Descripción
Become an adopted member of our design team for the session. Encounter a hands-on experience of the different stages of our transition from AutoCAD software to Revit software, and discover the benefits and potential pitfalls along the way. SSEN Transmission projects play a leading role in reducing carbon emissions through infrastructure investment. We're embracing technology to help deliver the large-scale infrastructure growth required to make a decarbonized electricity network a reality. For the design teams, this involves growing our digital design and collaboration capabilities using the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection and Autodesk Construction Cloud. This workshop will focus on our design process for high-voltage substations across a portfolio of live projects. The SSEN Transmission team will demonstrate steps taken to grow a more traditional 2D AutoCAD design process into a collaborative design approach using Revit and Autodesk Construction Cloud. There will be opportunities to interact with models using various applications and hardware.
Aprendizajes clave
- Learn how to take steps to implement a switch from AutoCAD to Revit.
- Learn about upskilling teams while delivering in-flight projects.
- Learn about the value of even just taking small steps.

- CMClare MontgomeryI studied CAD Drafting techniques, 3D modelling and visualisations as a mature student in 2007 and was the only UK finalist in Autodesk Worldwide Student Community 'build something' in my first year. After completing my studies, I worked for a consultancy creating AutoCAD libraries, and standards while doing detail design for High Voltage substations. From there, I joined SSEN Transmission where I have worked since 2014. I was heavily involved in driving the growth & evolution of the team from 2D AutoCAD designs through to 3D collaborative working in Autodesk Construction Cloud, making plenty of mistakes and learning lots along the way. Outside of work, I attended night-classes from 2017 – 2019 to complete a Batchelors Degree in Engineering Management. I was awarded the court medal by the university for the best overall student performance. Later, I attended night-classes from 2019-2020 and achieved a professional development award in BIM from NCL - whos program won best BIM training program in the UK.
Maire ScanlonSince receiving my Bachelor of Arts in Interior Architecture and Design in 2012 from St. John’s Central College in Cork. My career path has been centered around 2D CAD and adaptability across various fields. I have always been interested in the digital construction world, but it was not until I joined SSEN (Scottish and Southern Energy Networks) Transmission that I had the opportunity to explore this area further. In my role, I help design high-voltage substations based on engineer's markups, focusing on efficiency. I have explored various elements of 3D design, including the use of Twinmotion, VR, and AR but my main tool is Revit which I continue to develop. I am passionate about exploring diverse ways of designing that do not cut corners but instead help gain more time and efficiency in the design process. I am not afraid to make mistakes, as I see them as opportunities for growth and learning. My commitment to continuous learning and innovation allows me to contribute effectively to engineering projects, leveraging the latest CAD technologies to enhance design outcomes.- MMMichael MilliganI’m an Engineering Manager with a background in project management, asset engineering and project engineering at client-based infrastructure organisations. Digital for me started at when moving from the drawing board to AutoCAD, at school I undertook an advanced higher in Graphical communication, and was the first year to work on AutoCAD 3D modelling and rendering. This early introduction shaped shaped how I approached education and my career. Working at Scottish Canals as project manager/asset engineer I was within a team developing from a largely paper/spreadsheet based asset management system in to one with digital GIS at its core, I gave a talk hosted by the Institute of Civil Engineers on digital asset engineering on the canals, and ever since I’ve been pushing digital improvement in each role I have undertaken. My role as senior civil engineer at Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks SSEN, responsible for the technical improvement of the civil project engineering team, gave me the remit to lead real change within a discipline. That’s where I started to seriously develop digital practices, my first major win was to work with the CAD team in-house civil 3D capabilities. This brought instant benefit to the engineering development and risk reduction however we wanted more, multi-discipline collaboration was where the real value lay. That brought me working closer with the other engineering disciplines, IT and CAD to develop tools and practices for project wide collaboration and decision making, I have helped to implement a philosophy of digital improvement through in-flight projects, successfully implementing a wide range of design tools to support large scale infrastructure development.
