Railway projects include many disciplines: rail superstructure, civil works, tunnels, viaducts, road bridges, culverts, systems, and so on. In large-scale international projects, many parties are involved in the design and construction process. And the integration of all information in Autodesk Construction Cloud coming from different tools—such as InfraWorks, Civil 3D, Revit, Navisworks Manage, and Twinmotion—enables the full BIM methodology implementation on a railway project. Autodesk tools also allow stakeholders to manage the project in the real geographical context, and to facilitate the production of photorealistic videos and virtual reality (VR) experiences for stakeholder engagement.

Exceptional construction starts with clarity—clear communication, fewer points of contact, and a streamlined, client-centered experience. Our Operations Driven Design approach builds on that foundation, applying AI and machine learning to performance data captured from satellites, sensors, building systems, and more. From space to site, we translate complex data into actionable insights—informing 3D Digital Prototyping models, AR visualizations, simulations, and environmental trend analysis. This enables smarter planning, climate-resilient strategies, and optimized operations before ground is ever broken. Whether the project is infrastructure, vertical construction, or site development, we bring precision and foresight to every phase. The result? Data-rich design. Predictable performance. A better experience from start to Operations.

Reducing office energy use is crucial for achieving a carbon-neutral society. This session shows how aligning building systems with office usage can lead to significant savings. Activity-Based Working (ABW) offices let workers choose their workspace based on tasks and personal preferences, such as temperature and lighting, enhancing wellness and productivity. By creating varied zones̶cool, warm, bright, and calm̶we support passive energy use and reduce the need for uniform conditioning. Sensors monitor the environment, and data is visualized with Autodesk Tandem to understand and improve workplaces. After implementation, 70% of workers are satisfied with their selected spots, and overall satisfaction rose to 71%. HVAC zoning for diverse environments cut daily thermal energy use by up to 40%. Join us to learn how these strategies can significantly impact your office's energy use and worker satisfaction.

Nashville’s once-in-a-generation water plant upgrade is using cloud tools and virtual reality (VR) to set a new standard for how critical facilities are designed. The ambitious project fits a new modern plant into a complex campus, and, notably, will convert a beautiful 105-year-old filter building into an advanced treatment unit. It will not only establish a climate-resilient water supply for Nashville, but it will also honor the historic site with thoughtful architecture and achieve the highest standards in project Sustainable Design. The design was a multi-year collaborative effort between 10 firms. Autodesk Construction Cloud was the cornerstone, with Revit and Civil 3D models brought together daily in a federated Navisworks model. This talk will cover how the live model accessed through Resolve VR empowered all levels of owner staff to engage in project development in ways not otherwise possible—from O&M teams providing frequent detailed input to City officials quickly understanding the site in broad strokes.

Elevating the digital maturity of our clients' factories, we aim to transform traditional manufacturing practices by transitioning from outdated paper-based drawings to the powerful concept of the Digital Prototyping. We start by scanning the facility to generate a 3D point cloud, which forms the base for architectural and MEP models in Revit software. These are imported into Inventor software, where we design and optimize the production line with machinery, conveyors, and robots. Factory Design Utilities software allows us to quickly build detailed layouts. With Navisworks software, we perform clash detection and offer virtual reality (VR) walk-throughs. FlexSim simulates the workflow to ensure efficiency. For data management, we use Vault Pro software and Autodesk Construction Cloud, while Autodesk Tandem software improves operations. This journey helps clients move beyond outdated systems and embrace the Digital Prototyping and Digital Prototyping.
