Founders’ Honor

Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) initiated the 68.5-kilometer Kotido-Kaabong Roadway project dedicated to rural revitalization and development of the tourism economy in northwest Uganda. Located in a wild nature preserve, the project presented survey and construction challenges, compounded by multidiscipline coordination amid a tight schedule. UNRA required the project team to submit digital BIM deliverables in accordance with British standards. Realizing that their traditional design methods were insufficient, the team needed an integrated digital platform capable of whole process management. 
 
Leveraging ProjectWise, iTwin, and Bentley’s open modeling applications, they established a connected data environment, performing collaborative digital design and integrating multiple data formats, improving data sharing efficiencies by 50%. Using ContextCapture to deliver a 3D reality model of the environmentally protected project space reduced survey time by 25 days and saved USD 250,000. The digital solution provided 3D renderings of the project plan, improving visualization and external communication efficiencies by 60%.
