BIM for Highways & Infrastructure

Implementing BIM (Building Information Modeling) for highways and infrastructure by integrating project data within 3D models, to achieve: 
- Better project visualization
- Improved design workflow
- Increased design accuracy and quality
- Better coordination between design disciplines (clash free designs)
- Increased efficiency in delivery production
- Producing 2D and 3D design documentations, quantity take off, construction sequencing.
- Using BIM Software including Autodesk Civil 3D, AutoCAD Utility Design and Revit
