Overview
SolidCAD is proud to unveil our latest advancement in professional services tailored specifically for the civil infrastructure sector.
With a deep understanding of the challenges faced in bridge design, our team of technology enthusiasts and industry veterans has reimagined the traditional design process.
Our innovative approach integrates a fully parametric workflow within a Building Information Modeling (BIM) framework, leveraging the power of Autodesk tools to transform bridge design into a seamless, efficient, and compliant process.
Transforming Bridge Design with BIM
Our bridge design workflow is a testament to the efficiency and compliance that can be achieved through intelligent integration.
By adopting a BIM framework, we ensure that all stakeholders, from engineers to owners, can participate in a cohesive and dynamic design process.
This methodology not only facilitates compliance with increasingly stringent requirements but also drives cost reductions and efficiency improvements across the board.
Our Service Capabiltiies
Our approach to revolutionizing bridge design begins with a comprehensive analysis of your current design processes.
We identify key pain points, such as bottlenecks, redundancies, and the challenges of working across different file formats. This initial phase allows us to understand your specific needs and tailor our services accordingly.
Tailored Service Plan
Following our in-depth analysis, we develop a customized service plan that outlines the implementation of our bridge design workflow. This plan includes:
- Timeline: A clear roadmap to integration, from initial setup to full-scale adoption.
- Costs: Transparent pricing that aligns with your budget and the scope of your project.
- Expected Outcomes: A detailed overview of the improvements and efficiencies you can expect from adopting our workflow.
- Anticipated Benefits: An exploration of the broader benefits, including compliance, cost reduction, and enhanced project delivery.
Training and Pilot Projects
Understanding that a new workflow represents a significant change, we offer comprehensive training and support to ensure a smooth transition.
We conduct pilot projects to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, allowing your team to see firsthand the benefits and capabilities of our integrated bridge design workflow.
Software Technology: The Core of Our Workflow
At the heart of our workflow is a suite of Autodesk software, each playing a pivotal role in streamlining the bridge design process:
- InfraWorks: Acts as the operational nucleus, managing existing conditions, bridge parameters, and the seamless export of models for further detailing and analysis.
- Civil 3D: Enhances terrain and roadway modeling, providing the precision needed for intricate infrastructure projects.
- Inventor: Offers the flexibility to create highly customized bridge components, catering to unique project requirements.
- Structural Bridge Design: Delivers advanced tools for structural analysis, ensuring that designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound.
- Revit: Facilitates detailed additions such as rebar, and generates sheets directly from the model, enhancing both accuracy and efficiency.
- Lumion: Enables the creation of stunning visual renderings, bringing bridge designs to life for better stakeholder engagement and decision-making.
This ecosystem of software ensures a fully integrated design process. Design changes made in one application are automatically reflected across the workflow, eliminating data loss and significantly reducing the complexity typically associated with bridge design.
Our Recent Success
These real-life cases illustrate how we’ve empowered businesses to streamline their operations, breaking down silos and enhance interdepartmental communication. Each story is a testament to how our strategic approach has not only solved complex issues but paved the way for seamless and productive workflows.
