The Future of Civil Design & Construction with BIM
This business-leadership-level webcast will lay the groundwork for the series. The process of civil engineering design and heavy construction, especially for roads, highways, and urban transportation projects, is being transformed. This shift is having a dramatic impact on design and construction processes and on what owners are looking for from consultants. In this webcast you will learn about the changes in the industry and how your organization can leverage BIM to address them.

Visualizing Civil Designs with the Power of BIM
Every design has a story to tell, and design visualization is the key to telling that story in a compelling fashion. Whether you are taking designs through review and approval processes or soliciting public comment, impressive design visualizations can make a difference. And, working in a BIM environment makes using visualization as part of the design process much more accessible. Through project examples, learn how design visualization plays a role throughout a project from exploring project alternatives, to validating designs, to communicating design intent to project stakeholders, to winning more work for your organization.

Leveraging BIM for Workflows that Cross CADD Boundaries
Engineers obtain 2D and 3D data from many sources, including utility companies, government agencies, and private stakeholders. This webcast will show how you can work in a mixed software environment that uses and integrates data from many sources and types. Hear from industry experts and practitioners about how they assimilate information from different platforms to create a coordinated, consistent model that is used for design, analysis, and simulation.

BIM and Sustainability for Roadway Drainage Design
While much of the focus on sustainable design practices has been on buildings, the civil engineering community is showing it can make significant contributions to diminishing the environmental impact of the built environment, particularly roads and highways. In this presentation, we will discuss key trends in sustainable design, review sustainable design approaches, and show how working in a BIM environment enhances the delivery of more sustainable designs. Through examples you will see how working in a model-based environment facilitates the drainage design process, one of the ways engineers can impact the sustainability of roads and highways.

Beyond “Green”: Building Designs That Work
The successful creation of high-performance buildings demands accurate prediction of energy consumption, CO2 emissions, operating costs, and occupant comfort. In this webcast, Dru Crawley, leader of the Department of Commercial Building Initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy, will discuss how his organization is leveraging modern technology to improve building performance. In addition, Noah Eckhouse of Bentley Systems will explore how industry-leading energy design, simulation, and analysis software applications are providing today’s professionals with the necessary tools to effectively optimize the balance of function, comfort, and energy and carbon impact and help building teams sustain our environment. Both presenters will share a number of real-world design scenarios explored and validated, and discuss the realized benefits.

Civil Information Modeling for Transportation Infrastructure
Increasing demands have made advanced 3D modeling a priority for civil engineers and the construction industry. During this webcast, Bentley’s technology experts will highlight two of its civil engineering solutions, Bentley InRoads and ProjectWise Navigator, and demonstrate how to create intelligent, data rich models for Civil Information Modeling. You’ll learn how Bentley InRoads provides highly accurate, interactive parametric modeling with patented Roadway Designer technology. You’ll discover how ProjectWise Navigator enables users to view models in 3D; combines models for more comprehensive designs; and delivers tools for virtual walk-throughs, identification and documentation of issues, and visual or automated clash detection.

Collaboration: Technology Imperatives for Transportation Design
Transportation agencies, their consultants and contractors face tremendous opportunities and challenges in today’s infrastructure market. Although the economic stimulus package provides monetary funding toward new infrastructure construction and the rehabilitation of existing roads, today’s economic climate places increased significance on increasing quality with accelerated project timelines. How do government agencies, their consultants and contractors optimize their workflows and collaborative processes throughout an infrastructure project’s lifecycle? This webcast will explore how approaches based on 3D model based design support improvements in project quality, as well as cost- and time-saving practices including: better coordination to expedite project review, survey data integration, GPS machine control, enhanced communications through visualization, and more.

Collaborate to Succeed
A trio of dynamic presenters explore how improved collaboration can yield significant benefits to transportation projects and stakeholders such as cost- and time-savings, optimizing the use of project data throughout the project’s lifecycle, and maximizing the impact of 3D model-based design processes. Autodesk’s Doug Eberhard discusses why civil engineers are pressured to reexamine their traditional workflows and technologies, and what trends are surfacing in response. Doyle L. Smith Jr., P.E., Kleinfelder, describes his experience on a complex project with a tight deadline that exemplifies how efficient collaboration can produce better designs and more useful digital data. Finally Autodesk’s Lucy Kuhns shows technology in action, underscoring how 3D design solutions facilitate more effective collaboration among project stakeholders to enable more accurate and higher-quality road design projects that can be delivered faster and within budget.
