| One of PB’s current infrastructure projects, funded by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, is the new US$1.045 billion Presidio Parkway in San Francisco. The roadway will replace Doyle Drive, a 1.5-mile road that runs from San Francisco’s Marina District through the Presidio to the southern access of the Golden Gate Bridge. Built in 1936, the existing Doyle Drive has reached its useful lifespan and is being replaced. |

| To create a virtual project model, PB imported the Caltrans roadway design data into Civil 3D model-based software. Once PB had aggregated the design data in a Civil 3D model, the team used the 3D DWG format to more seamlessly transfer this infrastructure model to 3ds Max Design software for design visualization. PB was then able to use the modeling features of 3ds Max Design to enhance the existing design information, adding surrounding city features and landscape details to create near photorealistic visualizations and animations. "We also transferred the Civil 3D model to Navisworks and developed a 4D project model that integrates the 3D virtual model and the construction schedule," explains Nadell. "And we have started to link cost information to our 4D model, creating a 5D model for cost estimating." |

Well, a little more up date, in that more tree clearing starts today.
Oh, and I applied for a engineering position at PB, looks like the sort of place I'd want to work, even though their entire web presence seems to be down.
