Agenda:
A special presentation by Craig Jamision, CADD Manager I, of Parsons Brinkerhoff - Tempe the 2009 Be Inspired Winner for Innovation in Rail and Transit. As a general engineering consultant for this 20-mile light rail system linking downtown Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa, Arizona, Parsons Brinckerhoff led a diverse group of seven primary design sub-consultants and 56 sub-subconsultants to deliver the project in six years. The civil portion included contracts for five line sections, seven park-and-rides for 26 stations, one 1,500-foot-long bridge, and a maintenance and storage facility. The design team was comprised of more than 250 local and national experts experienced in the use of Bentley products. When the client required the job to be completed using Autodesk products, however, Parsons Brinckerhoff proposed using MicroStation but delivering the finished design in DWG file format. The $1.4 billion light rail system was in full service by December 2008. http://connected.bentley.com/viewSeminars.aspx?BEC_SS_ID=197



BIM for Construction - Design Review and Construction Planning

Agenda: info@thecadacademy.com
This session focuses on how building-project design information is frequently authored in multiple applications by many different participants. Coordinating this information into a common application for an efficient design review can provide important benefits to the project team. The presentation demonstrates how Bentley products are used on building projects to incorporate information from various vendor applications to develop a coordinated model for design review and to plan construction. Two building case studies show how ProjectWise Navigator is used to perform virtual mockup reviews, plan construction sequences, and perform detailed 3D design coordination through clash detection. http://connected.bentley.com/viewSeminars.aspx?BEC_SS_ID=36

Agenda:
A special presentation by Derek Rayner, Principal, of KASL Consulting Engineers - the 2009 Be Inspired Winner for Innovation in Cadastre and Land Development. A new fire station in the Sacramento, California area provides medical aide, fire suppression, hazardous materials response, and other emergency services to the region. The $4.5 million structure required significant soil excavation, drainage reconfiguration, and retaining walls. Earthwork and grading minimized the visual impact of the 15,000-square-foot, 30-foot-high building while retaining as many trees as possible. The project team used InRoads to generate profiles and resolve conflicts; 3D PDFs and Google Earth to create structural sections; and a Google SketchUp building model referenced from the architect. Digital terrain models were used to determine earthwork quantities and create contouring. CivilStorm was used to analyze the detention pond, outlet structure, and storm drain utilities, and Transoft’s AutoTurn was used to verify adequate sizing to accommodate turning radius and circulation patterns of emergency vehicles. http://connected.bentley.com/viewSeminars.aspx?BEC_SS_ID=208
