Navigating Digital Project Delivery: Oh, the Possibilities We Have at Our Fingertips

In today's environment of digital project delivery, many opportunities exist for enhancing current project delivery processes from design to construction. This sharing session will build upon last year's tech talk: "Bridging Innovative Opportunities for Digital Project Delivery." It will touch upon the innovative initiative of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)—the Project Delivery Collaboration Center (PDCC)—which had a soft rollout in Spring 2024. The PDCC is meant to be a one-stop shop or hub for project managers. The initial rollout familiarized teams with the backbone of the solution, Autodesk Forma. As the PDCC continues to develop and evolve, integrations with department systems and other off-the-shelf solutions will be implemented. A few key integrations in development are with Asta Powerproject Vision, Bentley Systems' ProjectWise, Sitelink, and Voyager. Behind the scenes, the PDCC is not one solution; but to the end user, the intent is that it appears as one.

Stop, Collaborate, and Listen

SSEN must expand its transmission infrastructure to meet growth in offshore wind generation by 2030, with an expected project spend of £1 Billion/year. To meet the challenges, a few key individuals, empowered by their leadership team, embraced Autodesk design & collaboration tools to develop new digital ways of working on in-flight pilot projects. With a mantra of "fail fast and fix," the teams delivered quick wins during live projects focusing on efficiency and re-use of data. The result was scalable project solutions for project delivery across the organisation worth in excess of £4 billion. The case study will discuss how a practical people-focused approach took SSEN on a journey from 3D modelling on pilot schemes to delivering multi-billion pounds of infrastructure project work using a detailed set of BIM protocols and a well developed in-house design team. They will share lessons, successes, and tips for quick wins all while delivering the day job.

Managing Successful Delivery for Mission-Critical Projects

Over the last few years, as we build toward a more resilient future, there's been a tremendous increase in the demand for renewable power, ports of entry, infrastructure, logistics facilities, and manufacturing. However, as the projects have grown in scope, so has the owners' need to receive a higher standard of work from architects, engineers, and builders. This session will address the importance of data governance in mission-critical projects and how it can lead to successful project delivery. We'll understand what owners expect for delivery from traditional and innovative formats like digital docs and signed-off model content. We'll also discover what it takes to meet delivery expectations when the owner specifies a deliverable but doesn't necessarily know the exact outcome. If you want to know what it takes to deliver successfully with lessons learned in the trenches, then join this session!

Accelerate Project Delivery: Standardizing Cloud-Connected BIM Coordination

The team of WSP Canada has developed a highly integrated workflow, combining the best of Revit Cloud Worksharing, Design Collaboration, and Model Coordination to optimize the collaboration and coordination workflows. An integrated workflow has been developed on the largest projects, covering both industrial, linear infrastructure, and building projects. Covering 10 to 500 project members working simultaneously, 7,500 model versions are shared with up to 125 task teams during a single project lifetime. All project members are informed of the status of the collaboration and coordination and presented with a uniform coordination overview, all fully automated. Finally, all parts of the workflow were analyzed, documented, and are now standardized. These are made available for use on every new project within WSP globally. The workflow has helped BIM (Building Information Modeling) managers to become 80% more productive and design teams to speed up project execution and enable faster and better project communication.
