AUTODESK INFRAWORKS

Autodesk InfraWorks – Infrastructure Planning and Design with Real Contextualization

Autodesk InfraWorks is an advanced design and visualization platform dedicated to the civil infrastructure sector. It allows the creation of 3D models rich in geospatial data for conceptual design, urban planning and public works simulation, integrating geography, BIM and analysis in a realistic and collaborative visual environment.

InfraWorks is designed for civil engineers, urban planners and designers who want to rapidly evaluate infrastructure solutions in realistic contexts, improve the decision-making process and present projects in a visually compelling way.

🌍 Main features of Autodesk InfraWorks

• Creation of Contextualized Territorial Models: imports GIS, topographical, raster and vector data to generate realistic and georeferenced large-scale environments.

• Integration with geospatial data: supports formats such as SHP, GeoTIFF, KML, and direct connections to WMS services and GIS databases.

• Intelligent road design: allows the modeling of road routes in a parametric way, with control over slopes, sections and dynamic intersections 🚧.

• Bridges and linear infrastructure: preliminary design of bridges with detailed structural visualization, including automatic insertion of piles, decks and supports.

• Simulation of rainwater and hydrological flows: hydraulic analysis to evaluate the environmental impact of infrastructures or to plan urban drainage systems 🌊.

• Railway design: tools dedicated to the creation of railway lines, transition curves, platforms and stations, with local railway standards.

• Cloud-based collaboration: access to models via the cloud for multidisciplinary teams, with the possibility of review, comment and real-time sharing.

• Real-time realistic rendering: highly detailed visual representation of landscapes, buildings, vegetation and traffic, useful for communication with stakeholders and public administrations.

🛠 Included tools and interoperability

InfraWorks is designed to work in synergy with other Autodesk software, in particular:

• Revit for architectural structures

• Civil 3D for the detailed design of roads, water networks and underground infrastructure

• AutoCAD for the production of technical drawings

• Navisworks for model review and interference management

• BIM 360 and Autodesk Docs for documentation management and team collaboration

The model developed in InfraWorks can be easily exported in formats compatible with the executive design, maintaining consistency between the different work phases.

💻 Compatibility and System Requirements

👥 Who is Autodesk InfraWorks suitable for?

InfraWorks is ideal for:

• Civil and infrastructure engineers who need to analyze, model and present projects in the preliminary phase

• Urban planners and territorial planners who want an integrated overview of urban development, road network and environmental sustainability 🏙️

• Public administrations and design studios that manage tenders, regulatory plans, public works and environmental analyses

• Multidisciplinary BIM teams who want to integrate conceptual design with hydraulic analysis, transport and visual impact tools

• Universities and research centers involved in the development of intelligent solutions for smart cities

✅ Autodesk InfraWorks is the perfect tool to transform raw territorial data into visual, dynamic and informative models. A platform designed to reduce uncertainties in infrastructure planning, facilitate communication with stakeholders and accelerate decisions in urban and territorial transformation projects.
