“It has been top-down from the owner for us to use as much building information modeling (BIM) and prefabrication and modularization as we can."
"The most daunting challenge was meeting the high design performance requirements. This is the Panama Canal. We couldn’t afford to make a mistake. And the clock was ticking."
“With the digital twin initiative, we were trying to answer three basic questions: What is the definition of a digital twin? How do you create a digital twin? And what is the value of having a digital twin?”
"Revit and Navisworks, software within the AEC Collection, were used to design the network assets and perform the relevant information checks (model validation, code checking and clash detection). We were able to define a standard data model for each design phase, then use Dynamo to extract all the data we needed to produce the design documents from that model."
"BIM Collaborate Pro enables us to manage all phases of the design process and make all the relevant information available to the various actors involved in the project in real-time."
"Working with BIM gives us an enormous advantage, both with the more complex projects that require interference analysis to predict construction site problems, and the simpler but extremely repetitive projects for which we've developed ad-hoc libraries and templates."
“We are able to integrate design into our maps – not only importing design data, but integrating and updating maps based on design plans. Mapping becomes more accurate and compelling."
“While we’re a smaller firm, we plan to become a leader in maximizing our technical capabilities. Now that we have a hub for documentation, new delivery models, and our cultural changes, we’ve made ourselves a firm for the 21st century.”
“We realized that for mundane tasks that usually take up a lot of time, we could use parametric modeling processes and computational design for greater efficiency—exploring different permutations to see what’s successful.

"For us, VDC is really about giving the client an insight into the risks they may face. It helps us communicate our methodologies and proposals for mitigating those risks."
“We were able to show the client our construction methodology and provide detailed site logistics. This ensured construction traffic did not impede public, pedestrian, and vehicle access on this busy, active campus."
"With Autodesk AEC Collection and BIM 360 solutions, the collaboration between project stakeholders is seamless. We saw a 33% improvement in resolving coordination issues as compared to past projects where BIM 360 was not adopted."
“BIM and IDD help integrate our entire process together because it isn’t as simple as getting a room done in the factory and then swinging it in. Before that can be done, we need all the stakeholders to come together and make sure that everything is well coordinated.”
“Due to the project’s size, complexity, and the enormous amount of model data to be developed to LOD 500, Sisk and the wider project team relied on the BIM 360 cloud-based platform and the integrated BIM tools in the Autodesk AEC Collection to improve collaboration, efficiency, and stakeholder engagement.”
“Our collaborative working environment would not be possible without Autodesk BIM 360. More importantly, it comes down to the Sisk team and our innovation, passion, and consistency to deliver the best project outcomes for our clients.”
