Sewer pipelines are buried and out of sight. They are underinvested in and rapidly deteriorating. There are millions of miles of sewer pipelines that require monitoring to determine the condition and performance of this critical infrastructure. The principal method that utilities use involves closed-circuit television (CCTV) mounted video cameras on crawler units. Video and photographs of the insides of pipes are interpreted by engineers trained in the art of sewer pipeline defect recognition. This time-consuming and expensive process usually carried out in the field is increasingly being challenged by the use of AI and machine learning (ML) image detection and recognition techniques. See how the integration of Autodesk's Info360 Asset SaaS asset management product and VAPAR AI/ML tools will transform the assessment of sewer pipeline conditions, leading to huge cost and efficiency savings and productivity gains. Learn how these inspections are used to identify failure modes and determine the likelihood of failure and remaining life of assets.

Aging infrastructure combined with limited funding and tightening regulations are causing great stress on water networks. Water assets are considered critical based on their likelihood and consequence of failure. The consequence of a critical pipe failure could lead to outages, severely disrupting daily activities and access to drinking water—in addition to the financial implications associated with property damage, road closures, and manufacturing disruptions. The path toward mitigating such risk starts with hydraulic modeling in conjunction with sound asset-management practices built into Info360 Asset software. In this session, we'll showcase InfoWorks WS Pro software's critical link analysis to automate criticality simulations, where areas of the network are isolated, and the corresponding level of service impacts are reported. Next, we'll make this data available in Info360 Asset to perform risk analysis, develop rehabilitation decision trees, and ultimately prioritize capital spending.

As a İstanbul Metro, we integrate data from SCADA and energy management systems with digital twins. With our digital-twin project, we save time spent on maintenance. We also save on costs by providing analysis on high energy consumption values. We used Autodesk Tandem software to create the digital-twin platform. Using the digital-twin project, we use intelligent models effectively in our operational processes. Through digital twins, we gain efficiency of up to 37.5% and cost savings of up to 25% in operation and maintenance processes.

The profound shift toward flexible work in recent years has significantly changed the way we use buildings. Owners and operators are under immense pressure to support the core business and achieve sustainability targets while keeping costs down, but most lack the big-picture utilization data they need to inform short- and long-term portfolio planning. Using proprietary worktech data, we've analyzed global trends in workspace and physical asset use over the past several quarters to identify emerging patterns in operations and occupant behaviors. The analysis uncovers four preeminent tensions businesses are navigating in today's workplaces. Session participants will learn what changes are occurring across three core regions (Americas, EMEA, and APAC), and how organizations are leveraging this information alongside dynamic building models to meet goals at all phases of the building life cycle.

In June 2019, the Miami-Dade County Commission adopted a new capital improvement program at Miami International Airport (MIA) that will fund up to $5.2 billion in airport-wide modernization projects over the next 5 to 15 years. This paves the way for future growth in passenger and cargo traffic at MIA, which is projected to serve 77 million travelers and more than 4 million tons of freight by the year 2040. The comprehensive plan includes developing a strategy to digitally transform the way design consultants and contractors develop their projects using building information modeling (BIM), including the asset information that eventually will be handed over to MIA so it can be integrated with an enterprise asset management system for future operations and maintenance. This lecture will include the overall strategy to ensure all project information follows MIA standards to produce data consistently.

With a campus in rural Rwanda—more than 100 kilometers from the capital Kigali, half of which is unpaved road—the University of Global Health Equity (UGHE) always planned to deploy BIM 360 Ops software to support and sustain facility maintenance functions. A pioneering global health science university, UGHE had proactive facilities maintenance as a top priority when opening their campus in January 2019. In April 2020, our team helped to facilitate the launch of BIM 360 Ops during COVID-19. Working remotely with UGHE’s facilities maintenance team, Skanska uploaded information to support the computerized maintenance management system. Using BIM 360 Ops, UGHE’s staff and outsourced service contractors share maintenance information across the 350,000-square-foot campus for an integrated facilities maintenance system. Attendees will learn best practices for asset and space naming, traditional and alternative strategies for managing preventative maintenance, and ways in which to virtually deploy BIM 360 Ops during COVID-19.

Luxembourg railway owner began its digital transformation journey in 2017, improving quality and efficiency for construction projects through cloud-based project delivery. There are many main subjects for asset management, including maintenance building, earthworks platform, permanent way, overhead lines, signaling, and telecommunications. One specific aspect to the country is to have external project design offices and many subcontractors, using multidisciplinary design management based on Autodesk technologies, including Revit, Civil 3D, Inventor, InfraWorks, and Forma Design Collaborationducts. The geographical aspect is taken into consideration through connected building information modeling (BIM) and geographic information system (GIS). During this class, you will discover why a common data environment platform and products ecosystem save time and information for the delivery plan, and support supply chains, and how process owner mandates can be imposed on local markets, and what solutions are found to develop a business model dedicated to railway infrastructure.

The world is moving from dead to live information. In the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, this means a number of changes. One of the biggest ones is the disappearance of drawings caused by the availability of model data. The main drivers for this change are model-based construction and model-based operations and maintenance. Contractors and building owners are now requiring vast amounts of standardized and consistent data as part of their design team's deliveries. The problem everyone faces in this change is that the tools used for creating this data are file-based systems made for delivering consistent drawing sets. Instead of displaying three parameters in a tag on a drawing accompanied by a schedule in Revit software, design teams’ need to deliver hundreds of consistent properties connected with model elements across contracts. In this talk, we’ll go through how design teams can adjust their processes to adapt to this change, and how contractors and building owners can manage it effectively.

BIM is no longer a buzzword, but are we using its full potential? BIM still sits comfortably as a sophisticated 3D modeling tool, while it is meant to do more—much more. Are we using it as a catalyst to our workflow or a glorified tool to generate models, coordinate between disciplines, and produce drawings. And then? That’s it. The rich data embedded in those models is often ignored, unlinked, or siloed. It’s time to get serious, understand its impact on project lifecycle, and learn about the ROI it can provide to its stakeholders. Let’s see how BIM can work harder for you, turning it from a cost center into a value generator.
