Case Study: Arcadis achieves under-budget modernization of 20 Ohio toll plazas and 50-ton carbon reduction with Autodesk BIM 360

How Arcadis Delivered a Large-Scale Toll Road Update Under Budget

Arcadis, a global design, engineering, and consultancy firm, was tasked with a $15 million modernization of 20 toll plazas on the Ohio Turnpike and faced tight seven‑day lane windows, dispersed contractor crews, weather and traffic risks, and supply‑chain pressures. To standardize data and enable real‑time coordination, Arcadis upgraded its BIM 360 instance to Autodesk Construction Cloud and piloted Autodesk Build—leveraging the Autodesk BIM 360 platform to centralize communication, templates, and workflows across teams 1,800 miles apart.

Using Autodesk Build on the Autodesk BIM 360 platform, Arcadis instituted centralized document and cost management, Sheets and Meetings tools, and an automation between Forms and Cost Management to speed pay applications and approvals. The approach delivered the project under budget and ahead of schedule, cut carbon emissions by 50 tons, improved productivity by 25%, reduced manual‑process risk by 75%, sped pay‑application turnaround by 65% (from up to three months to three weeks), produced a $1.6M credit for OTIC, and resulted in no recordable safety incidents.
