Success Story

Edgewater Resources Demonstrates Success with Topcon Solutions

Edgewater Resources Demonstrates Success with Topcon Solutions

Customer challenge

An environmental engineer located in southwest Michigan, Edgewater Resources (Edgewater) is a leader in sustainable coastal, waterfront design and engineering, working on numerous projects across three locations in the United States. As Edgewater coordinates with various project teams in different offices, they’ve faced challenges due to the lack of standardization within their Civil 3D templates. Through initial consultations with Topcon Solutions, Edgewater pursued a solution to their problem.

Project goals

Edgewater had two main goals in mind: 1) Standardize the company’s design process through creation of a Civil 3D template 2) Expose and train project team on how to use a Civil 3D template throughout separate offices

Solution

Following conversations with Edgewater, Topcon Solutions’ professional services group created a standardized Civil 3D template and introduced their teams to how they can improve the foundation for how they work from their three separate office locations. Topcon Solutions trained this team to implement this template within their existing workflow, so it is interchangeable between group projects throughout the entire company.

Business outcome

Edgewater recognized significant time savings for their teams through the utility of a standardized Civil 3D template. Edgewater notes their team and ownership has benefitted from this template as they continue to utilize Civil 3D for projects in their growing workload spanning a large area of the United States. They’ve also noted a drastic improvement in how they execute on projects using this evolved workflow.

Conclusion

Topcon Solutions provided Edgewater with a normalized template for Civil 3D projects that prepares their teams for operational success. Edgewater now has the tools and an evolved process for how to handle Civil 3D projects across large distances and different teams. This evolved workflow prepares them to execute design projects more effectively for their ever-growing workload.
