RECORDED WEBINAR

Keys to Success in Digital Delivery: Panel Discussion with Pennoni, Delaware DOT, and ALLPLAN

Join panelists from Pennoni, the Delaware Department of Transportation, and ALLPLAN BIM software as they discuss a recent success in digital delivery. They’ll take a deep dive into Pennoni’s experience at the forefront of digital delivery, discuss how Allplan helped both Pennoni and the Delaware DOT implement BIM processes in their recent project, and take a broader look at the current state of the industry.

Drawing from their recent project success, the panelists will walk you through their experience, sharing both their challenges and triumphs. Learn how to achieve successful project completion, develop workflows for future projects, and drive collaboration between consultant, project owner, and vendor to pave the way for wider BIM adoption and digital delivery workflows.

 

You'll learn: 

  • Pennoni’s experience in delivering a project in both digital and CAD formats
  • DelDOT’s experience managing both the design and the technology exploration aspects of this project
  • Risks and opportunities for consultants in adopting the sort of BIM-based design workflows used here
  • Challenges and shortcomings in the state of practice to-date
  • Planned future efforts to improve software and practice

Scott Walls is a Project Manager with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT). Scott began his career at DelDOT in 2012 as a Project Engineer in the Bridge Design Group. Scott was the lead designer for numerous replacement and rehabilitation projects designing with both steel and concrete. In his current position as Project Manager, Scott leads a small group of engineers and consultants from project initiation through project completion. Scott earned his bachelors of civil engineering in 2011 and his master’s degree in civil engineering in 2018, both from the University of Delaware. Scott is a registered Professional Engineer in the state of Delaware.

Scott helped jumpstart the Department’s Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) program by being amongst the first designers to utilize ultra-high performance concrete, geosynthetic reinforced soil – integrated bridge system, and steel decked modular superstructure units. Scott is involved in a number of outreach programs aimed at developing an interest and excitement for civil engineering. Along with his colleagues, he developed and manages a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) outreach program to support students learning STEM concepts throughout the state. In the 2016-2017 school year alone, this program reached over 2,000 students.
