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.

In design and construction projects, we invest heavily in creating intelligent and information-rich design data. However, during the construction phase, this valuable intelligence is often lost when it's converted into printed sheets. Autodesk Forma unified data environment can address the need for seamless data exchange. In this industry talk, learn how Honeywell is adopting digital asset commissioning on web and mobile devices while tracking real-time asset status updates through Power BI. This talk will demonstrate how data-driven workflows can vastly improve operational efficiency while reducing errors and risks. Furthermore, we'll showcase how integrating digital tools can revolutionize the commissioning of projects in large-scale endeavors.

You've seen how iLogic automation can tame tedious and error-prone tasks and make you and your fellow Inventor users more efficient. But have you also run up against the limitations present within the automation tools offered with iLogic? Have you struggled to take things to the next level and create Inventor add-ins? Are you concerned about having to start over? You're not alone. Making the transition from iLogic is a difficult transition for many busy professionals who want to take their automation further but find themselves sticking with what is known, what is familiar, and what is already in place. Join this session and other Inventor automation-focused users like yourself, and you'll discover a path forward that allows you to capitalize on the familiarity of your existing automation, while learning the landscape of the Inventor add-in.

This session will delve into the exciting integration of InfoDrainage software with Civil 3D, a development with the potential to revolutionize drainage design in civil engineering. With its advanced features and capabilities for both traditional and green infrastructure, InfoDrainage aligns perfectly with the versatile functionalities of Civil 3D, paving the way for more-streamlined, efficient, and environmentally sustainable design workflows. We will explore the unique features of InfoDrainage, how they can be integrated with Civil 3D, and the benefits of this integration in improving the accuracy and speed of drainage designs. We'll provide practical insights into the integration process, giving you a clear understanding of how to use these tools effectively in your projects.

Before we consider paperless building sites and PDF-free projects, we'll need to accelerate the process of modeling and make it reliable. SOFiSTiK proposes Rebar Modeler and Rebar Templates tools for Revit 2023 and 2024. In this session, you'll see how easy it is to build your clash-free reinforcement models in both worlds: civil buildings and bridge and infrastructure models. Revit has evolved a lot over the last years, and SOFiSTiK has used the software at its finest level.

This class will showcase a connected data workflow used to deliver large water and sewer infrastructure projects from design to commissioning. This is accomplished with a systematic use of Civil 3D software and ArcGIS integration, asset data governance, and Industry Foundation classes (IFC) for digital-twin commissioning. The sewer and water designs are first developed in Civil 3D. Dynamo and Python are used to attach a class library as property set data and generate a spreadsheet model database. The spreadsheet is linked to an Esri geodatabase through geoprocessing and Python. This geodatabase is updated with field-collected attribute data and as-built data via Esri Field Maps. The computational process is reversed to update the spreadsheet and subsequently the Civil 3D model. The model is delivered as-built, and an IFC version containing the asset data is exported for the owner's digital-twin ecosystem.

When starting down the path of digital transformation, change is a difficult barrier to overcome. Even the simplest solutions often require effort to gain buy-in across teams. When it comes to Forma Build, there are easy choices to make that will save your teams time and centralize documentation, so everyone who needs access has it. At this session, you will learn how to elevate built-in and existing forms and workflows for files within Forma Build to overcome adoption hurdles, ease effort on your teams, and create the foundation for your future projects. We'll tackle how simple modifications to daily reports, smart PDFs, and safety inspection forms will help customize your checklist experience and simplify your workflows. You'll learn how to set up files and folders for a strong collaborative team foundation around Submittals, RFIs, and Plans. Most importantly, you'll learn about the common roadblocks encountered when implementing these new tools and how to overcome them.
