Digital Delivery
Transportation project management and delivery are undergoing a digital transformation. State transportation agencies across the country are seeking ways to reduce project delivery time, cost, and risk, increase collaboration and innovation, and improve project outcomes and quality. Digital delivery is at the forefront of this change, and is bringing remarkable benefits to owners, engineers, and stakeholders.
At the core of digital delivery is the concept of model delivery. Model as a Legal Document (MALD) replaces paper plans with a responsive, accessible, and clear design package that is much more effective for bidding, construction, and eventual asset management. This shift from paper to model is delivering specific benefits to a wide range of stakeholders. For owners and engineers, it offers enhanced clarity in conveying design intentions for construction and asset management, more opportunities for collaboration and integration within design and construction processes, and invaluable digital twins for future asset management. For contractors, MALD offers unparalleled clarity of design details and quantities, helping to improve bid accuracy and streamline construction.
The Future of Design is Happening Now
The transition to digital delivery is already underway, and the demand is growing rapidly. While owners are eager to make the transition, the implementation of digital delivery requires customization to fully realize its benefits.
