I usually don't do roads, mostly landfills, mines and water storage.
Doesn't matter; the techniques and suggested methods I teach apply to ALL Civil design projects, and survey practice.
I started down this path as an intern in H.S. in 1978 drafting ink on linen. Over the years, I've worked on quarry's, stream restoration, public, and private road construction/rehabilitation projects, subdivision plating, small site grading and drainage. I've also been out in the field, as a rod/chain man, instrument operator for construction staking and boundary surveys, and GIS applications. I've collected the pitfalls and wisdom of others, and rolled all of that as much as is practicable into every portion of the Civil 3D class presentations I provide.
In short; my methods would still make your job easier to perform, and easier to troubleshoot when something does go awry.
Heck even your most senior Engineers could adopt these practices and have functional mastery of C3D within one week.
