    Description

    Nashville’s once-in-a-generation water plant upgrade is using cloud tools and virtual reality (VR) to set a new standard for how critical facilities are designed. The ambitious project fits a new modern plant into a complex campus, and, notably, will convert a beautiful 105-year-old filter building into an advanced treatment unit. It will not only establish a climate-resilient water supply for Nashville, but it will also honor the historic site with thoughtful architecture and achieve the highest standards in project . The design was a multi-year collaborative effort between 10 firms. Construction Cloud was the cornerstone, with Revit and Civil 3D models brought together daily in a federated Navisworks model. This talk will cover how the live model accessed through Resolve VR empowered all levels of owner staff to engage in project development in ways not otherwise possible—from O&M teams providing frequent detailed input to City officials quickly understanding the site in broad strokes.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn about workflows for multi-firm design teams working in Construction Cloud that maximize quality, efficiency, and flow of information.
    • Learn how to use VR to visualize complex facilities as they’re developed in real time.
    • Learn how to bring busy owners and operators of new facilities into the design process using VR and your existing model workflows.
    • Learn how Nashville is using this innovative project to address growth and flood risk—and change water quality.
