Success Story

Geomatics Workflow Optimization

Geomatics Workflow Optimization

Customer challenge

Beairsto & Associates Engineering Ltd. (BASE) has been providing surveying and engineering guidance towards the growth and development of the communities they serve since 1963. SolidCAD and their parent company, Cansel met with the Design and Survey Management team for a discovery session to understand their existing workflows, issues and future goals. Although BASE was doing well with their current manual practices, they needed a new workflow that would increase efficiency and reduce risk.

Project goals

SolidCAD and Cansel identified three specific opportunities for their current workflow by enhancing integration between stages of the process, reducing manual checking and management as well as developing object-based design within Autodesk Civil 3D. Stakeout for their CAD systems were configured to receive, design and provide stakeout objects for survey equipment.

Solution

SolidCAD/Cansel worked with BASE to study their current survey, design and stakeout for construction processes along with supporting datasets and comparing to industry best practices. This work involved reviewing existing files, personnel, equipment and deliverables to determine the most effective change management for BASE. In turn, this led to the creation of a strategic roadmap eliciting immediate and future requirements within the vision, goals and objectives of the company.

Business outcome

BASE has achieved more efficiency and less risk by implementing survey methods that tie directly to design objects and output to stakeout objects and automate tasks within Autodesk Civil 3D. This maximizes the use of surveyor’s time in the field, linking survey data directly to model-based design templates for both survey and stakeout. The model based design uses templates to standardize road, parcel and utilities design and outputs survey objects for stakeout.

Conclusion

BASE continues to refine and expand their processes utilizing their standardized platform and strategic roadmap to grow into horizontal and vertical markets. Overall the Workflow Optimization service helped solidify BASE’s status as a leader in their industry and improved the way they service their clients in Western Canada.

Streamlining Workflows and Improving Data Management with Fusion 360 Manage!

After an investigation of 3D-P’s issues, the team identified two specific areas they wanted to improve; (1) the inefficient design management that relied heavily on manual data entry, and outdated practices for managing their Bill of Materials (BOMs) and (2) challenges of change management and communication. As the company grew, they realized that a lot of their processes were slowing them down and needed to be optimized.

Rising to The Challenges of The Industry With Vault, Revit, Inventor, Autodesk Construction Cloud And PLM Software!

Today’s push for remote work and custom designs have exposed some logistical difficulties for Starline Windows. To continue providing services in every step of the process, there is a constant need for better tracking and traceability of project commitments, product manufacturing and installation life cycles. Starline Windows faces business challenges that many other businesses face such as (1) lack of design collaboration engagement with external architects and contractors, (2) lack of design revision visibility for field personnel, (3) lack of project cost clarity, (4) limited data transfers between operating systems from the office to the field and (5) lack of cross department visibility in their overall coordination for logistics management.
