Heathrow Airport is the fourth-busiest airport in the world, serving more than 80 million passengers annually. To improve every journey for our passengers, we need to constantly maintain and produce new assets and related digital asset information. Heathrow's goal is to create a digital ecosystem to harness the value of the data throughout the lifecycle of our assets and become a data-driven organization. We will share how to achieve digital change in a large functioning airport by harmonizing the challenges, technology, people, and processes to attain the expected outcomes and benefits. We'll show how digital transformation and our digitalization approach is minimizing rework, making delivery of our designs safer and faster. Our digital road map will reveal how to use a common data environment (CDE) supported by advanced technology, standards, and a solid training framework. Discover how we create a digital community where we can test new ideas in a real-world setting and help change to be embraced.

Road infrastructure consists of many simple elements—road signs, traffic barriers, traffic lights, and so on. Creating and placing them separately in large infrastructure projects can be very labor intensive. In this technical presentation, we’ll demonstrate how to automate the creation of an intelligent model for road infrastructure using Dynamo scripts and universal Revit families. This class will teach you how to organize a geographic information system (GIS) system of a traffic management plan in Civil 3D software and effectively transfer it to an InfraWorks model. Learn how to set up an effective link between a 2D plan and the consolidated intelligent model in accordance with the information embedded in the vector objects. We’ll also cover the creation of parametric barriers in Inventor software for InfraWorks, and how to apply parametric barriers for component roads in InfraWorks. See a demonstration of the Dynamo script that places barriers on the appropriate position in the consolidated model in accordance with the attributes of the barrier’s points from the 2D plan.

New Terminal One (NTO) is a passenger terminal set to be built at JFK International Airport in New York as part of wider plans to transform JFK into a world-class airport. Upon completion, NTO will be the airport's largest terminal. This session will demonstrate how Robert Bird Group (RBG) engages with project stakeholders, linking schedule data to model elements in an interactive and accessible environment that can be streamed in a web browser using the RBG-developed platform Reveal. Maximizing Navisworks, Revit, 3ds Max, and schedule data, we map the structure program to model elements, generating a connected link for ease of updates. The interactive environment allows any stakeholder to navigate, interrogate, control, and interact with a data-rich real-time model from any angle and at any stage of the construction. This allows users to highlight and adjust built assets that are either completed or under construction in a digitally simulated real-world environment.

VRED software is a renowned tool for automotive renderings and for virtual reality (VR) collaboration to review vehicle designs. Besides its popularity in automotive design, other industries such as manufacturing and engineering have been exploring VRED software's capabilities to showcase products, visualize workspaces, and test assemblies in 3D space. New to VRED 2023.3 is the ability to import metadata from CAD assemblies. Understanding how this extra data flows from one app to another may allow new ways for teams to communicate. This may include keeping track of dates throughout the project lifecycle and categorizing data for easier selection. Visualization designers can collaborate by sharing scene notes, transfer Microsoft Excel data into metadata tags, and convert physical texture sizes. They can work more efficiently, leaving scenegraph nodes unchanged and accessing metadata sets to make geometry and materials visible. Use cases for greater productivity along the digital thread connecting users are limitless.

Bryden Wood is an industry leader in design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA), and the firm's creative tech team specializes in design automation. Bryden Wood partnered with National Highways (UK) to develop Rapid Engineering Model (REM), which automates highway designs in less than 24 hours! This revolutionary approach to road design created genuine sector-wide digital transformation. We combine analysis and risk profiling of site constraints with rules-based placement of infrastructure along the highways network, embedding rigorous design performance standards around road safety, while assessing constructability to minimize operational disruption. REM generates data-driven insights to enable evidence-based decision making, as well as resulting in a 100% auto-generated 3D intelligent model of the highway. In this session, we'll take a drive through the REM digital workflow, the strategic benefits that it provides, and what we've learned from deploying this approach to linear infrastructure design.

Join some of the industry's leading infrastructure owners as we discuss their unique experiences, challenges, and lessons learned while developing and managing data to meet the 365/24/7 demands of an infrastructure owner and their overall journeys to a true and trustworthy digital twin.

The infrastructure design industry has long struggled to minimize environmental impact. Traditional processes cause inefficiencies, hindering early-stage sustainability prioritization. ORIS and Sweco solved this by embedding ORIS's carbon assessment and emissions modeling capabilities into Autodesk Civil 3D software. ORIS's certified calculator streamlines processes, providing comprehensive impact assessments and quantifying embodied carbon emissions for road designs. The innovative plug-in connects drawings to local material sites in ORIS, empowering whole-lifecycle carbon assessments with visualized supply chains. It automates geolocated project generation linked to ORIS's database, identifies quantities per 3D object for bills of materials, and generates accurate carbon footprints based on required materials. Designers can make informed sustainable-sourcing decisions, reducing emissions while promoting local solutions and recycling. This integration solves long-standing sustainability challenges.

Designing timber connections is critical to ensure the structural integrity of timber constructions. An artificial system for designing timber connections would typically involve a combination of computational algorithms, databases of material properties, and engineering principles. Integrating AI systems with a code-checking system in Revit software allows engineers to explore different solutions and be certain of compliance with calculation regulations. Grouping and optimizing nodes, analyzing new node solutions, and automatically creating calculation reports in Revit can greatly reduce modeling and analysis efforts. We will also present a system capable of inserting nodes automatically and designing them according to the calculation actions present in Revit.
