Why is 3D design important?
Top five causes of construction delays(1):1. Unforeseen utilities2. Differing site conditions3. Permitting4. Weather5. Errors in plans and specifications

Common Practice
A utility is considered to be in 3D by assigning an elevation.

Typicaldepth
Storm drain

Ductbank
Project Example
SR-114 Geneva Road Widening Project in Utah County3D Modeling used: Partially
Post Project Take Aways:Utility Issues: 8Approximate Cost: $390,000
3D Full Power:Number of conflicts: 4Approximate Cost savings: $240,000

How is this accomplished?
1. Early Identification:– SUE– Pothole and Survey
2. Design software:– AutoCAD Civil 3D– MicroStation with InRoads

Example: Locating conflicts using Clash Detection
Hard clash
Soft clash7

Best Practices
**UDOT has a philosophy of early and often. Each project is evaluated to determine if it is advantageous to complete SUE prior to starting design. A direct result of this philosophy is the implementation of a Best Management Practice where SUE is provided upfront for Design-Build projects.

3D modeling integrates the work of all disciplines so no one discipline is designing in a vacuum
3D models can be linked directly to construction schedules to help visualize construction sequencing
Minimize risk, improve accuracy of quantities and optimize design
Take Aways
1. Assess feasibility of 3D Modeling2. Implement a plan of action3. Coordinate, Cooperate, and Communicate(2)
4. Partnership between Designers, Contractors, and Owners
