Utilization of Autodesk InfraWorks in Project Visualization

Utilization of Autodesk InfraWorks in Project Visualization

Customer challenge

The City of Tampere produces a variety of 3D data, and the aim is to produce it in a way that facilitates the integration and presentation of the current situation and the world of future plans. The city seeks to share, for example, the city model and other material through open data. Plan consultants and current status data can also be utilized by external consultants and projects.

Project goals

"We decided to implement Autodesk InfraWorks software to visualize urban service and land use planning, sketching and displaying plans at design meetings or residents' events. That way, the city's 3D models can also be presented in development projects and various workshops", says designer and data model coordinator Rodrigo Coloma from the City of Tampere.

Solution

Two (2) valuable solutions were deployed: 1) Successful implementation of Autodesk Infraworks software and the Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) Collection. 2) Specific training sessions and support services from Arkance Systems have been provided to facilitate this project.

Business outcome

Rodrigo Coloma, City of Tampere: "We are working to harmonize the way we operate in the City of Tampere and create a unified planning environment where we have information management, guidelines and other things in order."

Conclusion

Autodesk InfraWorks is especially well-suited for pre-design. At the beginning of the design process, you can immediately sketch different options and easily compare them.

BIM to the Construction Site Along With BIM Quality Management

"Making our engineers aware of what they are doing was the main reason for me to implement BIM 360 Build at PENDIK Projects," says Spencer Hellegering, head of the Projects department at the Veenendaal-based installer. Originally founded in 2006, PENDIK is a service company. With around 8,000 to 10,000 service contracts, mainly through housing associations and property managers, PENDIK was particularly strong in responding to complaints and reports. Setting up a Projects Department within an originally service-oriented company was quite a challenge. Hellegering: "The working method of a service company is very different. As a service company, you need different knowledge of installation technology than you do for new construction and renovation projects. The staff have to start thinking differently. We used to go to a leak and fix it. But now we have to make sure it doesn't leak!" PENDIK now employs around 40 people, 20 of whom work in the Projects Department.


Gare Maritime as a Showpiece of Study Techniques with Focus on Sustainability

Boydens Engineering is a construction engineering and design office active in the conceptualisation, design and control of technical building installations. They explicitly and with a great sense of responsibility strive for sustainable and energy-neutral buildings. Kurt Corvers, operational director and partner at Boydens Engineering, explains how his engineering office converts concepts into sustainable designs and how Arkance Systems helps them do so. Their latest showpiece is the office space 'Gare Maritime' on the Brussels site of Tour & Taxis.


Communication on site via BIM 360

As one of the largest construction companies in Flanders, MBG stands out for its sense of innovation. In order to optimise their complex Design and Build projects, MBG is investing heavily in the digitisation of their building sites. With Autodesk BIM 360, they have a powerful tool that makes 'bimming' on the building site more accessible and easier. In 2018, the then project manager Nelis Van Loock was appointed BIM Coordinator to streamline everything and put the BIM 360 platform into practice on the site.
