This session will look at a process with an in-house tool developed among other things with Autodesk Platform Services technologies allowing users to inject a Revit /IFC model into Power BI in just minutes, in order to visualize and exploit the data for different use cases (engineering and site work team). In this session, we'll view and export Bill of Quantities, check the data (automatic coloration depending of the value of the data), link to another database as an SOA (schedule of accommodation) to compare with the model and track it, and link to the schedule of the project to do a "4D."

Virtual reality (VR) is often used as a tool to present a visualization of the final situation to a project team or the client. Within Dura Vermeer, however, VR is also used in another way: to hold virtual safety sessions. After all, in VR it is actually possible to "experience" an unsafe situation on the construction site. Based on the 4D model—which includes equipment, temporary situations, safety zones, and work zones—an export is made to VR. The foreperson and safety personnel use this VR model during a virtual safety session to investigate whether the project can be built safely. During this industry talk, we'll take you through Dura Vermeer's current processes for creating a VR model, and show you how we use VR to test whether we can construct a project safely. In addition, Dura Vermeer will be joined by a representative of Autodesk's XR team to discuss how Autodesk Workshop XR software is streamlining workflows and advancing this use case on active projects.

Ever wondered how to couple sustainability and technical excellence for infrastructure design? We all know the answer: The earlier we start, the greater impact we can have. But how do we do so with little information? For this challenge, we're developing a new module—Carbon Baseline calculation—for our existing digital solution CARBONTRACKER (Autodesk Platform Services). The added value is clear: Very early in the project, have easy-to-use ratios for assets and inform all stakeholders of their project carbon impact, which leads to optioneering as design evolves. Finally, no other tool is needed for thorough simulations: CARBONTRACKER was developed for detailed design. In our session, you'll discover its use for transport projects within a lifecycle approach, optimization of design time and effort, and decision-making fostering. Sustainability should matter for all project phases. This new module pushes our cultural shift toward sustainability for all, since everybody is part of the sustainable solution!
