Watch the “Optimized Construction” Industry Solution Experience in Action [VIDEO]January 21st, 2016 by Akio Moriwaki
NOW AVAILABLE: a demonstration video of Optimized Construction from Dassault Systèmes. In this webinar, you will observe interactions between a general contractor and a subcontractor, facilitated by Optimized Construction on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
When the subcontractor shares a 3D model with the general contractor, it’s a smooth exchange. Multiple project contributors may be employed by different organizations and still work together seamlessly within a single environment. In the Design-Review process, the subcontractor reviews and validates an installation, and makes a suggestion to enhance the work instructions. An interactive Work Breakdown Structure enables the general contractor to segregate project tasks by type, and delegate each task to the appropriate worker. The status of each task is tracked within the 3D model. Dashboards offer various views, including a Phase Gate view and an Issue Summary view, for the general contractor to manage the project using integrated project plans.

The following article is excerpted from Civil Design Innovation, a whitepaper developed by Dassault Systèmes and SMEDI. To read more, download the full whitepaper here.
Yanggao South Road TunnelThe reconstruction of the Yanggao South Road covered the area between the current Century Highway and the Pujian Road cross-route bridge, and measures a total of 1.95km (1.2 mi). The road, tunnel structure, Zhangjiabin Bridge, rain sewage pipeline, traffic sign and lines, signal lights, ventilation, monitoring system, power transmission and distribution, architecture, greening, and related equipment—as well as the initial greening and pipeline relocation—cost RMB ¥1.455 Billion in construction and installation, with the total investment amounting to RMB ¥2.47 Billion [USD $386 Million].
The Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform version R2015x was selected as the BIM platform for the entire process. SMEDI realized the following benefits by adopting the 3DEXPERIENCE platform: Data SecurityRead the rest of Civil Design Case Study: Yanggao South Road Tunnel Civil Design Case Study: Ganjiang Second BridgeDecember 31st, 2015 by Akio Moriwaki

SMEDI is particularly strong in designing bridges, having designed almost all the major bridges in Shanghai. Of course, SMEDI’s work goes way beyond the city of Shanghai. One notable example is the Ganjiang Second Bridge in Jiangxi Province, which has a “fish-like” design that fits very well within the surrounding landscape. The complex structure of the bridge comprises of a steel upper part, a concrete lower structure and in the middle, a mixed concrete and steel section.

 Shanghai Puxi section of the Ring Road project in China (Image © SMEDI) The Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute (SMEDI), one of China’s top municipal engineering companies, has completed 12,000 projects including water treatment plants, as well as road, bridge, rail, urban landscape, fuel gas and geotechnical engineering projects. Compass spoke with Lv Wei Zhang, association chief engineer in SMEDI’s IT Center, and Junwei Wu, deputy director of SMEDI’s BIM Center, about their work to develop IT solutions for civil engineering’s unique challenges. RELATED: Civil Design Innovation, a whitepaper by Dassault Systèmes and SMEDI COMPASS: What challenges are SMEDI facing in executing its work?LV WEI ZHANG: In China, it is common for major infrastructure projects to be carried out with design and construction happening in parallel. Typically, only 50% of the project is designed when construction begins. During construction, owners are able to plan the rest of the project with greater precision. So they modify their design as the project evolves. This is one of the ways to adjust projects. Adopting BIM for Civil Design in China: Benefits, Challenges, and SolutionsDecember 17th, 2015 by Akio Moriwaki
The following article is excerpted from Civil Design Innovation, a whitepaper developed by Dassault Systèmes and SMEDI. To read more, download the full whitepaper here.
ADOPTING BIM – BENEFITS, CHALLENGES, SOLUTIONThe two major benefits of adopting Building Information Management (BIM) are: 1. it enables 3D collaborative design, and
Despite these benefits, there are challenges in adopting BIM. One major obstacle is that it involves changing people’s habits, often needing to overcome a significant degree of resistance. When new ways of working are proposed within a corporation, this can result in internal clashes or even paralysis while processes are reconfigured. Bottlenecks can also occur while designs are being refined and assessed.

King Abdulla Financial District metro station (Image © Zaha Hadid Architects) To flourish, growing populations need more and better infrastructure – the roads, bridges and other public facilities created for government agencies by civil engineers and construction companies. Costly overruns are typical in such projects, but experts agree that many challenges can be overcome through enhanced stakeholder collaboration. By providing societies with infrastructure, including water, transport, communications, energy and waste systems, civil engineering projects help communities to function, develop and grow. But much of the world’s infrastructure is inadequate and crumbling, and growing populations will only need more of it.
