Success Story
SeamonWhiteside, a seasoned Civil Engineering and Landscape Architecture firm, faced significant challenges in their Civil 3D workflow, especially in the design and labelling of Pipe Network Structures. Despite their expertise, their internal efforts to streamline water-related infrastructure design processes were falling short. Recognizing the need for a specialized solution, they sought external assistance to overcome these inefficiencies.
“Our Innovation Department spent a few months trying to develop a solution to support our water-related infrastructure design as a complement to our storm drainage infrastructure. All our efforts were to no avail, so we looked to ATG for a solution,” said York Dilday, PE, Digital Practice Lead – Civil. York manages SW’s AutoCAD and Autodesk Civil 3D environments, designs and implements new tools and workflows, and provides technical support.
ATG was initially introduced to SW after Kayla Stitz (ATG Regional Account Executive), visited their corporate office to showcase how ATG could support them. After discovering ATG’s consulting services, they decided to move forward with the partnership based on examples ATG built for other customers, deploying ATG’s team to create multiple Civil 3D Pipe Network Structure Parts.
York noted, “I would highly recommend ATG due to the support and responsiveness we receive from everyone on your team.” Working closely with Jose Luis Calixto (ATG Civil Technical Specialist), who brought a wealth of knowledge and presented multiple viable options, SW was able to land on a solution. “Jose presented SeamonWhiteside with a few options to solve our issue and ultimately delivered exactly what we needed,” added York.
The collaboration yielded significant improvements in SW's Civil 3D workflow. The custom Pipe Network Structures created by ATG drastically reduced the time and effort required to transition from conceptual designs to comprehensive construction documents. This enhancement not only streamlined their processes but also ensured uniform labelling of appurtenances across plan sets, a feature highly appreciated by their designers. Within less than a year of partnership, SW experienced a significant improvement in workflow efficiency and reported high satisfaction with the project outcome.
SeamonWhiteside's partnership with ATG has proven to be a significant success. The custom Pipe Network Structures delivered by ATG have significantly streamlined the firm's water infrastructure design process, reducing the time and effort needed to translate conceptual designs into complete construction documents.

Implementing a New Platform for Construction
Eckardt Group was founded in 1936 and has been recognized as one of the top electrical contractors in Georgia for the past 80 years. The main challenge EG faced was integrating all data from the BIM side into Autodesk Build and learning how to use Build as their new construction software. They also needed a way to ensure their teams were staying up to date with new features and using the technology to its full capacity.
Connecting VC, Fabrication & Construction Workflows
NOX Innovations is dedicated to helping contractors scale, adapt and maintain their agility in an ever-changing market. Due to company growth, Corbins Electric, the sister company of NOX Innovations, needed a way to bridge gaps and inefficiencies and tie their VC, fabrication and construction workflows together. They were using their own project management software, but it didn’t connect to the cloud and their virtual construction workflows. “We had our own internal project management software that we developed over the years, but it didn’t connect to BIM 360 Docs, model coordination and all the other things we use for the VC side of things,” said Tony Anderson, VC Innovations Specialist. Tony has been with Corbins Electric for 25 years and has worked in the virtual construction department for 10 years.
Helping a Small Firm Stay Ahead of Deadlines
Moyer Design + Build is a small firm that designs and builds custom residential homes from start to finish. Due to team capacity and workload, it was difficult to keep up with technical work. Moyer Design reached out to ATG for production services assistance. “ATG helped facilitate the process and push into construction documents to get a lot of the bulk work done that we didn’t have time for,” said Jeb Moyer, Owner of Moyer Design.
