Instructors The seminar will be led by one of the primary instructors listed below, as well as others from The Envision Group’s professional staff. Ronald J. Brys, PLS Mr. Brys, is the founder and president of the training and consulting firm The Envision Group. He is a former Land Surveyor, designer, and CADD system administrator. He has specialized in the software MicroStation & InRoads from Bentley Systems Corporation. His experience with the application of the software for engineering firms is invaluable in the instruction and ultimate use in a productive manner.. He received his degree in Civil Engineering Technology from the Madison Area Technical College and became a licensed Land Surveyor in 1981. Mr. Brys is a qualified instructor for the InRoads suite of products including InRoads (roadway/site design) and InRoads Survey (survey data collection and processing). He is also a qualified instructor for classes ranging from MicroStation Basics to advanced topics  such as 3D modeling and visualization. He has nearly three decades of experience in the management of data for civil engineering design and construction projects ranging from airports, urban infrastructure design, to environmental sites and facilities. Mark S. Ditko, P.E. With over 20 years of experience Mark has accumulated a solid knowledge of grading, paving, water, sewer and other utility design with emphasis in the use of CADD in the production of engineering documents. He has specialized in surveying, coordinate geometry, hydrology, pipe & channel hydraulics and extensively in site grading & earthwork calculations by both manual and computer modeling methods. Mr. Ditko began working MicroStation in 1985 and since early 1989 he has worked extensively with the Civil Engineering software application suite InRoads in both a production and educational environment. He received his BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh in 1981. Mark is a qualified instructor for InRoads, InRoads Site, and InRoads Survey. Mark has extensive experience in project work, as a consultant and has assisted many others to implement the InRoads software in production environments through custom training, general guidance, and documentation. Jeffrey A. Martin, P.E. With almost 15 years of experience in the engineering field, Jeff has had the opportunity to work on projects ranging from survey to advanced highway modeling. He has specialized in site layout and design, grading and drainage systems, along with storm water engineering and highway drainage analysis. Mr. Martin began working with MicroStation and InRoads in 1989. As an Intergraph Employee, Jeff’s roles involved supporting and certifying versions of the InRoads software portfolio, including major roles in InRail, and Intergraph’s bridge and hydraulics programs. As support and certification lead for the water resources products, he was instrumental in the development of the HGL and Pump methodology for the precursor to InRoads Storm & Sanitary (S & S) and maintained an important role in the testing and certification of S & S. Jeff received his BS in Civil Engineering in 1989 after attending the U.S. Air Force Academy and the University of Florida-Gainesville and holds professional licenses in both Florida and California. He is a qualified instructor for InRoads, InRoads Site, and InRoads Storm & Sanitary. Jeff has extensive experience in project work as a consultant in the areas of system administration, process automation, workflow optimization, utility engineering, and training solutions.

Course Description A 5-day course introducing many of the important fundamental features of the InRoads corridor modeling and site design software from Bentley Systems Inc. Included in this course is an exercise workbook and thorough reference manual for InRoads settings, digital terrain modeling, alignment design, corridor modeling, site design, and earthwork analysis. At the completion of this course, you will be familiar with using the fundamental settings and commands InRoads design software offers. Giving you a sound basis to use InRoads and further expand your productive use of the software.
