Future-ready infrastructure starts in the connected cloud

Successful infrastructure projects are built on the clarity and collaboration made possible in the cloud-based, common data environment.

Our comprehensive design authoring solutions integrate Geographic Information System (GIS) data with Building Information Modeling (BIM).

The results? The data-driven insights infrastructure owners need for optimized operational efficiency, significant cost savings, and higher performing, highly sustainable projects.

Solutions to enable collaboration, transparency, and control

BIM for Civil Engineering

Create resilient infrastructure with connected BIM

BIM is the foundation of digital transformation. By equipping every stakeholder to make more informed decisions across the project lifecycle, the BIM process helps optimize workflows, improve operational efficiency, and reduce project risks.

 

Using BIM, teams can successfully account for real-world conditions for improved model accuracy, all while collaborating seamlessly across teams.


BIM and GIS cloud

Put project information in geospatial context

BIM and GIS cloud collaboration makes it easy for teams to explore and collaborate on project information with geospatial context.

 

This has significant implications for project teams, including improved design review, visualization, and exploration. Teams can also rapidly map and manage issues as they emerge, and by connecting documentations to relevant ArcGIS features, they can securely and efficiently track project updates.


Open BIM - Project team discussing positive results

A centralized source of truth for every stakeholder

Digital project delivery lets you connect people, data, and processes across the project lifecycle in a common data environment.

 

Integrate live, multi-discipline data, including BIM and GIS and open the door to automation and workflows that improve accuracy, connect dispersed teams and enable real-time collaboration.


BIM for civil engineering

Interoperability and open standards

Achieve stakeholder requirements by integrating open IFC standards and adhering to ISO 19650 for information management. Embracing these standards offers the benefits of enhanced stakeholder collaboration, seamless interoperability, a unified interconnected environment, and effective long-term asset management.
