A major gas utility client recognized the benefits of 3D design and engaged Autodesk consulting to develop a strategy and solution to replace their existing 2D CAD tools. The project introduces Building Information Modeling (BIM) for pipeline engineering design with an agile implementation plan to accelerate adoption. The recommended solution used Plant Design Suite, including AutoCAD® P&ID software and AutoCAD® Structural Detailing software, in combination with AutoCAD® Electrical software, AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software, and Vault software to completely replace the existing systems and provide significant productivity improvements. In this class, we discuss the process that was conducted to develop the system solution business and functional requirements, the solution design, and the business justification for 2D to 3D design adoption. We also discuss the implementation strategy based on best practices and agile methods to completely train and upgrade the design and engineering data management environment.

It can be difficult to develop a sound business case and secure funding to implement new technology. This class will discuss an Autodesk Consulting engagement by a major electric and gas utility to develop a strategic implementation plan and business case for the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for both the transmission workflow and the substation design engineering and construction workflow. The Solution will alter the current design and construction management processes, and it includes InfraWorks software, AutoCAD Civil 3D software, Inventor software, Inventor Publisher software, Substation Design Solution software, Vault software, and BIM 360 software. In this class we will discuss the process followed to analyze the business requirements, develop a Solution, and formulate an implementation plan and cost estimate. The class will highlight an approach to benefit quantification, which includes preparing a net cash-flow analysis and calculating the financial metrics required to present and win funding approval from senior management.

This class discusses the results of an Advanced Infrastructure Analysis Technology assessment recently conducted by Autodesk Consulting for a major electric and gas utility that has over 15 million customers. A key focus of the engagement was the evaluation of emerging mobile and visualization technologies of potential benefit to the client's gas transmission and distribution network operations for both the short-term and long-term replacement of current mobile solutions. In this class, we demonstrate a number of Autodesk products, including InfraWorks civil infrastructure design software, ReCap™ reality capture software, and Autodesk® PLM 360 cloud-based product lifecycle management software. We highlight current advances in emerging technologies, including reality capture and augmented reality. We discuss the business requirements that were identified, the current limitations and advantages of each solution, and the final short-term and long-term recommendations that were presented.

Concept Design

A transformation of an organization's legacy engineering design systems first requires a vision. This class will discuss the vision of using Building Information Modeling (BIM) for 3D intelligent design to transform San Diego Gas & Electric's transmission and substation engineering design and construction process. The transformation includes the implementation of a number of Autodesk, Inc., Solutions in an integrated mosaic of engineering design workflows. We start with conceptual design using InfraWorks software. We will follow this with detailed design and analysis with AutoCAD Civil 3D software, Inventor software, AutoCAD Electrical software, and Substation Design Solution software. A fundamental concept is the adoption of 3D model components for engineering design standardization and construction standards publishing and training. The implementation of BIM 360 software for construction quality assurance / quality control management will complete the transformation. We will discuss a strategic 3-year plan, and we will demonstrate visuals that are being used to convey the vision and build consensus across the organization.

This roundtable session provides an overview and demonstration of the complete Autodesk® solution that was implemented at Grant Public Utility District (PUD). The PUD generates, transmits, and distributes electric power and fiber connectivity for Grant County, Washington. In this class, you learn how Autodesk products and services have been put to work to implement a complete end-to-end utility solution. Learn how the Grant PUD uses AutoCAD® Utility Design software, AutoCAD® Map 3D mapping software, and Autodesk® Infrastructure Map Server software integrated with Autodesk Global Services consulting offerings for fiber management and field computing. The solution includes construction design, mapping, maintenance and field operations, and integration with in-house systems such as its customer information system and finance system. The class provides detailed examples and discussion of each major component of the system and a live demonstration of AutoCAD Utility Design and Map 3D data integration as well as the Map 3D fiber solution and the mobile mapping application.
