From Airports, Mission Critical Infrastructure, Healthcare, Hospitality, and Higher Education, we as builders are faced with a multitude of data inputs and variables. Come explore a story about enabling seamless collaboration, building trust and connections, and how to remain adaptable and agile in the world of construction technology and implementing best practices through the use of near real time data integration for decision making. This session outlines examples of those best practices deployed by Hensel Phelps through People, Processes, Technology, and Partnerships while focusing on the implementation of the Autodesk ecosystem along with their industry partners from software and hardware too.

This course will give you an overview of civil asset management at Denver International Airport. What are the civil assets? Denver International Airport (DEN) has a campus size of roughly 34,000 acres. DEN Asset Management is tasked with tracking existing and new assets across the entire airport. Learn how the Digital Facilities and Infrastructure (DFI) group in DEN Asset Management manages airport models and asset models. DFI is tracking 200+ projects at the airport. The Autodesk Forma Asset Module has model linking so that changes to the models are pushed into the Forma Build environment in Autodesk Forma. In this class, you will see a demo of how asset model linking is done based on criteria loaded into the models by our design consultants. DEN is completing an inventory of airfield stormwater structures. You'll learn how the collection of the data via electronic means has saved time and effort. And you'll see how, as an owner, the data can be used as we manage the civil assets into the future across our maintenance and engineering teams.

Tata Projects is one of the first EPC contractors in India, implementing a fully digital strategy, for delivering large-scale infrastructure projects on digital-first concepts. One of the largest airport maintenance facilities that Tata Projects is delivering on EPC mode demonstrates the power of BIM integrated with Autodesk Forma—Forma Build, Autodesk BIM Collaborate, Autodesk Assemble, and Autodesk Insights—within a common data environment (CDE). This enhances collaboration among stakeholders, including the client, PMC, contractors, vendors, and design consultants. This talk will demonstrate how we merge engineering with construction execution, project controls, procurement, cost planning, and quantity control with real-time progress monitoring using dynamic BI dashboards—thus improving operational efficiency while reducing errors and risks. By pioneering this, we’re reimagining the construction lifecycle of a project through digitized process from inception to completion.

This class will provide an overview of how Bechtel has used technology to help drive the capital investment project at London Gatwick, which is the world’s busiest single runway airport and the second largest airport in the UK. The discussion will focus on how Autodesk® software has been implemented along with a range of other technologies to deliver a carefully planned, multidisciplinary project, including new terminal buildings, renovations, and infrastructure works. With over 200 projects either in progress or planned, the coordination between the airport authority, Bechtel, and a host of subcontractors is crucial, and it requires intelligent use of standards and collaboration tools. This class will be jointly delivered by Bechtel and Autodesk and will focus on the flow of data from preliminary design through to architecture, engineering, construction, and beyond.

This case study highlights the deployment of a 5D BIM Power BI dashboard on an airport project valued at $420 million. Developed by L&T Construction—India’s largest engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm—the dashboard integrated Revit software and Autodesk Forma to streamline progress monitoring and billing. Tackling key challenges like complex stakeholder coordination and data fragmentation, the solution improved transparency, reduced manual errors, and sped up decision making. The integration of models, documents, and workflows in the cloud created a synchronized construction environment, enhancing cost control and governance. This digital-first approach minimized paper-based processes and resource redundancies, driving operational Sustainable Design. This case underscores the transformative power of connected construction, demonstrating how cloud-based platforms and BIM can foster efficiency, accountability, and environmental responsibility at scale.

In the summer of 2020, as the world struggled through the COVID-19 pandemic, Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL) selected an international team to design Noida International Airport (NIA) in Delhi. The Delhi National Capital Region aims to serve 200 million passengers by the year 2060. The architectural team consists of Nordic, Grimshaw, Haptic, and STUP, and represents offices across the globe—Norway, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It became clear that the only way to work together, even without a pandemic, would be to the most-advanced cloud services—BIM 360 software. Maximizing a combination of BIM 360 Docs, BIM 360 Design, and BIM 360 Collaboration software, the team has designed the most-optimal workflows to suit the project. As the team members proceed with the four-phased architectural design from their home offices, this demo aims to present the routines we used, the collaboration processes we introduced and discovered, and the ways we brought together an international team to create sustainable world-class architecture.

This session will outline a workflow for creating a Revit model of a steel composite cable stay bridge by using a combo of Grasshopper, Dynamo, and Informed Design for Inventor software. Modeling a bridge structure poses challenges due to its complex geometry, which adheres to a vertical, horizontal, and super-elevated roadway profile. Consequently, the steel girders, beams, and connection details must align with this 3D roadway profile, complicating the creation and placement of Revit families. For this challenge, COWI used Grasshopper and Dynamo to automate the creation of steel geometry, parameters, and insertion points, ensuring accurate orientation for family placement. Additionally, Informed Design was used to transform various iterations of intricate steel connections into families, which were then positioned using a Dynamo workflow. The integration of visual programming and Informed Design has been vital in efficiently producing complex bridge structures with a focus on Automation, Integration, & Customization.

We’ll will focus on the use of design models, trade models, coordination models, owner-mandated metadata, and the BIM execution plans.

The construction industry has been notorious for relying on centuries-old processes to manage projects that are getting more complex and demanding faster execution. This class will discuss how Building Information Modeling (BIM) is making a shift by industrializing construction and setting up off-site assembly lines for manufacturing modules and subassemblies that can be assembled on-site by a lean team. In this session, we will discuss case studies from several iconic global project executions (airports, stadiums, and so on) where assembly line manufacturing construction processes were deployed for amazingly fast construction, reducing the on-site work, wastages, and costs. The main focus of this class is on building the network and involving all stakeholders in the use of BIM to support modular design and industrialized construction. Attendees will learn when and how to set up these assembly lines and discover the challenges associated with them.

If you’re a Civil 3D user being asked to provide data to your geographic information system (GIS) department, if you are being asked to use GIS data as background data for your designs, or if you think GIS is a four-letter word—this class will answer this all-too-common question: “Why should I care about GIS?” You’ll learn to import GIS data not only as AutoCAD objects, but also directly as Civil 3D objects, like Surfaces and Pipe Networks that use the existing database information. We’ll also explore the new ArcGIS Connector to access ArcGIS Online data in real time. Once that data is in Civil 3D we’ll explore ways to use it with labeling tools and other display techniques. This popular class has won the award for Best Hands-on Lab at Autodesk University. Don’t miss your chance to learn how the GIS tools in Civil 3D can make you more productive by automating common everyday tasks.
