The SW ROAD was developed during 1993 by WELINK Consultants. Later it was adopted by SOFTWEL (A sister concern of WELINK) and has been upgrading and supporting it since 2000. It was extensively applied in design and drawings of many road projects in Nepal including ADB funded (TRP, RNDP, RCIP, RRRSDP, DRLIP, PPC2, PPC3), World Bank Funded Projects RSDP, Indian Exim Bank Project (RIP 1, RIP 2, and RIP 3), SDC funded DRSP Roads and many local roads and hydropower project access roads. It has more than 1000 clients in Nepal and abroad.

Present SW ROAD V2 is a significant upgrade to the previous version of SW ROAD 2010. It includes multicore parallel processing, better graphics and higher computation speed, designing of multilane roads, multi alignment, handling of background imageries, 3D views and road animation and cost estimation. The version is self-updating such that user gets automated update notice.

This course has been designed to help as a guide for the engineers to step into the Road Design platform. This course intends to familiarise the learners about the basic idea and concepts of Road Design & Estimation which will definitely be helpful for the further journey as a Road Designer Professional.
