# HEADS Site Reviews **Vendor:** Techsoft Engineering Services (I) **Category:** [Civil Engineering Design Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/civil-engineering-design) **Average Rating:** 4.5/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 4 ## About HEADS Site s CAD based software and HEADS Site has wide range of applications in Irrigation projects design of Canals, Bunds, Dykes, De-Siltation Dredging work. It can also measure Volume of Storage water in a reservoir at Dam or Barrage by recording rise or fall of water levels by using Digital Terrain Model & Contours generated by using downloaded Ground Elevation data obtained from Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) by Global Mapper from the satellite, without any field survey work. The Slope Stability Analysis provided by Bishop's method. ## HEADS Site Reviews ### 1. Estimate storage volume using digital terrain models **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike M. | Customer Support Technician, Oil & Energy, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 16, 2024 **What do you like best about HEADS Site?** Being a civil engineer who designs Irrigation projects, HEADS Site is a very useful tool for canal and embankment construction. It converts accurate data into design models and enables me to design canals, bunds and dykes within a short span of time. **What do you dislike about HEADS Site?** The lack of access to 3D models hinders me and prevents me from seeing design issues or explaining project plans to others. This makes it difficult to accurately represent the details involved in irrigations projects and share such representations to the stakeholders. **What problems is HEADS Site solving and how is that benefiting you?** Heads Site contains a program where many of the routine tasks involved in the design of irrigation project are automatically done. The CAD of the software draws accurate models which reduce manual computations to determine design accuracy. ### 2. Saves time and enhances precision of other designs **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jamal N. | Systems Engineer, Oil & Energy, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 16, 2024 **What do you like best about HEADS Site?** I have been a civil engineer working particularly on irrigation projects and using this HEADS Site as a tool in design and analysis. The software precisely deals with 2D CAD drawings related to canals, bunds and dykes. **What do you dislike about HEADS Site?** The lack of 3D view negatively impacts when working in a team with other engineers possibly using this view in their communications and planning. **What problems is HEADS Site solving and how is that benefiting you?** HEADS Site can reduce work time of engineers and is able to perform many monotonous operations connected with creation of irrigation project. This eliminates the time I would have used to draw canals, bunds or dykes in 2D thus giving me ample time in analyzing and designing the entire project. ### 3. Improves the evaluation of dam and embankment stability **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Atig H. | Investment Analyst, Government Administration, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2024 **What do you like best about HEADS Site?** Being a civil engineer focused on irrigation works, I consider HEADS Site useful. Digital terrain models and contours, developed by satellite data, can be employed instead of repeating field surveys required for reservoir volume calculation. **What do you dislike about HEADS Site?** It appears that the export options can be somewhat limited, and, in some cases the data format does not mesh with most commonly used engineering applications. **What problems is HEADS Site solving and how is that benefiting you?** Using HEADS Site, mapping and measuring of areas of interest from satellite image is accomplished, thus avoiding fieldwork and estimations. This also enables me to concentrate with the design and analysis segment on irrigation projects. ### 4. Going deep with HEADS: A complete review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Namita A. | Freelance Writer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2024 **What do you like best about HEADS Site?** It offers a user-friendly interface and rich content **What do you dislike about HEADS Site?** Unclear navigation and lack in accessibility **What problems is HEADS Site solving and how is that benefiting you?** HEADS Site offers community engagement, and networking and provides ease of accessing information. It enhances the data quality to be accessed and utilized by the users. It is also offering enhanced community interaction. It also fosters continuous learning promoting the development of technology. - [View HEADS Site pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/heads-site/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-17+10%3A49%3A24+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=d34db45c-8166-4cb5-b780-d8c7427eef9c&secure%5Btoken%5D=1e838594b0d67e10094db09d606aa0621cc8fd380189974d7ae50601150c5d90&format=llm_user) ## HEADS Site Features **Plan** - Documentation - Sequence - Annotate - Collaborate **Design** - 3D Modeling - 3D Rendering - Drawing - Editing **Construction** - Fabrication - Reinforcement - Clash Detection - Grading - Earthwork **Engineering** - Hydraulic engineering - Hydrologic engineering - Transportation engineering - Structural engineering ## Top HEADS Site Alternatives - [MicroStation](https://www.g2.com/products/microstation/reviews) - 4.0/5.0 (388 reviews) - [ZWCAD](https://www.g2.com/products/zwcad/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (347 reviews) - [GeoHECRAS](https://www.g2.com/products/geohecras/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (347 reviews)
