SmartShape: the perfect partner for your [[infrastructure projects]].
The infrastructure construction sector covers [[a wide range of activities.]]
[[3D modelling]] at the heart of infrastructure projects.
Computer-aided design (CAD), 3D modelling, and computer-aided drawing and drafting (CADD) software are essential in infrastructure projects. These methods and tools are grouped under the acronyms AEC (Architecture, Engineering & Construction) and BIM (Building Information Modelling).
These 3D digital models can be used in all project stages:
Numerous software and file formats.
There are many BIM software options on the market, including the well-renowned AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, Autodesk Revit, Tekla Structures, ATGT Topo3D (formerly Aerotopo).
This profusion of tools reflects a booming market. The other side of the coin is that designers have to deal with multiple file formats: DWG, DGN, IFC, etc. This diversity inherently produces complexity when it comes to combining all the design data for an infrastructure project.

[[Le partage de l’information et la collaboration entre équipes]] : le coeur du réacteur des projets d’infrastructures.
[[The SmartShape promise]]: encouraging the use of mass data and fostering collaboration between project players.
Document-free and paperless sites, where all the necessary information is shared by all.
Manage the entire life cycle of your infrastructure
The construction of an infrastructure represents only a fraction of its actual cost. Operation accounts for 70 to 80% of the asset’s total cost. This is why SmartShape supports you throughout the life cycle of your infrastructure, during its design and construction phases, but also throughout its operation.
The tool is designed to meet the requirements of the many professionals working on the construction of the infrastructure. Operators can also manage their assets by monitoring all the data relating to their infrastructure.

SmartShape: an as-a-Service, self-hosted digital twin to [[manage your infrastructure construction project]].
SmartShape is a complete solution for managing your infrastructure projects, enabling all stakeholders to work collaboratively on a digital twin:
Focus on the collaboration between [[SmartShape and Suez/Semeru]]
SmartShape and the Semeru company (Fayat Group), responsible for the maintenance and improvement of the industrial equipment used to operate the Paris sewerage system, collaborated on a 3D modelling project for the sewers of the City of Paris.
The model created includes modelling of a wastewater treatment plant, combined with modelling of a sewage network in excess of 400 kilometres long. This result was produced using a large-scale 3D scan and photogrammetry carried out by Semeru, and thanks to the use of data acquired by SmartShape.
This 3D modelling of the sewers in Paris made it possible to carry out a virtual tour of the structures, view the equipment in place, and navigate the channels. The maintenance teams can thus prepare their work on site in complete safety.
