Abstract: For decades our state departments of transportation have diligently worked to solve the American public's need for a safe, efficient roadway system that provides access and economic development. While great things have been achieved and these efforts are commendable, these efforts have also led to silos of departmental specific technologies and procedures that unintentionally hinder the sharing of data as a project proceeds through its lifecycle. A movement is underway to eliminate these silos, find common ground across departments and make the sharing of data a very high priority. This movement is referred to as Digital Project Delivery and requires the participation of all major players within the DOT to be successful. With the development of international open standards like Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), intelligent 3D models containing invaluable data can be passed along from design, to preconstruction, used as the legal document of record, then sent to construction, to operations and maintenance and finally to long term asset management. Information gathered along the way can then be analyzed and reused at the beginning of future projects. This session will explore what Georgia DOT and several other agencies are doing to address the need for Digital Project Delivery.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees can expect to learn the following from this session:
  • Upon completion, participant will be able to define the objectives and benefits of a successful Digital Project Delivery methodology.
  • Upon completion, participant will be able to conduct an internal assessment of their agency's practices to see if they can benefit from the practice of Digital Project Delivery.
  • Upon completion, participant will be able to list the challenges to implementing a successful Digital Project Delivery methodology.
