Michael Baker Uses Digital Tools to Streamline Bridge Design
Course Information
The digital delivery transformation in infrastructure opens exciting opportunities for consulting engineering firms, but still presents many challenges. As the industry moves toward digitalization, state DOTs and other organizations face a critical question: how do contractors and other stakeholders utilize project information in a model without radically shifting the roles and skills of project managers, pre-construction engineers and site foremen?
The answer, according to Michael Baker International, is model-centric design and delivery. Instead of trying to shift from CAD to BIM overnight, Michael Baker uses model-based practices to deliver better CAD documents, meeting clients’ needs today while preparing their workflows and staff for a digital future. Using BIM-to-CAD model authoring tools, Michael Baker teams are now pursuing model-centric design in more than 25 states and working closely with software providers to build workflows bridging multiple vendors and disciplines.
Join experts from Michael Baker and their software partners at ALLPLAN to learn how they’ve worked together to build the tools and workflows for an accessible and scalable model-based design approach and hear why every engineering firm needs to get a jump start on digital delivery before it becomes a requirement.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how to implement model-centric design as a stepping stone to digital delivery
- See how vendor partnerships are crucial in building workflows to drive business outcomes
- Learn what “open interoperability” means for projects both today and tomorrow
- Understand how more-diverse tools can enhance and differentiate bridge designers from the competition
