Italian construction firm SIMICO S.p.A. has completed extensive infrastructure work for the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Games using connected digital delivery methods that integrate BIM, cloud collaboration, and real-time coordination tools.
To manage nearly 100 infrastructure and sports-related projects across northern Italy, SIMICO implemented a shared digital platform built around Autodesk Construction Cloud (now Autodesk Forma). This platform centrally coordinated design, documentation, approvals, and construction workflows, enabling multiple stakeholders to work with the same up-to-date information across all phases of delivery.
Teams used BIM Collaborate Pro for multidisciplinary model coordination, allowing clashes and design discrepancies to be identified and resolved early, reducing rework and improving timeline predictability. On-site crews accessed plans and models via mobile interfaces, ensuring the field and office operated from the same data environment.
SIMICO also extended its digital approach into the operations phase by building digital twins through Autodesk Tandem, capturing crucial information to support future maintenance and long-term asset performance — underlining how BIM is increasingly used beyond design and construction and into lifecycle management.
Why it matters:
Large-scale public infrastructure programs are demonstrating that connected digital delivery, enabled by BIM and cloud tools, can handle complex coordination across regions, projects, and stakeholders — providing a model for future national-level programs.
