Autodesk at ICCCBE 2010 industry plenary lecture

Autodesk will provide a vision for IT in civil engineering and heavy construction at the International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (ICCCBE) 2010.

Terry D Bennett, LS, LPF, MRICS, LEED AP, senior industry manager for civil engineering and heavy construction at Autodesk, will be the highlight of the company's appearance at this year's ICCCBE event (University of Nottingham, June 30 - July 2, 2010).

His presentation will take place on Thursday, July 1, in the University's Conference Theatre as part of the Advances and Future Challenges track.

Bennett will explore the idea that to maintain and improve our quality of life, we need to develop sustainably - such that our development meets our needs for natural resources, industrial products, energy, food, transportation, shelter, and waste management; conserves environmental quality (indoor and outdoor); and reduces growing social and economic inequities.

In his speech, Bennett will outline the future of design and construction processes including BIM (building information modeling) and its impact on infrastructure projects, and what owners will be looking for from their consultants as they rebuild failing infrastructure.

He will explain how new 3D modeling tools are making infrastructure models more intelligent.

Equally, he will demonstrate how by integrating data from engineering, architecture, and GIS sources, 3D modeling tools are helping to address the question of sustainability and to virtually construct the project from beginning to end on the desktop.
