T2 Utility Engineers absolutely dominates an interesting North American subsurface utility engineering niche. T2 is “a multi-disciplinary company that focuses on above and below ground utility aspects of any project, from small development jobs to large-scale, billion dollar infrastructure projects.” This devotion to excellence in a construction specialty that many firms consider more of an irritating necessity than a profit center has been highly successful for T2

The Builterra platform addresses key workflows in every civil engineering firm or government design and construction department. We bridge the technology gap between design and as-constructed asset management systems used by government. This gap can encompass up to four working groups at any private civil engineering office or public design & construction group.

Part of the Builterra Civil Engineering Eco-System includes extensive structural inspection and reporting. The Ontario Structures Inspection Manual (OSIM) clearly outlines the inspection criteria for the field engineer.

The City of Toronto Watermain Rehabilitation Program has been delivering Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP) Watermain Structural Lining and Cathodic Protection of existing watermains for several years. In 2015, Builterra was successfully configured and delivered to the local Greater Toronto Area (GTA) consulting engineering community as a better method of delivering contract administration services to the City.

In keeping with the BIM concepts and guidelines that outline “Level” requirements for real value in BIM construction management and integrated project delivery, we need a similar terminology for our industry and technology niche in the infrastructure project delivery world.

Here at Builterra, we create a lot of standard catalogs and bid templates for every kind of client. We see a lot of variation in standards. From very standardized text-based lists like a State DOT, to weird and wonderful excel files from contractors, to “PDF Bid Tabs from the last 4 jobs we did”, we get to help organize this so our clients can start day 1 with bid preparation.

This is our internal method of classifying a list of bid items, so we can deliver consistently for every client.
