Compare ASTRA Pro vs. BaseStone

ASTRA Pro features optional applications for structural analysis and design tailored to reinforced cement concrete (RCC) framed multi-story buildings, RCC tunnel linings supported by steel ribs, and RCC portals that take into account rock quality designation (RQD) and rock mass rating (RMR), as well as designs for RCC and prestressed concrete (PSC) jetties. The software provides comprehensive analysis and design information in a step-by-step format, along with a complete array of editable CAD drawings. However, in the demo version, users cannot modify the default input data, and the available drawings are restricted to view-only access. Each design module is accompanied by complete reports and drawings, forming a cohesive set. Additionally, detailed estimations for bill of quantities (BoQ), item rates, and costs are available for various types of bridges, including girder bridges, box-type bridges/culverts, and composite bridges. ASTRA Pro serves as a specialized tool for engineering design, facilitating the creation of RCC 'T' girder bridges, composite bridges featuring steel plate or box girders, and RCC deck slabs configured for both single and multi-span layouts, whether straight or curved, as well as PSC 'I' girder bridges, PSC box girder bridges, continuous PSC box girder structures, and steel truss bridges. This software not only enhances design accuracy but also streamlines the engineering workflow for a variety of complex structures.

Access drawings of any dimension and quality across various devices, complete with robust version control and seamless integration with other systems. Capture your markup and as-built records directly from the job site, whether you’re connected to the internet or offline. Enhance your documentation by attaching sketches, images, forms, and additional materials for a richer context. The platform allows for the built-in issuance of files or document groups for handover directly through BaseStone, complete with comprehensive read receipt tracking. You can manage an unlimited array of drawings and files while maintaining thorough version control. Newly uploaded versions of drawings automatically replace their predecessors, yet previous versions remain readily accessible for tracking changes. Oversee your inspections and generate reports detailing observations and recommendations for your clients. The ability to markup and document photos facilitates clearer communication regarding updates, ensuring that vital information is understood and acted upon swiftly. By streamlining daily operations, you can significantly boost productivity and reduce unnecessary administrative burdens and work duplication, ultimately leading to more efficient project management.
