This sharing session will touch upon PennDOT's (Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's) innovative initiatives with augmented reality, drone data capture for both design and construction, and its Project Delivery Collaboration Center solution. We currently have multiple pilot projects underway and would like to share our lessons learned and how we plan to tie them all together with a single platform. We plan to make our Project Delivery Collaboration Center solution available this fall. It will provide the backbone for connecting our current legacy systems, future systems, and design collaboration. It is a one-stop shop for the department designers for project file management, workflow, schedule oversight, project health, and more. We plan to cover our work with Datumate, Reconstruct, Elecosoft (Asta) Powerproject, IMAJION, and the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform.

Do you want to learn how to use laser scans in Autodesk's Model Coordination? This session will cover how Miron Construction has cut this process down from weeks to a few hours. We've been using laser scans for 10+ years and have recently started performing laser scanning ourselves. Laser scanning takes a lot of time and effort, and we were missing an efficient way to use the scans in Model Coordination. Linking the laser scan into Revit software and modeling over it is not easy and creates a lot of risk when coordinating with those models. If items are modeled inaccurately, all liability falls back on our team, which is something that Miron Construction's virtual construction team wants to avoid. This session will share how we are using PointFuse to elevate our building information modeling (BIM) coordination outcomes in Model Coordination.

As a virtual design and construction (VDC) manager for a general contractor (GC), one of the largest headaches is making sure your subcontractors get their models uploaded to your Autodesk Construction Cloud hub on time, and that they're named correctly and in the right format to make Model Coordination work seamlessly. What if it didn't have to be that way? If your subcontractors also happened to be working in Autodesk Construction Cloud, it doesn't have to be. What if they just published their own models internally and all the sharing happened automatically? This class will cover how to use the Bridge tool in Autodesk Construction Cloud to enable automatic sharing of models between Autodesk Construction Cloud hubs to streamline model coordination. Not only will we cover how to share models from the subcontractor's hub to the GC hub and then on into your coordination NWF, but we'll also show you how to share models from one subcontractor to another to enable direct coordination between subcontractor Revit models.

Infrastructure projects typically involve multiple disciplines (engineers, contractors, roadways, surveys, drainage) often spread across locations, creating a collaboration challenge. Additionally, large infrastructure projects can be complex, making it hard to track the progress. The Design Collaboration module in Autodesk Construction Cloud can be your solution. It allows design teams to share models, collaborate in real time, track project packages, monitor progress, and much more—all in one centralized location. In this session, we'll cover how infrastructure project teams can use the Design Collaboration module by setting up team spaces while maintaining ownership of data. Learn about the different trust environments—high, medium, and low—ensuring a seamless collaboration experience regardless of the complexity of your project. We will also explore how to use the Bridge feature within Design Collaboration to share project information externally while maintaining control of your information.

There are numerous unique challenges involved in managing a large model environment, and there's a scarcity of documented workflows or solutions to tackle them. This presentation will discuss the issues encountered while managing the Revit models for MEP systems of a new 1.3 million-square-foot hospital, and the innovative solutions that were implemented. Using tools such as Ideate, Clarity, BIM Interoperability Checker, BIM 360 Model Coordination, and others, a powerful BIM 360 model environment was established that was capable of handling the vast amount of data and elements required to document the hospital. This presentation will not present a definitive solution, but rather a foundation for generating additional ideas and workflows for future large projects.

This case study explores how digital transformation happens, starting from the traditional design process and moving to Autodesk Construction Cloud using building information modeling (BIM) tools. It also identifies challenges, the importance of education and training, and the short-term and long-term benefits. The major challenge is the lack of capacity and capability, lack of a common platform, absence of standardization, inconsistencies in workflow and processes, and loss of information. We initiated the transformation by redefining the workflow processes, bringing Autodesk Construction Cloud, standardizing design language and deliverables, creating libraries, and training. This increased adaptation, leading to an increase in efficiency of model development, peer review, design collaboration, design management, and approval by all stakeholders. We were also able to define roles and responsibilities, ensure version control across all stakeholders, and review clash detection, thus improving on-time efficiency, accuracy, and quality of the deliverables by sharing information and collaborating.

Discover how we addressed design collaboration and seamless coordination among numerous designers and contractors in the world's longest immersed tunnel. During the basic design, 700+ models were created in Revit software to define complex elements like fire safety, lighting, ventilation, electrical, and ICA systems. To expedite progress, we implemented automations with Dynamo to swiftly model repetitive elements along the tunnel alignments. This helped us achieve a 70% time reduction in modeling and production costs. Real-time interdisciplinary collaboration was vital, along with streamlining information exchange, which Autodesk Construction Cloud facilitated as the ultimate source of truth for the 30 members involved in developing cloud-based models. IDOM dives into the details of the Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link project during the session, seeking to inspire others by showcasing the remarkable engineering feats and collaborative efforts on a global scale.
