Typically, composite topping slabs are placed over the grouted hollow‐core precast slabs. Ultimately, this means greater freedom in design and architecture during and after construction as well as savings in material costs.

In the long established design-bid-build method of construction project delivery, a project is entirely designed before being built.
In addition to estimating, ParsCo Construction provides design decisions, evaluations, studies, value engineering, value analysis, scheduling, constructability reviews, and more.
Design costs, permitting, land acquisition, and life-cycle costs are also evaluated.
The design-bid-build process facilitates a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for the project.

Construction lines (also known as xlines) are temporary linework entities that can be used as references when creating and positioning other objects or linework.
For example, you can use construction lines to prepare multiple views of the same item, or create temporary intersections to serve as object snaps.
Construction lines are either circles or straight lines that extend to infinity in both directions. In either case, they do not change the total area of the drawing and have no effect on zooming or viewports.
You can move, rotate, copy, or delete construction lines just like other objects.

Pavement engineering is a branch of civil engineering that uses engineering techniques to design and maintain flexible (asphalt) and rigid (concrete) pavements.
This includes streets and highways and involves knowledge of soils, hydraulics, and material properties. Pavement engineering involves new construction as well as rehabilitation and maintenance of existing pavements.
Maintenance often involves using engineering judgment to make maintenance repairs with the highest long-term benefit and lowest cost.
The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is an example of an engineering approach applied to existing pavements. The PCI was developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
Another example is the use of a falling weight deflectometer (FWD) to non-destructively test existing pavements. Calculation of pavement layer strengths can be performed from the resulting deflection data. The two methods – empirical or mechanistic is used to determine pavement layer thicknesses.
