They were worried about having that kind of issue in approaching the truck scale." "It was also about offsetting the weigh scale. "They were really more worried about the trucks tipping and being at a weird angle," says Dubal. With WB-67 semi-trailer trucks coming and going throughout the day, it was up to Brian and his team to ensure safe operations. Prior to moving in, one of their main concerns was the site grading around the weigh scale. J+D Refrigeration moved into their new warehouse facility with approximately 150,000 square feet with 13 loading dock doors and a weigh scale on the premises. Vehicle path simulations were automatically updated based on any changes made to a site design. With the advanced design capabilities of AutoTURN Pro, vehicle simulations are now linked directly to the CAD geometry, including Civil 3D alignments. Now clients like VLMK Consulting Engineers have adopted AutoTURN Pro, companies across the engineering spectrum are harnessing the computational power of designing in a 3D environment. Once we got into the design, we realized we needed to check out some of the clients' concerns and that's when we got AutoTURN Pro." AutoTURN was first developed in 1991 and set the standard for CAD software of its kind. "There were some other developer firms involved and we sold ourselves pretty well that we could do the job. "The local authorities told them they would have to move as Portland was building their new light rail transit system right through their existing site." "We got involved pretty early on when they realized that they were going to be 'dislocated'," says Brian Dubal, one of the senior engineers at VLMK. They called on VLMK Consulting Engineers in Portland to help them with the transition. They found a location they liked in Clackamas County, but before they could move in, they had to know whether their fleet of refrigerated trucks could maneuver around the site. J+D Refrigeration was one of the businesses forced to find a new location as their old location was appropriated to make way for part of the tracks and surrounding infrastructure. With the new Milwaukie Light Rail Project scheduled for completion in Oregon's biggest city, some businesses had to move to new locations across the city. But what if the core of your business IS trucks and you didn't have a choice about moving? That's exactly what happened to Portland's J+D Refrigeration. Whether it's moving across town or across the country, there are always boxes to pack and trucks to fill. Transportation - Metrorail / Airways / Waterways.
