Through real-world examples, we'll demonstrate the steps and outcomes of adopting Autodesk's comprehensive data ecosystem, highlighting the seamless flow of information and its impact on project success.

This case study will explore the first-ever commercial drone operations permitted within the rim of the Grand Canyon, and how the imagery captured was used to inform a critical water infrastructure project. Grand Canyon National Park, in Northern Arizona, is considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world. It encompasses an impressive 278 miles of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands and averages more than 10 miles wide. To support work to modernize the Grand Canyon Water System—which serves thousands of residents and millions of annual visitors—we used drones, surveying, and LiDAR technology to acquire high-resolution orthomosaic images and point clouds. In this digital transformation success story, we also employed Autodesk tools such as AutoCAD Civil, ReCap, Revit, and other Autodesk products.

Increasing need for data and AI is creating unprecedented demand for data-center capacity, while social and regulatory pressure demands reduced energy and water consumption. Serial hyperscale, co- location, and "edge" clients are driving innovation in design and industrialization, using digital libraries of configurable, scalable solutions for repeatable, standardized designs that can be amended to suit local codes and site constraints. Benefits include that solutions capture and optimize for a wide range of stakeholder needs. In addition, creating rules-based relationships allows design automation, and site-specific designs are created in hours. The approach facilitates supply chain input—using standard products reduces lead times and alleviates pressure on suppliers. Individual elements can be refined "offline" and reintroduced when ready—critical for bringing in new technology for cooling and decarbonization without total redesign. Automotive does this well, leading to continual improvement, not constant reinvention.

Utilities, retailers, hospital operators, towercos, and other companies may need to digitalize large portfolios with thousands of existing facilities to complete their digital journeys—either to fully benefit from building information modeling (BIM) in design and construction or as a first step for the creation of their digital twins. Those same companies typically have an inventory database that is either incorrect or incomplete, but that has value nonetheless, since it may be used to connect said assets with other enterprise solutions, including maintenance and operations management. In this technical instruction session, we will present a workflow for the end-to-end digitalization of a portfolio of facilities using a component-based approach. This workflow starts with any existing inventory, uses it in Autodesk Construction Cloud Assets and Forms to capture on-site data, then switches to Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro software and Autodesk Docs software for the intelligent modeling of the facilities, and then again moves back to the Assets functionality for audit and validation.

As a partner to Delta Air Lines, Burns & McDonnell (BMcD) reached for the sky on this unique terminal design. The program began as a renovation of the existing terminals and evolved into the design of a brand-new consolidated terminal, which included four concourses, a head house, a taxi stack, and a parking garage. In this endeavor, BMcD joined forces with the client, the subconsultants, and the construction manager for a true collaboration. BMcD used an array of Autodesk products across the entire program lifecycle, from design through construction, at the heart of which was Autodesk Construction Cloud. Autodesk Construction Cloud enabled BMcD and 25 subconsultants to work seamlessly and efficiently on a single platform, across multiple office locations, and through a pandemic. Keeping the terminals fully operational continuously through construction was critical. This project was only possible with the entire team engaged in real time on Autodesk Construction Cloud. In the end, the ability to collaborate allowed for an efficient and prestigious design deliverable.

Copachisa is a general contractor of projects ranging from 100,000 sq. ft. to 1 million sq. ft. from schematic design to as-built documentation. In this session, we will share our experience moving forward working in a collaborative environment using Autodesk Construction Cloud. Before the pandemic, we usually worked with our information in a physical server. Due the necessity of working remotely, we decided to use BIM 360 software. The challenge was to move 40+ subcontractors and about 42 active projects very quickly (roughly two weeks). The most relevant part was first training the design teams, and then the whole organization. In a short time, we noticed the benefits of working in a web-based environment—for instance, extracting project data to conduct analytics—so we decided to expand our design workflows to precon and construction teams covering the entire project lifecycle. In 2023, we're redefining our internal processes, and by the beginning of 2024, the complete project cycle will be running in this environment.

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is undergoing a transformation in the way we design and construct our built environment. Two key drivers have been the adoption of digital delivery and building information modeling (BIM), and while these disciplines are often viewed as separate entities, they are, in fact, closely interconnected and mutually reinforcing. With the ability to integrate technology and data-driven insights, project teams can deliver better, faster, and smarter to meet the evolving demands of our stakeholders. In this presentation, we will explore how integrating BIM and digital delivery can result in tangible efficiencies resulting in better decision making and savings in cost and schedule. Using a case study from a major $9 billion transportation project in the United States, we will look at the integration of technology, people, and processes, and how maximizing information management practices, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Autodesk Platform Services can provide the results you need rather than accepting out-of-the-box solutions.

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.
