Realize the Future of Making Things with a Product Innovation Platform

Like all manufacturers, you compete in the marketplace for customers. You can compete based on any number of factors, including price. But the most sustainable, and profitable, advantage comes when you establish competitive separation based on unique core competences—which enables you to offer highly differentiated, innovative products and processes that no competitor can match.

BIM Workflow for Civil Projects

The move toward a complete Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow on civil infrastructure projects requires a high degree of commitment. The change is significant, but the rewards far outweigh the initial investment and are compounded as your firm becomes more proficient.

AEC Building Design: Rethinking Design

Technology has had a profound impact on the building industry. Architects, engineers, and contractors are now incorporating BIM across the lifecycle of their building projects, from early-stage design to building operations and maintenance.

Implementing BIM for Infrastructure

See how your processes and approach to projects change as you adopt BIM.

10 Things to Know About IoT

We’ve listed 10 things that leaders should know about the industrial Internet of Things.

4 Trends that are Transforming Utility Infrastructure Design and Management

Explore how new technologies and concepts are changing the way our changing utilities infrastructure is designed and managed.

TEACHING INFRASTRUCTURE TO DO MORE, BETTER, WITH LESS

How can infrastructure account for a future that accommodates not just demographic pressures, but the uncertainty of a changing climate and the increasing need to reduce environmental impact and stretch increasingly scarce raw materials? In other words, how can we do more, better, with less?

The digitalization of Infrastructure

BIM in the era of connection is the process by which focus is placed on the right way to increase infrastructure—by taking into account the inter dependency of all adjacent infrastructure systems and the costs over the life-cycle of that system—all targeted to help future-proof that system for growth, adaption and resiliency.

BUILDING THE FUTURE: KEEPING UP WITH A GROWING URBAN POPULATION

The shift to more urban living means cities will need more housing and infrastructure. That need presents both an opportunity and a challenge for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals. They get to design, plan and build more, but they have to do it on a planet with already stressed resources.

Expanding Cities: The urgent need for bridge design & maintenance

With so many bridges in need of building, upgrading, updating, or replacing, making the bridge design process more efficient, cost-effective and collaborative is a priority for civil engineers everywhere.

CONNECTED BIM FOR BUILDING DESIGN: IMPROVED PROJECT INSIGHT WITH THE CLOUD

The concept of Connected BIM anticipates the computational future of the building industry. Cloud technology will enable more powerful tools to support a broader range of building activities across the design, procurement, construction, and asset operation life-cycle, with two very important effects.
