BIM has revolutionized the way infrastructure projects are planned, designed, and managed. However, the dependency on specific CAD software platforms often poses interoperability challenges and limitations for stakeholders. To address these issues, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) has embraced a CAD agnostic approach for their Digital Delivery Program, leveraging the benefits of BIM while ensuring advancement and compatibility among various software.
This presentation will feature PTC's Digital Delivery Program, which encompasses the entire lifecycle of infrastructure projects, delving into program initiation, implementation, adoption, and ongoing investigations. It will focus on the benefits and challenges with a CAD agnostic approach, featuring insights and lessons learned from PTC’s pilot projects.
The presentation will provide an overview of the Commission’s first pilot projects highlighting a bridge replacement project, mainline reprofiling project, emergency access ramps and stormwater site project, and a facilities project.
