Success Story
WES - Transforming EPCM Project Efficiency with Autodesk Solutions
Customer challenge
Waco Engineering Services faced a pressing challenge - reducing turnaround time while empowering engineers to focus on design over drawing tasks. To address this, they partnered with Modena Onesolve to access skilled Autodesk AutoCAD 2D, 3D, Autodesk Advanced Steel, and Autodesk Revit draughting resources. This strategic collaboration also extended to Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Project goals
The goals for this project include:
- Reduce turnaround times and shift engineers' focus to design tasks.
- Enhance collaboration between Waco Engineering Services and external resources. Implement a system that optimizes team utilization.
Solution
Waco Engineering Services had already been utilizing Autodesk Vault Professional. However, as their business evolved into a project management and EPCM environment, they decided to adopt Autodesk Construction Cloud. This transition led to several significant improvements. It reduced workflow times, streamlined collaboration with external resources, and increased team utilization.
Modena Onesolve played a pivotal role in this transformation. They swiftly adapted to the nature of Waco Engineering Services' work and significantly boosted drawing production rates. This increase in efficiency reduced turnaround times and enabled Waco Engineering Services to deliver critical information to project sites ahead of deadlines. Additionally, Modena Onesolve assisted in overhauling the drawing process, minimizing the number of files generated, and adapting templates to align with Waco Engineering Services' new way of working with Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Business outcome
As a result of these solutions, Waco Engineering Services achieved the following outcomes:
- Drastically reduced turnaround times, enabling faster project progression.
- Shifted the focus of engineers from drawing tasks to more valuable design work.
- Improved collaboration with external resources, further enhancing project efficiency. Optimized team utilization, leading to increased productivity and cost-effectiveness.
Conclusion
By embracing Autodesk solutions and collaborating with Modena Onesolve, Waco Engineering Services successfully tackled their challenge of improving turnaround times and shifting their engineering focus.
The partnership with Modena Onesolve not only expedited the adoption of Autodesk Construction Cloud but also significantly increased drawing production rates. These changes resulted in a streamlined workflow, better collaboration, and a more productive team, ultimately driving the success of Waco Engineering Services' EPCM projects.

K/M2K Saves 2 Hours of Work per Design Review through Better Remote Teamwork with Autodesk BIM360
During the Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020, K/M2K Architecture and Interior Design found themselves struggling to navigate remote working during a national lockdown. Traditional methods of file sharing were found inefficient and lacking for a team that needed to communicate a lot of information at a high frequency.
From 2D AutoCAD to Intelligent iLogic-driven 3D Inventor Designs
Palian was using 2D AutoCAD in a primarily 3D dominated field, struggling with collaboration between branches and the length of time it would take to make relatively small changes to designs. Getting drawings and quantities to the sales team for quotation purposes took longer than desired and a lot of manual user calculations and input was still needed, which increased the change of costly "human error" mistakes.
DRA Global takes on Project Delays with Innovative use of Technology
DRA Global had to overcome a delay of 25 days over deadline for their Sierra Leone Project, so they needed to find a way to get that time back to avoid running over with this project. The impact of this was on their future expansion projects within the same mine, in Sierra Leone, which would be double the size of the original project.
