Safety in Design with Autodesk Construction Cloud and AR: The Digital Journey of an Aviation Project

The Terminal 2 Baggage Programme (T2BP) at Heathrow aims to replace the aging T2 baggage system linked to Terminal 1. The new solution will be implemented in five phases across 21 construction projects, grouped by physical and operational attributes. A major challenge was managing design risks through different organizations and suppliers that interface at key areas in a live operational environment. The manual Excel processes used to record design risks led to difficulties in maintaining a single source of truth, causing duplication and errors. The goal was to find a streamlined, digital solution to standardize processes and enable monitoring and reporting through dashboards. After researching data environments, Autodesk Construction Cloud was chosen for its suitability to manage design risk information, requiring customization through trial and feedback. The solution also provided integration with augmented reality (AR) for live inspections.

Build Smarter, Not Harder: A Coordination Case Study with Autodesk Construction Cloud

In a world of constantly evolving construction software where you have to manage multiple tech stacks on projects, imagine the relief of having a single source of truth for each project? Enter Autodesk Construction Cloud. This case study of an IPD health care project aims to showcase how we structured our virtual coordination into a 3-pronged approach. First, we used Autodesk Construction Cloud Locations to break a floor plan down into Rooms and TAKT zones. Second, we created Autodesk Construction Cloud Assets for each room to track. And, third, we tied .RCP and In-Wall Sheets for those rooms using the Autodesk Construction Cloud Sheets module. The value? Getting to look at the whole lifecycle of the room—from when the walls were in DD stage, through various stages of design and trade coordination, prefabrication, installation, and, finally, QC, punch-list, and wall-close. At every phase of the project, the team had all the information they need within one platform: Autodesk Construction Cloud. This enabled the end user to view the historical context of coordination in one place. A win for all stakeholders.

Streamlining Material Tracking with AI and Data-Driven Decision Making

In today’s fast-paced environment, visibility within the material supply chain is a necessity to maintain operational excellence and drive growth. Success in project delivery depends on materials arriving on time, surety of cost, and the meeting of schedule dates. Traditional methods are time-consuming and aren’t agile enough to capture real-world scenarios, such as field measurements, factory testing, or mock-up approvals. To address these challenges, we’ve paired project delivery best practices—developed through firsthand experience on real projects—with innovative software such as Autodesk Build and ConstructivIQ to streamline material tracking and visualize the material supply chain. We’re using emerging artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to automate tasks, simplify processes that require human intervention, and support an equitable exchange of ideas through predictive analytics.
