This acquisition expands our capabilities in this critical area and complements other solu‑ tions we offer. In extreme weather, the Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) tool for InfraWorks can help in multiple ways. Green stormwater management—using techniques such as green roofs, bioretention, permeable pavement, and rain gardens—reduces stress on urban drainage and water treatment systems, avoiding flooding and minimizing surface runoff that can contaminate waterways. Case Study: In 2014, Arcadis, a leading global design, engineering, and management consul‑ tancy, was tasked with designing and managing the construction of a water system upgrade in Toledo, Ohio. The city had suffered a toxic algal bloom that compromised its aging wa‑ ter system. Arcadis met the challenge with the help of Autodesk technologies. The project team spanned a range of disciplines and geographic locations from Ohio to Florida. But with ® ® the help of Autodesk’s cloud collaboration solutions, such as Autodesk BIM 360 Design (now BIM Collaborate Pro), every team member could interact with project data in real time, saving over 1,000 design hours and enabling Arcadis to deliver the project design on time. ® ® When it came time to manage construction, Autodesk ReCap and InfraWorks software enabled the Arcadis team to monitor construction with rich as‑built models that could also be used for augmented and virtual reality experiences.
