Thonton Tomasetti honored with the Revit BIM Experience Award

Thornton Tomasetti, Inc. has been honored with Autodesk's Revit BIM Experience Award for its use of Revit Structure to coordinate structural design and analysis and to collaborate with other design disciplines using the Revit platform. The Revit BIM Experience Award honors organizations, including commercial architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) firms, educational institutions, and individuals for their innovation and excellence in implementing the Revit platform for building information modeling (BIM). Candidates are judged on their ability to create quality and complex designs, collaborate across the building design disciplines, and drive increased productivity in the building design process. Thornton Tomasetti was recognized for creative design and analysis, and effective use of Revit Structure for multidisciplinary integration. The engineering and design firm implemented Revit Structure in 2004 and has since successfully used it on several large, complex projects. One of ThorntonTomasetti's current projects is a 2.2 million s/f sports stadium in the U.S. with seating capacity for more than 80,000 spectators and 200 suites. Though this is a challenging project because of its sheer size and high level of complexity, the design process has been easily executed with Revit Structure. It has allowed Thornton Tomasetti's project team to easily remain on a fast-track timeframe and provided instant benefits such as the ability to see changes in any view of the model and the use of parameters to capture and communicate design intent.
