Sweco, one of Europe’s leading engineering and environmental consultancies, set out to embed sustainability earlier in its infrastructure design process. To support this vision, Sweco partnered with ORIS Materials Intelligence to refine and implement the ORIS plug-in for infrastructure LCA, a tool that would integrate carbon insights directly into its Autodesk® Civil 3D® workflows.
It eliminates time-consuming manual calculations and automates the entire carbon assessment process, thus enabling engineers to make infrastructure more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible.
Stuart Guthrie – Technical Director at Sweco, said:
“The ORIS plug-in for infrastructure LCA for Autodesk® Civil 3D® is a game-changer. What used to take two days now takes less than two hours. We instantly extract data from drawings, cut out manual entry and errors, and optimise carbon and cost in seconds — including rapid calculations and material swaps with a click.
“The ORIS plug-in for infrastructure LCA for Autodesk® Civil 3D makes® it easy for clients to understand how carbon benefits can quickly be realised. It simplifies complex data, helping decision-makers confidently take action on carbon reduction.”
