From data chaos to a connected data environment

In today’s infrastructure projects, massive amounts of data are generated across your project lifecycle, yet this information—from engineering models, construction files, operations data and subsurface insights—remains fragmented. Eliminate the un-billable hours spent searching for files, and empower your engineering experts to focus on high-value, complex design.

This visibility gap forces critical decisions to be made using incomplete data, leading to unforeseen issues, costly rework, and unnecessary project risk. Without strict data governance, version control, and a unified view of project information, the true value of your data remains locked away in silos. So what does it look like to break down those silos and connect project data across the lifecycle? Explore the stories of teams that are doing just that.

Infrastructure digital twin case study: Iowa DOT

Facing the replacement of a century-old bridge, the Iowa DOT overcame the visibility gap. By creating a unified digital model as the single source of truth, they empowered every stakeholder to collaborate with complete clarity.

This connected data approach turned a potential crisis into a simple digital fix when a critical flaw was discovered. The result:

  • USD 3.2 million saved by avoiding on-site rework and material waste.
  • 6 weeks cut from the schedule through optimized virtual sequencing.
  • Zero ambiguity from design and fabrication to assembly.

Turn fragmented data into your most valuable asset

Discover an open, integrated data environment built on a simple, powerful principle: ensuring the right people have the right data at the right time. By providing controlled access to a unified source of truth for above and below ground data, you can unlock the full potential of your project data across every phase.

Design with clarity

Unify all your engineering work-in-progress (WIP)—from documents, BIM models, GIS context, and geotechnical surveys in a trusted environment. This empowers multidisciplinary teams to automate administrative tasks, reduce rework, and optimize designs.

Build with certainty

Connect your design plans with your schedule and real-time construction progress. This creates an indisputable digital record and a single source of truth that validates contractual deliverables, provides complete audit trails, and keeps projects on track.

Operate with intelligence

Use an accurate digital twin of your completed project, updated with live data. This living intelligence streamlines inspections, predicts maintenance needs, lowers your total cost of ownership (TCO), and optimizes asset performance throughout its entire lifecycle.
