Autodesk InfraWorks Integration

6B works with local authorities, central government departments, public infrastructure bodies, and engineering technology providers to deliver high-quality integrations with Autodesk InfraWorks. Whether you’re synchronising geospatial datasets, automating model updates, connecting planning systems, or embedding InfraWorks insights into operational platforms, our integrations enhance efficiency, quality, and asset-lifecycle visibility.

Our mission is to help government organisations modernise infrastructure design and planning by enabling seamless, secure data exchange between InfraWorks and the digital tools used across planning, engineering, and asset management.

Understanding Autodesk InfraWorks

Autodesk InfraWorks is a powerful infrastructure modelling and design platform used to create, analyse, and visualise large-scale infrastructure projects. It integrates geospatial data, 3D models, civil engineering designs, environmental information, and asset datasets into an immersive, unified digital environment that supports early-stage design, stakeholder engagement, and detailed planning.

InfraWorks supports integration through a range of APIs and data exchange standards, including REST APIs, Autodesk Forge, SQL Server data access, GIS connectors, and industry-standard formats such as IFC, CityGML, DWG, and SHP. These interfaces allow external applications to push and pull data, trigger model updates, automate workflows, and access assets programmatically.

The platform integrates with design tools such as Civil 3D, Revit, BIM 360, and ArcGIS systems, as well as asset management, planning, permitting, and digital twin platforms. With strong support for BIM workflows, geospatial intelligence, and multi-disciplinary collaboration, InfraWorks serves as a central hub for infrastructure modelling and visualisation.

Our Autodesk InfraWorks Integration Process

We begin every integration project with a structured discovery phase to understand your operational, technical, and data requirements. Typical goals include automated import of GIS data, synchronising asset information, generating or updating models, linking planning applications, or creating dashboards powered by InfraWorks datasets.

Our architects design a secure, scalable integration architecture using Autodesk Forge APIs, REST endpoints, data exchange formats, and structured ETL pipelines. We account for important considerations such as geospatial accuracy, data lineage, permissions, model complexity, performance constraints, and version control.

6B accelerates development using reusable integration components including geospatial transformers, metadata mappers, automated exporters/importers, authentication modules, and workflow orchestrators. All integration features undergo rigorous testing to validate data integrity, performance, interoperability, and compliance with public-sector security expectations.

During deployment, we coordinate with engineering teams, GIS teams, IT departments, and operational stakeholders to ensure a smooth rollout. Once live, we provide long-term maintenance, monitoring, update management, and optimisation to ensure your integration remains secure, reliable, and aligned with InfraWorks platform updates and evolving digital standards.

Benefits of Autodesk InfraWorks Integration

Integrating your systems with InfraWorks transforms how infrastructure data is created, shared, and used. Automated synchronisation reduces manual rework, improves data accuracy, and ensures models reflect the latest geospatial and engineering information across connected platforms.

Enhanced collaboration supports multi-disciplinary teams working across planning, engineering, asset management, and public engagement. Real-time or scheduled integrations provide clearer visibility into project progress, environmental impact, and cost implications.

For public-sector bodies, integrated InfraWorks workflows support faster planning decisions, improved record keeping, clearer communication with stakeholders, and better long-term asset insights. For technology providers, InfraWorks integration increases product capability, relevance, and adoption across government and infrastructure sectors.
