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.

Advanced building information modeling (BIM) processes require us to consider modeling with different lenses: personas interacting on a shared model extracting different BIM uses throughout the different project lifecycle stages. We'll look at the specific case of "tunnel ring segment” modeling and all the phases that have been conducted to a Revit model that is open, universal, and fully parametric so it can be used from bidding to execution and from planners to fabricators. The class will show how Bouygues Travaux Publics went from collecting users' needs to formalizing a specification and developing a Revit family and all its applications in Revit, InfraWorks, Navisworks, and Autodesk Construction Cloud. We'll focus on the benefits realized with the application in a project now in the construction phase.

Projects today need one or several persons to ensure that digitalization, data flow, collaboration, and intelligent models are set up and working. This session will discuss the most-common roles—digital collaboration manager, building information modeling (BIM) manager, and BIM coordinator—and the expectations and responsibilities of these different roles. In addition, we'll look at how Fornebubanen Metro has standardized how nine different BIM coordinators work, how we've managed their different personalities to fit with the standardization, and how they've advanced in practice through a project that has lasted for 12 years and has 10,000 models in BIM 360 and 12 federated models in Navisworks software. We'll see how their work has ensured a model-based project from start to finished construction, and how important their roles are to connect the design to construction. Their work has taken model-based construction to a new level, ensuring more value for all parts of the project.

This session will discuss a company's successful shift from 2D construction to 3D construction. By capitalizing on advanced digital technology, the company was able to transform its traditional 2D construction process into a more efficient and accurate 3D construction process. The new 3D process involves the creation of detailed 3D models using building information modeling (BIM) software, which allows for improved visualization, coordination, and communication between different stakeholders. The use of 3D models enables the company to detect and resolve potential design clashes, constructability issues, and conflicts between building systems before the construction phase, resulting in significant time and cost savings. Furthermore, the use of 3D models allows for more-accurate quantity takeoffs, material planning, and construction scheduling. By implementing 3D construction, the company is able to improve project quality, speed, and cost savings while maintaining high standards of safety and compliance.

Mandai Bird Park Project is an innovative sustainable-construction initiative in Singapore designed to create Asia's largest bird park in a 23-hectaire nature reserve. The design consists of eight massive walk-through aviaries inspired by diverse habitats, 20-meter-tall waterfalls, and an 84-meter-long archway. As part of the Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan, the team had to keep in mind sustainability and preservation goals to minimize changes to the original landscape topology, preserve existing flora and fauna, and replicate a tropical landscape incorporated within the architecture. This intensified the overall construction complexity. The class will show how we fully used building information modeling (BIM) as a single source of truth, reality capture. and cloud platforms, including drone mapping, laser scanning, and 3D surface modeling with Revit, Navisworks, Dynamo, and ReCap software throughout the virtual design and construction (VDC) implementation. This saved us 30% in survey costs, achieved 100% reuse of excavated soil, and prevented the aviaries from clashing with the trees.

DPR Construction has the opportunity to work on some of the biggest projects across the globe. But rooted in the company's culture is a focus on applying excellence to projects of any scale. Small projects bring a set of challenges of their own: tight schedules, limited budget, thinly spread teams, and, most of the time, existing conditions. Virtual design and construction (VDC) can play a big role in delivering successful outcomes, but it takes the right mix of people, process, and technology. Join us for an engaging session where we'll walk through how DPR adapts to the unique challenges of smaller projects. We'll talk about the technology we almost always apply (spoiler: it's reality capture) and what tech we leave at home. And finally, we'll describe the type of person required to overcome small project challenges and how we go beyond collaboration with training, design support, and access to Autodesk tools.

Join us in this presentation as we showcase how we used 4D visual planning, laser scanning, model-based coordination, virtual mockups, and other virtual design and construction (VDC) tools and processes to overcome existing conditions and optimize the renovation process, which included the use of 206 prefabricated bathroom pods, for the 20 Mass Ave project located in Washington, D.C. The former office building is undergoing renovation to become a mixed-use location with retail space and a luxury hotel. By working together as a whole, these tools enabled the project team to streamline communication, reduce errors, and stay on schedule and budget. Don't miss this opportunity to learn practical tips and insights on how to integrate VDC strategies for the successful implementation of prefab and modular strategies in renovation projects.

Four years ago, a major fire broke out in Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral. The French government has given the rebuild five years. To meet the key outcomes around schedule, health, and safety, the project has coordinated the daily presence of various types of workers specialized in restoration activities (archaeologists, carpenters, stone cutters, and so on). This class will focus on how Setec Opency (specializing in construction management) has digitized the execution planning process using 4D building information modeling (BIM) and digital technology, integrating the work sequencing and the opportunity of planning optimization, while minimizing the risk of accidents. Setec Opency will show how it has taken into account multiple constraints: tight deadlines, the configuration of a historical building (large volume, 4,800 square meters, great height), 120 subcontractors, and 400 workers over nine construction phases costing hundreds of millions of euros. See how bringing 4D to the field with VR/XR will help the renaissance of an 800-year-old legacy.

