SAN RAFAEL, Calif. – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), a global leader in design and engineering software, has partnered with CGarchitect, an influential online publication for design and visualization professionals, to announce the winners of the 2015 Autodesk Excellence in Infrastructure Competition. This annual event celebrates innovative uses of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in civil infrastructure projects around the world.

This year marked the fourth edition of the competition, which recognized outstanding BIM applications across a wide range of infrastructure sectors. Arup took first place for their work on the MTR Shatin to Central Link railway expansion, while Ramboll-Parsons Brinckerhoff Joint Venture came in second for their project on the Transport for London Hammersmith Flyover. HNTB secured third place for their design of the Sixth Street Viaduct in Los Angeles. In addition, CivilE, LLC was honored as the small project winner, and Dawn Digital Pvt. Ltd. received the visualization award.

Amar Hanspal, Senior Vice President at Autodesk, highlighted the importance of BIM in modern infrastructure projects: “The winning entries showcase how BIM can enhance collaboration, improve constructability, and support more efficient decision-making throughout the lifecycle of a project.” He specifically praised Arup for their large-scale model that integrated GIS data, station designs, and existing structures to manage a complex 17 km railway line in Hong Kong.

The competition, managed by CGarchitect and co-sponsored by Autodesk and HP, received over 40 submissions from across the globe. Entries were evaluated based on innovation, complexity, sustainability, and the effective use of BIM processes. The winners will be recognized at Autodesk University 2015 in Las Vegas this December.

First Place: Arup

Arup's win came for their work on the MTR Shatin to Central Link, a major expansion of Hong Kong’s rail network. The project involved constructing tunnels, new stations, and underground facilities in one of the city’s most densely populated areas. Timothy Suen, Arup’s director of railway in East Asia, emphasized how BIM helped manage the challenges of working in a highly constrained environment. “BIM allows us to make informed decisions using visualized data, which is essential when dealing with unpredictable site conditions,” he said.

Second Place: Ramboll – Parsons Brinckerhoff Joint Venture

The second-place project focused on the Hammersmith Flyover in London, a 622-meter bridge that required extensive strengthening. The joint venture used laser scanning and BIM to ensure accuracy and coordination among stakeholders. By integrating scan data with design models, they achieved greater precision in construction planning and reduced risks associated with retrofitting an aging structure.

Third Place: HNTB

HNTB’s project in Los Angeles, the Sixth Street Viaduct, stands out for its unique arch design and seismic resilience. The firm used BIM to coordinate between civil, structural, and architectural teams, ensuring the project met both functional and aesthetic requirements. The viaduct is expected to significantly impact the local urban landscape and community engagement.

Small Projects Award: CivilE, LLC

CivilE, a small firm based in Texas, won for their work on the Walnut Park Apartment development. Despite limited resources, they successfully used BIM to streamline collaboration and improve design efficiency. Their ability to preserve natural elements like trees and manage challenging terrain demonstrated that even small firms can leverage BIM effectively.

Visualization Award: Dawn Digital Pvt. Ltd.

Dawn Digital, a leading visualization company, impressed judges with their high-quality animation for Godrej BKC in Mumbai. Their work combined aesthetics and functionality to create a compelling visual narrative of the building’s development. The team’s attention to detail and creative storytelling made the project stand out in the competition.
