By integrating new VDC processes, Mortenson was able to make critical decisions with the owner and project team using the computer model before implementation in the field. Each stage of the construction process was modeled and fully coordinated between key stakeholders, allowing any conflicts and decisions to be resolved early in the construction phase and therefore reducing time of construction. Georeferenced models allowed the civil construction team to use machine-controlled grading techniques that significantly reduced the time to complete the large earthmoving operation that has consisted of more than 300,000 yards of dirt to date.
