Webinars on Use of 3D Engineered Models for Transportation Construction

One of the technologies the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Every Day Counts (EDC) initiative is promoting is the use of 3D engineered models for transportation construction. 3D models have been successfully deployed in the design and construction of industrial, office and residential buildings for years. More recently, this technology has been used in planning, designing, and constructing highway projects. AGC is working with FHWA to promote a series of eight webinars developed to assist contractors in adopting this proven technology. Webinar Schedule The first webinar is titled: Overview of 3D Engineered Models for Construction. The webinar will be held between 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern on November 20, 2013. There are no fees for registering or participating in these webinars.
