Want to learn more about managing your infrastructure assets using the BIM process with Autodesk Platform Services, IoT, and much more? In this case study, you will discover how to reduce data processing time by 90% and optimize your field operation by up to 25%. Using laser scanning for geometry survey, we have gathered precise and accurate data that has enabled us to create a detailed and realistic model with Revit software. Pathology registration and management has been implemented using Autodesk Construction Cloud, streamlining our data management process, and ensuring optimal efficiency. We have also developed a bespoke visualization environment using Autodesk Platform Services, which has provided us with a comprehensive platform to analyze and interpret our data. Furthermore, we have integrated IoT sensors, which have allowed us to gather real-time data, providing us with accurate and up-to-date information.

Four years ago, a major fire broke out in Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral. The French government has given the rebuild five years. To meet the key outcomes around schedule, health, and safety, the project has coordinated the daily presence of various types of workers specialized in restoration activities (archaeologists, carpenters, stone cutters, and so on). This class will focus on how Setec Opency (specializing in construction management) has digitized the execution planning process using 4D building information modeling (BIM) and digital technology, integrating the work sequencing and the opportunity of planning optimization, while minimizing the risk of accidents. Setec Opency will show how it has taken into account multiple constraints: tight deadlines, the configuration of a historical building (large volume, 4,800 square meters, great height), 120 subcontractors, and 400 workers over nine construction phases costing hundreds of millions of euros. See how bringing 4D to the field with VR/XR will help the renaissance of an 800-year-old legacy.

Brazil has undergone significant legislative changes in recent years and has the bold, yet necessary, goal to universalize water and sewage services by 2033. That challenge has driven building information modeling (BIM) implementation in sanitation companies, which encouraged the Brazilian company SANEAGO to use and customize Autodesk Docs and the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection tools for its context. Similar to other sanitation concessionaires, SANEAGO currently deals with large project volume, developed by several different design companies, for the 226 municipalities it operates. This makes document management, standardization, collaboration, project analysis, and project design quite challenging. In this talk, we'll discuss the CAD-BIM transition, covering not only software usage, but also company diagnosis, policies, and project standards establishment, which involves changes in the design processes and in the organizational culture as a whole, in order to raise BIM maturity within the company and its entire ecosystem.

The U.K. government's plan for growth highlighted the critical importance of an efficient construction industry to the U.K. economy. The construction sector is a critical growth area for them, therefore, providing a more efficient process will aid in this plan. U.K. construction represents some 7% of GDP or £110 billion per annum of expenditure—some 40% of this being in the public sector, with central government being the industry's biggest customer. As a result, the aim to effectively save on construction projects was at the forefront of the government objective. This class will summarize the final steps toward reaching what the industry is now familiar with defining as Level 2 Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the final steppingstones toward achieving this. As we move closer to April 2015, the so-called deadline, we are seeing many projects achieve their compliance and an industry scrambling to train, add skills to their teams, and promote BIM as part of their services.

Le bungalow sera connecté de manière autonome à internet, équipé d'un écran tactile, d'un poste de travail, d'une climatisation, d'un onduleur, d'un boitier 4G et wifi. Eiffage Construction numérisera le terrain et centralisera les informations dans une seule application de type collaborative, la plateforme BIM 360. L'utilisation de la plateforme contribuera à une meilleure compréhension du plan et de la détection des écarts, et à un meilleur contrôle des heures en fonction de l'avancement réel du chantier. La classe sera coprésentée par le Client et l'équipe Consulting d'Autodesk.

This class will identify and prove the power of laser scan data, photogrammetry, and the resulting meshes and points in the design process. Using a live data set, industry professionals will demonstrate the simplicity, the flexibility, and the range of uses from a multidisciplinary point of view. They will then use scan data to redefine use of the phrase “as-built” for new building construction by introducing the concept of CPR (Construction Progress Recording) and how we can truly produce as-built Building Information Modeling (BIM) data sets for use in the real-world operation of buildings. They'll be talking about scanning hardware; Autodesk, Inc., software; data sources (laser and photographs); and the use of Autodesk cloud services to capture, process, and validate the data.

