70,000 tons of steel used so far in

construction, only 2 tons = waste.

1000x reduction in planned wastage

Curved curtain wall has over 19,000

glass panels - no two alike.

Of 20,000 square meters of panels

installed to date, not one has been

sent back because it was the wrong

size or shape or assigned to the

wrong location.

By modeling various options and

conducting wind-tunnel tests,

the design team discovered that

a 120-degree twist and

55% Taper combination reduced

wind loads by 24% and material cost by $58 million.

Parsons Brinckerhoff: Presidio Parkway Large-scale roadway redesign project in California uses Autodesk BIM

solutions

US$1.045 billion Presidio Parkway in San Francisco.

The project is inherently highly sensitive due to running

through Presidio national park, and nearby property values

Project construction will cause ramp closures and traffic

detours for several years

"By using Autodesk BIM solutions, we were able to construct

this project virtually, before it was built in the real world,“

Allowing interest groups to see the impact of the construction

Allowing for better sequencing of the project to limit disruptions and cost

wastage
