This round table event is aimed at Managers who wish to understand all the different Autodesk products used in an Infrastructure Project. As we all know, this is a big subject, so there cannot be one solution
With the AEC collection, there are many tools for the Civil Engineer, and as a Manager, it makes sense for you to understand what is available to your team, and at a high level, what can be achieved.
With this session, you can discuss your particular needs and learn from others in your industry. We will discuss and show what products the Engineers have available to them and how they interact with each other. This session will also give you a clear understanding of the Autodesk options to optimise your team’s performance and ensure that your team’s training needs are targeted and relevant.
Here are some of the subjects we will be looking at:
- What do you do currently – what is your primary business, and what Autodesk software do you use?
- AEC Collection Overview for the Civil Engineer
- A look at the products and what they do
- Filling the Gaps – Are there any gaps in your organisation’s workflows that need filling?
- What other software are using to fill the gaps?
- Understanding common workflows
- Training and Consultancy options – What is available to help your team be the most productive they can be
- The next steps – What can we do to help?

Document Reviews enable document managers to facilitate, control, and automate the distribution of documents to project members. Project drawings, models, and documents can be identified for review and proceed through an approval process before issuing on.
Let’s take a closer look at this powerful process and review some of its features.
Topics include:
- Initiate a review workflow
- Manage the flow of project information
- Place approved documents into a shared folder
- Ensure access to current project information (single source of truth)
- Create a Transmittal and sharing files externally

Integrating a continuous inspection routine throughout the project will provide real time transparency for more informed decisions
Construction sites are becoming remote factories in need of build and verify solutions. Historically, the tolerance level for scrap and rework has been very high because it is considered part of the normal business – until now. Construction Managers and Engineers need a solution to provide full transparency throughout the entire building lifecycle.
This webinar will discuss the methods and benefits of utilising a quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) management tool which will empower construction professionals to continuously evaluate projects with real-time comparisons against CAD designs using 3D scan data. As part of this webinar, LDCC LTD. will present how several projects visualise the benefits and overall cost savings.
During this webinar you will learn:
- How escalated rework costs are built in for each project
- How QA/QC methods can be applied to any project and its lifecycle
- The benefits of implementing a QA/QC management tool
- Why a QA/QC management tool align exclusively with BIM standards
- How to utilise 3D point clouds and BuildIT Construction Software to establish routine quality checks
- How LDCC LTD. has successfully integrated a QA/QC routine as a unique offering to their clients.

With more and more collaboration as Advance Steel users we are being asked to export our models to different programs and formats such as Revit, Navisworks, IFC etc
We find on technical support that we get a lot of questions relating to exporting / importing to different coordinates. There are site coordinates, the architect / engineer will have their own internal coordinates within their models.
The BIM coordinator might send you an email saying your model isn’t in the correct place, this will depend on what product they are using and what coordinates they are working with.
This session will look at best practise workflows and how we can get the correct coordinate information for transferring our models.

Event Details
The challenges of project planning/scheduling on many infrastructure and maintenance projects (e.g. roads, railways, pipelines, etc.) depends not only on what things happen but also where they happen. The location is often a key driver in how the project needs to be organised. It is impossible to meet that parameter with the classic project planning systems (e.g. P6, Powerproject, Microsoft Project, etc.) and you need to understand and use the Time-Chainage (Linear Planning, March charts, etc.) technique
Join Elecosoft’s 30-minute webinar to find out more. Our experienced presenter understands the challenges of construction planning and will show how, with Tilos, you can use the distance component to fully define the scope of work and plan in a new way.
The webinar will cover:
- The concepts and basics of Time-Chainage and Tilos
- Creating a project plan using drag and drop functionality
- Linking tasks with distance as a driver
- Export and import to Excel, P6, Powerproject, Microsoft Project
- Baseline and progress
- Mass-haul.

Event Details
Many contractors have staff working on large civil and infrastructure projects using software outside of their controlled Oracle Primavera P6 master programme, such as MS Excel and MS Project. Often this is because they find P6 too complex or costly for those outside the core planning team to use, such as when developing short-term programmes that expand on the level of detail held in the master programme
Whatever the reason, getting data exported, updated and imported back into P6 leads to errors and inaccuracies; breaking the link between the master programme and the individual project. These products are also not tailored to the environment in which they are used, as well as often costing more than is first thought.
This webinar will show you how you can check out sections of a project from P6 and update the schedule with a user-friendly interface within a cost-effective solution.
Our experienced presenter will show you how many organisations are increasingly working with Powerproject as a better user experience and how you can:
- Check out data from Primavera P6 into Powerproject
- Update progress easily – including via mobile devices on site
- Print reports for easy communication
- Reduce costs with shared licensing In addition, Powerproject includes tools for Risk Analysis and Schedule Quality Checking, providing another reason to explore the benefits it can bring to your work.
