Design, Build, Experience: Immersive Digital Workplaces (REPEAT)
Imagine walking a design site before it’s ever built, with grading, buildings, and utilities unfolding around you in full context. Immersive Digital Workplaces make that possible, turning project models into shared experiences that improve communication and bring teams into alignment before construction begins. In this fast-paced, high-level session, three voices from civil design, immersive technology, and construction will share insights from the field. Rather than a technical deep dive, this session offers a big-picture look at how immersive Digital Workplaces are bridging disciplines, reducing errors, and clarifying complex data throughout the project lifecycle. When stakeholders can visualize a design in its environment, they are empowered to make faster, more confident decisions. Join us to explore how immersive workflows support better outcomes from concept through construction.

How to Implement BIM as Part of Companies’ Digital Transformation Strategies
This session will discuss how building information modeling (BIM) should fit into a company’s digital transformation strategy, drawing on the experiences and lessons learned from undertaking this exercise at multidisciplinary design consultancy Khatib & Alami (K&A). For K&A, BIM has been well-established across all types of building projects since 2011. In 2018, we developed a further road map to drive quality and consistency across all levels of the organization as part of the company’s digital transformation. This road map included assessing current staff; building a strong team of modelers, auditors, and developers to achieve an internal critical mass; implementing BIM across all four K&A design centers; and ensuring one consistent set of standards, in accordance with ISO 19650. BIM implementation has been a cornerstone of K&A’s digital transformation, and its success has established strong momentum across the wider program.

Women Leadership in BIM Standardization and Implementation
Khatib & Alami (K&A)'s standardization and implementation of building information modeling (BIM) has promoted staff based on merit and effectiveness, and the firm is proud to be an equal opportunities employer. The success of women colleagues is highly visible across the company’s digital services activities. Of the three streams designed in the BIM road map, two created within the BIM unit (BIM for building and BIM for infrastructure) are led by women. In the BIM development stream women are dominant, in term of effectiveness. Amira ElSaeed—our “40 Under 40” awarded star—is one of the computational design heroes, while Vijaya Venkata is leading the BIM implementation in the Bangalore office. Furthermore, the BIM coordinator community has a strong mix of genders.

BIM and GIS Cloud Collaboration Panel: Actionable, Connected Data Environments
Recent global impacts are changing the way infrastructure is planned, engineered, constructed, and maintained. More process participants are working remotely, teams are progressively distributed across locations, and requirements for collaborative cloud environments have dramatically increased. This has all coincided with streamlining connections between building information modeling (BIM) and geographic information system (GIS) workflows and sharing new system engagement views with more collaborators in ArcGIS GeoBIM. Although customers are benefitting from cloud-to-cloud integrations, others wonder how best to modernize their approaches in order to reduce risk, increase transparency in infrastructure asset delivery, and bridge information gaps between project participants. Come learn how teams from Arcadis, HDR, HNTB, and VolkerWessels are connecting their BIM and GIS data environments that inform stakeholders on progress, easily sharing process views of complex projects and planning sustainable business practices for teams, clients, and the asset lifecycle.

Accelerate Project Delivery: Standardizing Cloud-Connected BIM Coordination

The team of WSP Canada has developed a highly integrated workflow, combining the best of Revit Cloud Worksharing, Design Collaboration, and Model Coordination to optimize the collaboration and coordination workflows. An integrated workflow has been developed on the largest projects, covering both industrial, linear infrastructure, and building projects. Covering 10 to 500 project members working simultaneously, 7,500 model versions are shared with up to 125 task teams during a single project lifetime. All project members are informed of the status of the collaboration and coordination and presented with a uniform coordination overview, all fully automated. Finally, all parts of the workflow were analyzed, documented, and are now standardized. These are made available for use on every new project within WSP globally. The workflow has helped BIM (Building Information Modeling) managers to become 80% more productive and design teams to speed up project execution and enable faster and better project communication.

Automating a Complex Revit Bridge Model with Grasshopper, Dynamo, and Informed Design
This session will outline a workflow for creating a Revit model of a steel composite cable stay bridge by using a combo of Grasshopper, Dynamo, and Informed Design for Inventor software. Modeling a bridge structure poses challenges due to its complex geometry, which adheres to a vertical, horizontal, and super-elevated roadway profile. Consequently, the steel girders, beams, and connection details must align with this 3D roadway profile, complicating the creation and placement of Revit families. For this challenge, COWI used Grasshopper and Dynamo to automate the creation of steel geometry, parameters, and insertion points, ensuring accurate orientation for family placement. Additionally, Informed Design was used to transform various iterations of intricate steel connections into families, which were then positioned using a Dynamo workflow. The integration of visual programming and Informed Design has been vital in efficiently producing complex bridge structures with a focus on Automation, Integration, & Customization.