Denver International Airport (DEN) has been capitalizing on the value of the BIM 360 platform for 8 years. Now DEN is deploying the latest tools on the BIM 360 platform on more than $2 billion worth of capital improvement projects, for every purpose from production, coordination, quality assurance, and review in design, to inspections, asset data capture, and quality assurance and quality control in construction, to transitioning to operations at handover. BIM 360 Design Collaboration, BIM 360 Glue software, Navisworks software, BIM 360 Model Coordination, BIM 360 Docs software, BIM 360 Insight software, and BIM 360 Field Management have all provided value to DEN. With the latest BIM tools, it is becoming increasingly clear that leadership in BIM adoption must begin with the owner as the ultimate customer for all facility data.

So you just won a major new project and your client has told you to go buy a big box of BIM Level 9 with the Collaboration & CDE add-ons. You've booked a meeting room too, so things just got real. Luckily, we've banged our heads against this wall for you, so come hear some of our stories on projects ranging from the new Heathrow expansion to Biomes in China or the Oman desert and others in between. We'll discuss challenges such as mobilisation, the human side of BIM (TM), data workflows and how we tackled them, and more.

Constructing $7 billion megatunnels over a decade, with a century-long maintenance commitment, presents unprecedented challenges for reliability, longevity, and societal impact. Traditional approaches like DBFM procurement and sequential design and construction prove inadequate for such monumental projects. However, the infrastructure owner, Lantis, has been at the forefront of pioneering project delivery and asset management standards. This case study will unveil the results from a pilot partnership with Autodesk and Esri, showcasing the Infrastructure Asset Management 5.0 journey. It will emphasize the transformative role that data accessibility and availability play for all stakeholders. Learn about the benefits of cloud-based collaboration and building information modeling (BIM)—not for only design, but extended into operations. Discover how, amid an ever-changing urban environment and a supply chain of national proportions, owners can use the power of dashboards to strive for zero unplanned infrastructure downtime.

This class will explore the implementation of an efficient workflow for 3D scanning of large plants. From laser scanning at the field until a point cloud, which can be combined with a 2D layout and 3D models, our scan projects count regularly more than 100 scans. After the scans are taken, the scans are removed from noise and then divided in layers according to the flow sheet. The buildings are also on a separate layer and divided into roof, walls, and floor. These scans are then combined in Navisworks software with a 3D model of a new line generated at our company. The 3D models are made with Inventor software. A 2D layout, which we receive from the customer, is also attached. This workflow has been improved on a lot since the start, and this is what we want to teach in this class. Recently we purchased a drone to capture photos at places that are not reachable for our scanner (for example, ducting on a roof). A 3D point cloud can then be derived from those photos and combined with the laser scan point cloud This session features ReCap, Inventor Professional, and Navisworks Manage.

Roads and highways are responsible for more than a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, with 7.3% of global emissions coming from their construction materials (Architecture 2030). Global regulations and incentives to cut these upfront carbon emissions are growing, including the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, and the EU Green Public Procurement. This panel discussion will feature international practitioners and data platform providers who are working to decarbonize roads and highways. Civil 3D software can be a critical piece of this effort, if integrated with sustainability tools. The discussion will cover the opportunities and hurdles faced by engineering companies and technology providers as the infrastructure industry aims to improve its impact on climate change.

Generative Design has brought a paradigm shift in the way we design. In early 2019 we launched a Proof of Concept for this new approach, taking advantage of our BIM and Station concept expertise. Having disseminated state-of-the-art Generative Design knowledge among our technical team, we began an ‘awareness phase’ and chose a subject for Proof of Concept from a range of study cases. The test application that we present today aims to help architects in Functional Program of Metro Station. We would like to share with you our experience from the last 12 months of experimentation.
