"I still remember standing on the terrace of a little old house with a fantastic view of Porto’s rooftops.”

“These are the lines that should be completed using the BIM processes. Here, there must be a shared BIM infrastructure to be used not only in design processes but also for engineering analysis. We have to provide a shared working platform for interdisciplinary collaborations.”

“The plan was to add redundancy and capacity so it could better handle the algal toxins."

“We’re not looking to print all 30,000 pieces. Instead, we’re being very realistic. We’re focused on production opportunities where we can provide a business value for GM and for the customer. For us, it’s not about what you can do; it’s about what you should do.”

“We’re making provisions for future use, trying to be forward-thinking so that the building itself is not obsolete the day we open it up.”

“We had to determine what would fit on trucks, fit in the neighborhood, and then get in the building because we have limited access both on the front and the back.”

“We can exchange models back and forth between designer and trade contractor without any conversion, without any kind of secondary bridging software or any need to print drawings.”

“We have to manage how we tend to people working on the project, ensuring that their vital signs are good and that they have shorter work days than at a lower altitude."

“You don’t want to have him come three hours and not be ready, because he won’t be back for a week. Our team would take photos of different pieces and send them to the inspector to look at so he knew what he was going to be inspecting before he got there.”

“It was three hours round-trip to the nearest hardware store to pick up a part. So, preplanning is imperative.”

"What we are doing, mainly with fiberglass and some different types of resin chemistries, is taking materials that have been developed in the aerospace industry and leveraging that technology into the civil market and construction."

“We were able to cut and drill all our beams in our warehouse before they even got to the zoo. This drastically reduces the downtime that the gorillas are required to be moved, which can cause stress to the animals. It was a really fun project to work on and worked out extremely well for everyone.”

“What it resulted in was a series of products that remediated the primary structural elements. We fabricated those here in the States, and they were so light, in fact, that it was economical to airfreight them over to Australia.”

“That’s because it’s the heart of the rail. It operates everything. If a train driver can’t see a signal—and drives too far or doesn’t stop—it will shut down the whole rail system.”

“Water conservation and the lack of pesticide usage, all those things that go into what the general public thinks about sustainability, fit right in with what we do.”
