges and batters.

Close development relationships with Autodesk Ltd and Micro Drainage Ltd ensure PDS products
are fully integrated with AutoCAD and WinDes to provide a single project database ensuring
accuracy and consistency throughout all aspects of the design.
