Innovation

This portfolio showcases a few innovative JMT projects Shelby has worked on.

Utilizing augmented reality to experience full-scale 3D modeling

Delivering Model Coordination available with Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro

This pump station project alleviated flooding issues along Huger Street in Charleston, SC. Shelby was the site designer, completing all grading modeling and site plan production for civil discipline with the exception of utilities. She coordinated with the project team, assisted in training and guiding younger staff on best practices for modeling and design, and provided design support as she moved into the CIM Manager role.

Leveraging technology to protect the City of Charleston, SC, with a modern drainage design.

Given historic Charleston’s unique drainage challenges and the importance of improved drainage in the overarching project, Shelby and JMT’s modeling team chose InfoDrainage for the stormwater drainage design portion of the project. With InfoDrainage’s close integration with Civil 3D, the team found the software easy to implement into their design cycle for the project.
