From Chaos to Clarity: How Digital Twins Revolutionized ITC’s Asset Management

From GFC to As-Built: TRISITA Engineering’s Model Conversion for ITC’s Facility Management.

With as-built drawings not available, the Team stepped in to digitize and streamline ITC’s structure, architecture, and MEP system using Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Construction Cloud. The result? A powerful, accessible asset management system that future-proofs maintenance and operations.

Digitized an entire facility with no existing as-built drawings, creating accurate BIM model from scratch.
Reduced manual asset tracking by 85% with centralized, ACC-hosted data.

Enabled virtual walkthroughs with high-quality renderings.

In the complex world of large-scale infrastructure, accurate and accessible information is the backbone of efficient operations. TRISITA Engineering, partnered with the renowned ITC, to tackle the challenge: the absence of crucial as-built drawings for existing structures.

Leveraging Autodesk Revit, the model digitized the entire facility. The result? A fully interactive digital twin that not only provided a 3D replica of the facility but also integrated critical asset data—from warranty details to maintenance schedules—into a unified system.

The Role of Asset Management in Operations and Maintenance

Asset management is key to keeping operations running smoothly and efficiently. At ITC Sehore, bringing all asset data into a single BIM model made it easy to monitor everything in real time and make faster decisions. Instead of reacting to problems after they happened, the team could plan ahead—scheduling maintenance, replacing parts on time, and using resources more wisely. By connecting each asset, like HVAC units or electrical panels, to its service history and documents, facility managers could catch issues early and fix them before they turned into bigger problems, helping avoid downtime and cut long-term costs.

Asset Management in Operations & Maintenance: Benefits and Impact

Benefits of Asset Management

Centralized Data Access: All facility data—from warranty certificates to technical manuals—was stored and accessed through Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Preventive Maintenance: Regular maintenance schedules were tracked and enforced, reducing unexpected failures.
Reduced Downtime: Fast access to asset history and specifications enabled quicker troubleshooting and part replacements.
Extended Asset Lifecycle: Proper documentation and scheduled servicing prolonged the usability of infrastructure components.
Compliance and Audit Readiness: Easily accessible Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and maintenance logs.

Maintenance Operations Transformed- Before going digital, maintenance was mostly reactive and slow. With the new BIM-based system, work orders are now generated from the model, and maintenance teams can easily see where everything is and what needs to be done. Outdated manual processes have been replaced with smart checklists and automatic alerts, making everything faster and more efficient.

Client-Side Benefits-For ITC, the impact of the project extended far beyond just improving day-to-day facilities management. It empowered leadership with meaningful, data-driven insights that supported smarter decision-making, whether for forecasting maintenance costs or planning long-term infrastructure upgrades. The detailed visual walkthroughs and interactive models also became valuable tools for onboarding and training new staff, helping them get up to speed quickly without relying solely on-site visits. Additionally, by streamlining operations and reducing inefficiencies, the initiative contributed to ITC’s broader sustainability goals—cutting down on unnecessary resource use and minimizing the environmental footprint of its facilities.

One Platform, Full Access: ACC Integration

Hosting the project on Autodesk Construction Cloud was a game-changer. It allowed:

Remote access to all asset data
Role-based viewing/editing for engineers and maintenance teams
A centralized hub for documents, walkthroughs, and updates
Streamlined collaboration across departments

Now, ITC’s facility team could manage their entire building’s lifecycle from a single digital interface.

This wasn’t just about viewing models; it was about transforming them into dynamic asset management tools. TRISITA Engineering meticulously enriched each element within the models with detailed information. Think of it like this: clicking on an air conditioning unit in the 3D model would instantly reveal its make, model, range, maintenance history, warranty certificates, and any other relevant documentation like Technical Data Sheets (TDS).

Visualizing the Invisible: Rendered Walkthroughs and Videos

To support stakeholder communication and facilities training, high-quality rendering walkthrough videos were produced for each building. These videos, created using Revit’s rendering tools, gave ITC’s facility managers and teams a visual tour of the structures and systems, helping them understand layout, access points, and component placements without stepping onto the site.

It wasn’t just documentation—it was storytelling with data. With the completed model, the next step was linking critical asset information to each component. Using Autodesk Build (part of Autodesk Construction Cloud), embedded:

Equipment details (make, model, installation date).
Warranty certificates & maintenance logs.
Technical Data Sheets (TDS) for compliance tracking.

Now, ITC’s facility managers could click on any element—be it an HVAC unit or electrical panel—and instantly access its full history.

Conclusion: A Blueprint for Digital Transformation

What started as a need to digitize has turned into a long-term strategic asset for ITC. Over a focused project timeline of six to seven months, TRISITA Engineering delivered a truly transformative solution for ITC. The main outputs – the comprehensive as-built models and the robust asset management system. The entire workflow has been digitized, providing unparalleled access to critical information. This means no more searching through old blueprints or struggling to find warranty details. Everything is now at their fingertips, leading to significantly improved operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and extended asset lifecycles. TRISITA Engineering’s expertise, combined with the power of Autodesk technology, has set ITC on a path towards a more efficient and digitally empowered.
