Case Study – Arup Boston

Engineering is a complex process and Arup, the global consulting firm, needed a way to bring their resources together. They wanted to use digital tools and drawings in their collaboration sessions to improve decision-making and discussions around complex construction challenges.

Arup’s mission is to help clients solve large, complex construction challenges by harnessing its diverse skills to constantly expand what is technically possible. Arup operates in an industry that is changing fast. Innovative, advanced design and construction techniques that only a few years ago were not even envisioned are now routinely deployed.

As with most industries, increasing digitalisation enables new ways of working, and Arup has embraced the latest technologies with enthusiasm. The company has an ongoing need to demonstrate to its clients how their concepts and designs will look, which includes viewing plans and graphics in considerable detail. Close liaison is essential, not just with clients but also between Arup’s many employees whose skills encompass a range of complementary disciplines. Effective collaboration allows the expertise of each member of Arup’s multidisciplinary project teams to be combined for better decision-making. Such collaboration is often best done on large displays, using sophisticated AV technology. This facilitates the creation of optimal design and construction plans, so the company can meet – and exceed – client expectations.
