The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is the latest state DOT in the U.S.to expand their use of Autodesk software to include Autodesk Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions for road and highway design projects statewide. The New Mexico Department of Transportation used Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler software to generate 3D visualizations for the I-10 roadway rehabilitation project.  Image courtesy of the New Mexico Department of Transportation. “We are looking forward to implementing the Autodesk solutions,” said Alvin Dominguez, P.E., NMDOT Cabinet Secretary.  “The New Mexico Department of Transportation expects to pay for the software within two years of full implementation through cost savings realized in the reduction of change orders.  The use of 3D modeling capabilities will improve our public input on projects promoting positive customer relations and needed transparency throughout our project development process.” “New Mexico’s decision to standardize on Autodesk solutions adds them to a growing list of major U.S. departments of transportation, such as Caltrans, that have made the move to Autodesk BIM for infrastructure solutions,“ said Lisa Campbell, Autodesk vice president of engineering and infrastructure. “We’re seeing rapidly expanding interest within the transportation community for the Autodesk BIM for infrastructure solutions, which help designers and civil engineers in both consulting firms and government agencies plan, design, build and manage more sustainable infrastructure.” Recently NMDOT used Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler, a solution that helps engineers and planning professionals create, evaluate, and communicate visually rich infrastructure proposals for more informed decision-making, to generate 3D visualizations for the Cambray Bridge replacement and I-10 roadway rehabilitation projects.
