The Brannon Corporation completes tasks 90% faster using Civil 3D
Located in Tyler, Texas, the Brannon Corporation (Brannon) provides engineering and planning services to developers and public works agencies throughout Texas. As the leading engineering firm in Tyler, Brannon has thrived as Tyler has grown rapidly in recent years. The firm’s land development department was so busy serving clients that it delayed upgrading its civil design tools for several years. Concerned about falling behind competitors technologically, the firm upgraded all its development projects to Autodesk Civil 3D.
