Dewberry, a privately held engineering, architectural, and management consulting firm, has completed the installation of a five mile long reclaimed water pipeline (a.k.a. Purple Pipe project) in Fairfax County, Va. This multi-faceted project was completed without impacting any existing utility infrastructure. Dewberry used a Building Information Modeling (BIM) process with advanced 3D design and visualization technology from Autodesk to support the bid and then design the pipeline. This interview features Cody Pennetti, site/civil engineer, Dewberry. Cody highlights how applying an information modeling process is a highly efficient way to manage complex and challenging projects such as a purple pipe project.
