3D On The Wastewater Line - Failure Is Not an Option Tuesday, 16 March 2010 21:37 Joint venture partners Galliford Try, Costain, and Atkins have tackled numerous challenges to deliver assets for United Utilities’ £3 billion Asset Management Plan, running from 2005 to 2010. Adding tertiary treatment for ammonia removal at the Wigan wastewater treatment works located on United Kingdom’s Lancashire plains had more than its share: tight budget, fast-track schedule, constrained footprint, and environmental impact.
Pedestrian Simulation for the Sustainability of the Built Environment Wednesday, 17 February 2010 23:55 If sustainability means to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations, pedestrian simulation software can contribute to this aim in the field of building design and engineering. Simulation of human walking allows to identify planned or existing flaws regarding pedestrian comfort and security in buildings, urban areas or transport facilities that will threaten the current and future use of these facilities.
Geomatics: Research of Novel Applications in Heritage Management Monday, 15 February 2010 10:22 Geomatics for Heritage Management is strategic for sustainable development and cultural tourism, for economic development, cultural tourism, civil protection, for environmental monitoring and management of emergencies. The positive results of the work carried out convinced us to intensify the efforts and survey a wider area, aiming at covering European regions and worldwide.    
Moving from 2D to 3D Design Sunday, 14 February 2010 15:48 It used to be that good design was signified by form following function, but as we’ve moved through the first decade of the 21st century, it’s clear that good design requires so much more. While function is still primary, there are many other factors inherent to good design.  Factors like sustainability, affordability, usability and reliability. And wrapped around those factors are ever-more subjective notions of beauty and emotional appeal. Guided by the ideal of good design, we introduced AutoCAD 2010, which helps those who shape the world around us take “design” further than ever before.
