Digital Delivery
With more than a decade of programmatic and Model as a Legal Document (MALD) project design experience, Kimley-Horn has been pioneering digital delivery technology and processes since its inception in the US transportation industry. We work hand in hand with agencies, the design and construction industry, and technology companies to exchange information, provide training and partnership to deliver digital delivery projects and programs.
At the Forefront of Innovation
As transportation agencies across the country seek to reduce project delivery time, cost, and risk; increase collaboration and innovation; and improve project outcomes and quality, digital delivery is bringing remarkable benefits to owners, engineers, and stakeholders. Kimley-Horn excels in every phase of the digital delivery project lifecycle, from inception and design to delivery and asset management.
By integrating digital twin technologies and developing innovative approaches, we have delivered seven major digital delivery projects and programs—demonstrating our commitment to advancing project and design outcomes for our clients. Our teams have supported state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) nationwide for over a decade, providing a wide range of services to support their development and implementation of digital delivery programs, from planning to full organizational adoption and integration.
For owners and engineers, digital delivery offers enhanced clarity in conveying design intentions for construction and asset management, more opportunities for collaboration and integration within design and construction processes, and invaluable digital twins for future asset management. For contractors, it offers unparalleled clarity regarding design details and quantities, helping to improve bid accuracy and streamline construction.
