In this interactive hands-on lab, you'll learn how to use Autodesk Workshop XR (an immersive workspace) as an essential tool to accelerate your design review process, as did leading firms such as Stantec, HKS, and AtkinsRéalis. We'll walk you through creating a workshop using a 3D model from Autodesk Forma. Then, using the provided Meta Quest virtual reality (VR) headsets, you'll experience the immersive power of collaboratively walking through the model. By reviewing the model in detail and having live access to the associated building information modeling (BIM) data, you can identify spatial issues faster—issues that get missed when viewing on a regular screen or with automated clash detection. Take the learnings from this hands-on lab back to your team members, and empower them to move successfully from design to construction more efficiently and sustainably. We'll provide the laptops and the Meta Quest headsets; all you need to bring is your innovative spirit.

This session will look at how Boustead Projects implements processes for monitoring and tracking prefabricated elements. It involves overseeing design approval before fabrication, as well as the real-time tracking of asset location and status with the use of QR codes. This real-time tracking facilitates the generation of accurate status reports for project stakeholders. For mechanical and electrical equipment required for testing and commissioning (T&C), each named asset is tagged with its T&C status, which is then documented in the intelligent model data. This data includes parameter values like equipment site label, site location, and system description, which are used for the respective unit on-site. Internally, Boustead Projects uses Assets to track the lidar scanning statuses based on rooms per level, keeping management informed about the progress of lidar scanning activities.

This session will explain the latest volcanic episodes in Iceland—a constant threat to nearby town and infrastructure in the Reykjanes Peninsula. In November 2023, the 4,000-person town of Grindavík was evacuated. Working in close cooperation with the Civil Protection of Iceland, Verkís designed and managed the construction of lava diversion barriers to protect the 225 MW geothermal power plants at Svartsengi, the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, and Grindavík. HEC-RAS was used to model lava flows using the latest topographical drone mapping of the surface and fresh lava. The barriers were designed and modeled in Civil 3D software, and Autodesk Forma was used to communicate design and stakeout data to multiple contractors. This study will show how the barrier design was optimized during the volcanic eruption by comparing theoretical models against actual lava flow behavior. Now 11 km of massive lava barriers have been built, which worked successfully against the lava flow and saved the town of Grindavík.
