- ArchiCAD — architectural BIM, supplied alongside engineering tools.
- IrriCAD — dedicated irrigation design software.
- Quotations formatted for tender, procurement and donor requirements.
- Installation, licence activation and post-supply support.

- Contractors and construction firms
- Manufacturers and fabricators
- UN agencies, NGOs and government departments
Product names are the trade marks of their respective owners.
Training that turns licences into output
Our staff are trained by Autodesk on most of the products we sell. We deliver instructor-led training for engineering teams — in our offices, at your premises, or on project sites.
- AutoCAD training — from fundamentals to production drafting standards.
- Civil 3D for road design — alignments, profiles, corridors, quantities.
- Civil 3D for irrigation design — as delivered to government field officers.
- Infrastructure design for utilities — including power sector engineering teams.
- Group training for departments, or targeted sessions for individual engineers.

- Securex Agencies (K) Ltd and Specialised Aluminium Renovators — AutoCAD
How a training programme runs
Five stages, sized to your team and the software they will actually use.
-
1 · Skills audit
We establish what your engineers can already do and what the project demands of them.
-
2 · Course design
A syllabus built around your own drawings and standards, not a generic sample file.
-
3 · Instructor-led delivery
At our offices, your premises or on site — we have taught in all three.
-
4 · Applied exercise
Trainees work a live task through to a finished drawing or model before we close.
-
5 · Follow-up support
Questions after the course go to the same people who ran it.
Design and small-scale works on the ground
Cadline undertakes small-scale works in survey, civil works and road drainage, and provides road geometry design services for larger projects.
- Topographic and route survey for design input.
- Road geometry design — horizontal and vertical alignment, cross sections.
- Road drainage works: drifts and culvert crossings.
- Water structures: sand dams and concrete irrigation canals.
- Labour contracts executed for main contractors.
Selected works
- Survey and design for a road rehabilitation project in Warrap State, South Sudan — China Jiangxi International
- Road drift along Kithyooni–Kwa Kithuku Road, Makueni County
- Five road drifts and a culvert, Mbooni sub-county, Makueni County
- Five road drifts and a culvert crossing along Mukaa–Uvete Road, Makueni County
- Kalinga sand dam, Kalulini town, Kibwezi sub-county
- Reconstruction of the concrete canal for the Kwa Kyai irrigation scheme, Kibwezi
Civil works executed as labour contracts for Perma Structural Engineering Construction Company unless otherwise stated.

Cadline has built drifts, culvert crossings, a sand dam and a concrete irrigation canal under labour contracts in Makueni County.
Drafting services and document digitisation
Whether you need drawings produced from scratch or an archive of paper drawings brought into CAD, Cadline handles the production work so your engineers can stay on design.
- Production of working drawings for construction projects.
- As-built drawings prepared from site records and survey.
- General drafting services, on call or by project.
- Raster to vector conversion — scanned drawings rebuilt as layered, editable CAD.
- Document digitising services for drawing archives.
Recent output
- Working drawings for a road rehabilitation project in Warrap State, South Sudan — China Jiangxi International
- Drafting services and production of as-built drawings — General Printers Ltd
What you receive
Clean CAD files organised on sensible layers, plotted sheets where required, and source files you own and can keep editing.
Raster to vector, side by side
The handle sweeps on its own — grab it, or use the arrow keys, to compare a scanned sheet with the digitised CAD file.
Illustrative comparison. Real deliverables keep your own layer names, line types and title block.
