Lachmi Khemlani, Ph.D., of AECbytes has published a very detailed and insightful article on SITEOPS for her regular "Building the Future" section. She grasps the full potential of optimization technology and even points out possible future applications in related fields. AECbytes is well known for its focus on innovation in the building industry, so we're excited about the coverage.
From the conclusion of her article:
"The implementation of SITEOPS seems like a no-brainer for any civil engineering or land development project, as it can not only reduce project time and risk, but also lead to substantial savings on grading, layout, and piping costs by exploring billions of possible solutions to find the most optimized ones. It allows extensive what-if analysis such as the implications of a bigger versus smaller building footprint, the position and orientation of the building on the site, roads through the site, delivery truck routes, parallel parking versus angular parking, and so on. I also found the application very easy to learn and use..."