If you're interested in faster and more effective project validation, this class will help you discover how Anas has improved its performance by adopting building information modeling (BIM) design and checking/validation processes for the case study of the new road "SS 340 Tremezzina” in the north-west of Italy's Lake Como. We'll explore the main challenges and benefits obtained by implementing digital processes to manage the design and validation phases within the Italian public contracting authority (Anas), using Revit, Civil 3D, and InfraWorks software for design and Navisworks software for checking/validation via the interoperable Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) format. Finally, we will present the potential applications planned for the construction stage, with the aim of speeding up the contractor's inspection and payment activities, and for the operations and maintenance stage, with the aim of improving the quality of operations using the digital twin.

This session will cover the "bare bones” setup of an Autodesk Docs central file-sharing site with granular permissions for use by a construction team during building information modeling (BIM) coordination. A builder's construction technology manager will demonstrate how Autodesk Collaborate supported by Autodesk add-ins can be used as a shared on-demand syncing tool for teams that still favor Navisworks Manage to run clash detection between a diverse mix of trade partners working both in and out of the cloud. Autodesk technical experts will provide supplementary advice along the way to show how teams can make use of new features in the Autodesk Construction Cloud environment to take this strategy to the next level by removing roadblocks seen in previous versions of the product.

When challenged to manage building information modeling (BIM) on a project the size of a small city, routine project planning is not enough. This case study will show which current BIM management tools and methods work and which ones fail on a real project of 10 million square feet. Spoiler: There were many broken tools and many crashed computers. We'll show how a small but effective BIM and computational team can save hundreds of thousands of dollars through resource management, technological innovation, failure prevention, team upskilling, and cloud collaboration. We'll also touch on how managers can facilitate the use of computational workflows by being a bridge between users and tools. We want you to leave empowered to tackle BIM on projects of any size and any scale while also knowing how to evolve these methods for the future.

Design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) principles play an integral part in the development of prefabrication and modular building construction projects. In this class, we'll discuss specific lessons learned in applying DfMA to building construction for designers, construction managers, and trade partners. Using examples from recent projects, we'll explore the processes and tools used to make DfMA successful. We'll highlight the best practices and strategies for implementing DfMA to projects all along the spectrum of prefabrication, from single trade assemblies to full structural volumetric modules, and how we're pushing the boundaries in utilizing Revit, Navisworks, and Autodesk Construction Cloud in the design of industrialized construction projects. By the end of the presentation, you will have a deeper understanding of the DfMA rules and rails for building construction and how to apply them to your own projects.

The "Canal do Sertão Alagoano" is an important initiative of the Brazilian government that aims to combat drought by providing access to water for various purposes, such as rural and urban human consumption, livestock watering, and irrigation. The successful implementation of this project can serve as a model for other regions facing similar challenges. In this session, you'll learn more about the implementation of the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) in a 27 km section of an open channel design. We'll highlight the collaboration between the design and construction teams and the clients through a common data environment (CDE). We'll discuss the complexity of 3D modeling for open channels in AutoCAD Civil 3D software, the use of Subassembly Composer to automate channel sections with multilayered earth fill, and the use of self-adjusting earth embankments to accommodate different soil materials. We'll also cover the use of Dynamo for minor automation and Navisworks software for design simulation.

Fornebu Metro Line is an ongoing metro line project in Oslo, Norway, connecting Fornebu with the existing Oslo City metro line through 8 km of tunnel and 200,000+ cubic meters of concrete split into six different metro stations and a service area. The majority of the concrete elements are cast in place. The elements vary from standard 200 mm inner walls reinforced in both directions on both sides to slabs and walls modeled in Revit that are 2.3 meters in thickness with several layers of reinforcement. Construction on the tunnels is ongoing. The stations are currently in the tender process with construction planned to begin in 2024/2025. As Norwegian governmental agencies want to stimulate innovation in the industries they interact with, Fornebu Metro Line has ambitions to produce project deliverables on a zero-drawing platform using Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and DWGs™. The main building information modeling (BIM) viewers are Navisworks software and Solibri. BIM 360 software is being used for coordination and review.

This presentation will be a case study of the award-winning Calgary Cancer Centre (CCC). This project entails a tower and podium and has a $1.4 billion budget. We will examine the integration of digital modeling and cloud collaboration processes involved in delivering an award-winning building. Our main challenges were communicating effectively between the project team(s) during the design-build process, and effectively using cloud-based platforms to optimal efficiency to provide our deliverables. There was an extensive scope that we had to deliver on time and within budget. The project team had to determine a workflow to manage more than 90 Revit models via the cloud platform (BIM 360 software). The cloud infrastructure enabled us to effectively communicate with internal and external project teams to exchange information. The presentation will be full of many simple yet effective examples to help elevate your workflow and efficiency levels.

