What Does 3-D Mean for Utilities?

摘要

THE GLOBAL CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY, WHOSE ANNUAL SPENDING IS ABOUT USD2.3 TRILLION, is facing serious challenges including global climate change, aging infrastructure, a shrinking workforce and lagging productivity. The design-software industry is investing in new technologies such as building information modeling (BIM), geospatial enabling and 3-D simulation to enable architects, engineers, construction firms, and owners and operators of buildings and infrastructure to address these challenges. Changing the way we design, manage and operate buildings and infrastructure has a direct impact on the utility industry.
