Precision in Practice

Founded in 1946 by Bert Udell, Udell Engineering & Land Surveying, LLC boasts an extensive legacy spanning decades of land development, upholding a reputation for exceptional work. Brian Vandetta joined the company in 1993 after graduating from Oregon State University with a degree in civil engineering. By 2007, Brian became the principal partner. Brian and his wife, Amy, acquired the business from Jim Udell in 2011.

Under Vandetta's leadership, the company continues to embody the principles of reliability, integrity, expertise, and customer service instilled by Jim Udell, maintaining the same high standards that have been the hallmark of Udell Engineering since its inception.

According to Vandetta, one of the key elements to ensuring that their projects run as smoothly as possible, is making sure that all of their employees are properly trained on Autodesk Civil 3D. Civil 3D is a design software that allows civil engineers to meet complex infrastructure challenges in a 3D model-based environment, improving design processes through automation, advanced documentation and improved collaboration and coordination with stakeholders.

"We recognize the importance of advancing our proficiency in Autodesk Civil 3D to maintain our competitive edge," said Vandetta. "Topcon Solutions Store is an ideal partner for providing comprehensive training solutions. I was trained by Topcon with Civil 3D when it came out, when we first implemented it.”

"We understood that our team's adeptness with Civil 3D directly influences project quality and efficiency. Topcon Solutions Store's training sessions elevate our capabilities significantly."

Civil 3D is highly customizable, so the training was designed to align with Udell Engineering's specific workflows and objectives. Vandetta underscored the precision of the training, stating, "Topcon Solutions Store's approach is exceptional. They tailor the curriculum to address our team's needs, ensuring maximum relevance and impact."

Udell Engineering's experience during the training sessions exceeded expectations on multiple fronts. Vandetta expressed admiration for the trainers' expertise, remarking, " Their ability to simplify complex concepts and provide practical insights is remarkable." He emphasized the immediate applicability of the acquired skills within their projects, expediting workflows and enhancing project accuracy.

Moreover, Vandetta lauded the interactive nature of the sessions, stating, "The hands-on approach adopted by Topcon Solutions Store fostered an engaging learning environment. Our team members were actively involved, which significantly amplified the effectiveness of the training."

"The improvement in our project execution is palpable. The efficiency gains were evident, leading to optimized workflows and heightened precision in our designs."

The continued success of Udell Engineering stands as a testament to the transformative capabilities of specialized software training. Vandetta concluded, "Topcon Solutions Store's training services have been instrumental in propelling our teams towards excellence. It's not just about software proficiency; it's about empowering our team to create groundbreaking solutions."

Udell Engineering’s journey exemplifies the profound impact that specialized training can have on empowering teams, fostering innovation, and achieving growth and success.
