Project Goal
Wood Rodgers was responsible for designing fiber optic cable installation along 111 miles of freeways and state highways requiring over 500 design plan sheets. Itemized sheet quantity takeoffs and summary tabulations for each design sheet were required with the final deliverable being in Microstation DGN file format. A project of this magnitude would typically take nine months to complete manually with a team of eight full time employees. Wood Rodgers was able to complete the project successfully within its six-week deadline with ten engineers and six technology team members using GIS and CAD automation.Business Problem Solved
Wood Rodgers was able to overcome the challenges faced in this project by leveraging the use of technology and viewing it as a data management project instead of a traditional design project. Wood Rodgers leveraged IT, CAD Design, and GIS technologies to develop solutions to help improve the collaboration, efficiency and productivity of the design and management teams. This was accomplished by consolidating the data into a single centralized repository.
