5. Why I Started Yogi PWD

Yogi PWD was created with the objective of sharing practical knowledge and useful technical resources related to civil engineering and infrastructure.

During professional work, engineers frequently need quick access to formulas, calculations, specifications, procedures, software techniques, examples and practical solutions to technical problems.

The purpose of this website is to bring such information together in an accessible format and to make technical subjects easier to understand and apply.

6. What You Will Find on Yogi PWD

The website contains articles, tutorials, calculations, examples, technical references and online tools covering a variety of civil engineering and technology-related topics.

Road Engineering Pavement, construction practices, specifications and technical calculations.

Bridge Engineering Bridge concepts, drawings, construction and related engineering topics.

Estimation & Billing Quantities, estimates, measurements and calculation techniques.

GIS & Surveying QGIS, GPS, GIS data, mapping and surveying workflows.

Engineering Software Practical guidance for engineering and technical software.

Engineering Tools Online calculators, Excel, VBA, HTML and JavaScript tools.

7. Practical Engineering Philosophy

I believe that engineering knowledge becomes more useful when theoretical concepts are connected with practical field applications.

Therefore, I try to present technical subjects using practical examples, calculations, illustrations, software workflows and field-oriented explanations wherever possible.

The objective is not simply to provide an answer, but to help readers understand the reasoning and methodology behind an engineering solution.

8. Engineering Tools and Automation

One of my areas of interest is using technology to simplify repetitive engineering tasks.

This includes developing and using Excel formulas, VBA functions, JavaScript calculators, HTML-based tools, GIS workflows and other digital methods that can help engineers perform calculations, organize information and improve productivity.
