Infrastructure projects are becoming more complex. Roads, bridges, water systems, and utilities now depend on connected data, intelligent workflows, and collaboration across multiple disciplines.
The Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and Autodesk Forma are two tools transforming how civil engineers and public agencies plan, design, and deliver projects. Together, they connect every stage within one shared environment, from concept to construction to operations.
ACC integrated workflows help teams design, plan, build, and operate more efficiently, all within one secure cloud environment.
- Design: Coordinate Civil 3D, InfraWorks, and Revit models in ACC to minimize clashes, eliminate data silos, and reduce rework.
- Plan: Use built-in takeoff and estimating tools to connect designs directly to costs, creating real-time visibility for project budgets.
- Build: Instantly capture field updates, RFIs, and issues through mobile apps synced to the cloud, ensuring everyone works from the latest information.
- Operate: Turn project data into a live digital record that supports maintenance, operations, and asset management.
By linking these stages, infrastructure teams can maintain a single source of truth that keeps projects accurate, transparent, and efficient from start to finish.
Autodesk Forma: The New Data Hub for AECO
Autodesk Forma is evolving into the industry's central data hub, connecting BIM models, GIS data, schedules, and construction records in one unified platform. This shift means more informed decisions, faster collaboration, and fewer team file transfers for infrastructure professionals.
- Unified Data Environment: Forma consolidates all project data models, designs, GIS layers, and timelines into a single cloud platform, improving access and accuracy.
- Operational Intelligence with Digital Twins: With Tandem Insights, agencies and utilities can monitor asset performance, energy use, and maintenance needs in real time, turning data into long-term value.
- AI-Driven Efficiency: Emerging Autodesk technologies like Neural CAD and the Autodesk Assistant use artificial intelligence to automate repetitive tasks, accelerate design work, and enhance decision-making.
- Responsible AI Adoption: ARKANCE helps teams confidently integrate AI workflows, validating results, maintaining standards, and achieving measurable productivity gains.
Together, Autodesk and ARKANCE empower infrastructure teams to work more efficiently, collaborate seamlessly, and build a connected foundation for next-generation project delivery. As Autodesk creates a unified ecosystem where data, design, and AI converge, ARKANCE supports your team every step of the way with proven expertise and trusted guidance. Through expert consulting, tailored training, and hands-on implementation support, ARKANCE helps teams transform digital strategies into measurable results.