With many projects being vastly different from one another, it can be hard to figure out what exactly your BIM (Building Information Modeling) and virtual design and construction (VDC) needs will be for your project. AECOM Hunt has had the fortune to work on and coordinate many different projects. We have learned that, while perhaps similar, no 2 projects or teams are the same, and that each must be handled uniquely. During this course we will share our experiences on 4 projects: Little Caesars Arena, home of the Detroit Redwings; Aloft Magnificent Mile, Chicago; Mount Carmel Hospital, Grove City; and Kite Pharma-Cell Therapy. Other topics will include BIM (Building Information Modeling) stages such as coordination, completion, and turnover.

During this Instructional Demo, you will be guided through a workflow to create a 4D planning within Navisworks. The workflow will be presented using 3 case studies of infrastructure projects within the Netherlands. The overall benefit of 4D planning in construction projects is the awareness of time-related clashes in advance, instead of encountering them on the construction site. However, the underlying motive to use 4D planning is slightly different in every project. In addition, every project encounters different challenges, phases and objects. The application of a 4D planning in our case studies in a nutshell: 1) Maintenance on Schiphol Airport: Heijmans is responsible for the maintenance of several runways, airstrips and taxiways on Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands. 4D planning is used to visualise different scenarios in the availability of runways, airstrips and taxiways and to tackle high risk areas during activities. Besides these applications, the 4D planning is a central element during daily stands to discuss the planning and the risk areas for that day; 2) Provincial road N280: this project comprehends a reconstruction of the main road in Roermond, including the construction of an underpass using the existing intersection. The 4D planning is used to generate site plans of activities and potential clashes in time; 3) Expansion of the Beatrix-lock: the threat of a nautical bottleneck due to the increasement of shipping required an expansion of the Lekkanaal and the construction of a third lock. In this project a 4D planning visualised different construction phases with extra attention to high-risk activities, such as the placement of the new lock gates. The 3D model and planning are also used for a 3D print of the lock with monthly renewed aerial photographs as a base. This 3D print was the key element for lean planning sessions. This Instructional Demo highlights the essential steps and best practices in the workflow to generate an added-value 4D planning as used for above-mentioned projects. The workflow starts in the design phase with encoding your objects in your 3D model, since this is one of the most important steps in the process. After that, a demo will guide you to the steps of how to create the link in Navisworks between your planning and 3D model. To end the demo, a short instruction on how to generate a simulation of the created 4D planning will be provided.

Are you a BIM professional looking to get more out of Navisworks software? As you probably know, BIM workflows can vary greatly from firm to firm, creating large gaps between the generalized functionality of mass-market BIM software and the custom needs of a particular group. Enter the world of programming. Daunting as it may seem for people who have never written a line of code, with some effort you can be writing Navisworks add-ins in 6 weeks or less. We'll be focusing on 3 main topics: a high-level overview of the API structure, a case study of a real-world plug-in built by Brasfield & Gorrie to track issues in the coordination process, and some helpful resources to get you started coding and writing your own plug-ins. You'll leave with inspiration and ideas for your own coding projects, along with confidence to take the next step.

Owner requirements are becoming more demanding. Designs are becoming more complex. The shortage of skilled labor continues to grow. And, meanwhile, construction's poor productivity rates fail to improve. How do we respond to this challenging industry landscape? So much of the conversation has revolved around BIM (Building Information Modeling); however, BIM is not the answer. It is, however, the beginning of the answer. In this session, we will explore how BIM, if properly implemented, can become a powerful enabler of efficiently and elegantly executed projects. We will dive into scan-to-BIM workflows, automated field construction, prefabrication, and industrialized construction. By drawing on experience implementing BIM on more than 500-plus projects, we’ll reveal trends and highlight successes and failures, so attendees will leave with a greater understanding of how to make the most of their intelligent models. Get a glimpse into life after BIM.

The project consists of a pumped-storage hydroelectric plant in Morocco of 284 million euros. The water stored in an uphill tank will be released into a 3-kilometre transfer line (penstock and galleries) and travel on a natural slope to a tank about 550 meters downhill. A 350 MW hydroelectric plant will be built along the penstock between the 2 reservoirs. The reversible plant will generate electricity when operating in turbine mode and pump water from the lower to the upper reservoir in pumping mode. The system will thus generate renewable energy on demand. The system can be switched between pumping and turbine mode up to 20 times a day, depending on the amount of surplus electricity available or the needs of the Moroccan electricity grid. This class will focus on the plant and the project BIM challenges and goals. I will explain the different actors, their scope of work, their tools, and the different software uses. I will also explain how this new way of working was implemented even if all actors had never completed a BIM project before. The main obstacles of the project, concerning digital and interoperability will be highlighted and explained. The class will review all experiments that have been done to achieve 2 main goals: allow a good model integration in the design software despite their differences and produce correct 2D plans. The class will show how Revit can integrate mechanical files made by Siemens NX through .sat files and Inventor, and the best practices and ways to integrate the models correctly. It will also show the reverse way how the mechanical software can integrate Revit files. It will present a workflow to integrate all models into Navisworks through Revit to be able to do classic 3D coordination. The presentation will conclude with the main benefits of doing 3D models instead of 2D even through a huge and long workflow.
