SUMMARY:Congressional Briefing: Retrofitting for Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Extreme weather events\, including hurricanes\, wildfires\, and severe storms\, have caused devastating financial and human losses across the U.S.\, with cumulative disaster costs reaching nearly $3 trillion since 1980. In 2024 alone\, 27 major disasters resulted in damage exceeding $1 billion each\, underscoring the urgent need for resilience measures to protect lives\, property\, and local economies. \nThe 2025 Moving Forward report Retrofitting for Resilience outlines the urgent need for proactive investment in disaster mitigation strategies. It highlights that every $1 spent on resilience can yield up to $13 in savings from avoided losses\, according to the 2019 National Institute of Building Sciences Mitigation Saves Study. It also urges policymakers\, industry leaders\, and communities to take immediate action to support the retrofitting of buildings and infrastructure for enhanced resilience in the face of increasingly frequent and severe natural disasters. \nJoin us for a Congressional briefing on the findings of the new report\, which outlines how strategic investments in disaster mitigation can save lives\, protect property\, and strengthen local economies. This timely discussion will highlight: \n\nEvidence-based strategies for retrofitting buildings and infrastructure\n\n\nPolicy recommendations to support resilient communities nationwide\n\n\nS. 1323: The Facilitating Increased Resilience\, Environmental Weatherization and Lowered Liability (FIREWALL) Act\n\n  \nKeep scrolling for a video of the briefing.

SUMMARY:Implementation of BIM/Digital Twins at MTA NY
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will provide a case study on how the Metropolitan Transportation Authority – NY (henceforth MTA) approaches and implements BIM and Digital Twins\, including valuable insights\, lessons learned\, and best practices. It will also examine the software stack on which MTA has standardized for BIM and Digital Twins\, and describe data management practices employed for these technologies. \nMTA owns and/or operates significant transportation assets in the NYC Metropolitan Area\, including a subway and bus network within the city itself\, commuter railroads out to the suburbs\, and several vehicular bridges & tunnels. MTA has been implementing BIM on select capital projects for the last 15 years. Over the past few years MTA has started combining other digital data\, such as point clouds\, reality models\, and photogrammetry with the BIM models\, thus creating Digital Twins. Since 2022\, BIM has been required on a greater portion of capital projects\, thus accelerating the rate of implementation. Although MTA’s assets are primarily horizontal\, early BIM projects focused on discrete\, vertical facilities\, such as passenger stations\, fan plants\, bus depots\, and signal buildings. However\, over the past few years MTA has also been modeling horizontal (civil) assets that are receiving capital work\, such as tracks\, bridges\, and subsurface utilities. Session Description- This presentation will provide a case study on how the Metropolitan Transportation Authority – NY (henceforth MTA) approaches and implements BIM and Digital Twins\, including valuable insights\, lessons learned\, and best practices. \n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn about MTA’S- BIM Directive & Evaluation Criteria\, BIM Statistics.\nLearn about MTA- Data integration and Standard Libraries.\nLearn about- MTA’S Digital Twin Platform.\nLearn what Digital Twin Implementation challenges MTA has faced\, and related Lessons Learned.
