Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence – The Inevitable Trend in Civil Engineering

In the context of rapid technological development, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Transformation (Digital) are not just trends but have become core factors that help engineers optimize processes, increase productivity, and reduce errors in their work. Properly applying AI can help shorten design time, automate repetitive tasks, and improve data-driven decision-making.

Recognizing this importance, Aidedo organized an internal workshop with the theme “Digital & AI for Aidedo’s Engineers”. The objective of this event was to help Aidedo engineers access new technology while also demonstrating the company’s commitment to continuous training and professional development of its team to provide clients with the most advanced engineering solutions.

Workshop Highlights and Key Speakers

This workshop gathered three key speakers, each covering essential topics:

  • Aiden Tong, CEO of Aidedo – Application of AI and Digital Transformation in the Civil Engineering Industry.
  • Mr. Henry Tran, Civil Director of Aidedo – How AI and ChatGPT Support Engineers.
  • Mr. Sau Pham, Master of Civil Engineering – Practical AI Applications in Civil 3D with a Live Demo of Grok 3.0.

After the presentations, a lively Q&A session was held where engineers engaged in discussions, seeking solutions on how to integrate AI into their practical work.

Presentation by CEO Aiden Tong – Is Digital Transformation a Trend or a Necessity?

At the beginning of the workshop, CEO Aiden Tong emphasized that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Transformation are no longer optional but mandatory in the field of civil engineering.

He started his speech with a critical question:
“Will we embrace AI as an opportunity, or will we let it become a challenge?”

In his presentation, he analyzed key aspects of AI and Digital Transformation, including:

  1. AI is Changing the Way Engineers Work
  • AI-powered tools can automate design processes, reduce manual labor, enhance accuracy, and optimize resources.
  1. Digital Transformation Brings a Competitive Advantage
  • Companies that adopt AI early will be able to shorten project execution times and significantly lower operational costs.
  1. Data Security in AI Usage
  • AI can process massive amounts of data, but this also comes with security risks. Therefore, Aidedo prioritizes strict security measures to ensure that client data remains protected at all times.

Mr. Aiden Tong concluded that AI and digital transformation not only optimize workflows but also open up new opportunities to enhance quality and efficiency in civil engineering.

Presentation by Mr. Henry Tran – How AI and ChatGPT Support Aidedo Engineers

Following CEO Aiden Tong, Mr. Henry Tran discussed the practical use of AI and ChatGPT in engineering tasks. He focused on real-world applications that help engineers save time and work more efficiently.

He introduced three major benefits of AI in engineering workflows:

  1. Automating Email Drafting and Technical Reports
  • AI enables engineers to quickly generate accurate and professional reports while reducing the time spent on documentation.
  1. Analyzing and Extracting Data from Drawings and Technical Documents
  • AI can assist in processing topographic data, interpreting technical drawings, and calculating material volumes, helping engineers make faster and more informed decisions.
  1. Creating AI-Powered Chatbots for Technical Support
  • A practical example presented was a custom-built chatbot for Georgia County, designed to automate consultation and answer infrastructure-related inquiries.

Additionally, Henry Tran provided a step-by-step guide on how to set up an AI-powered chatbot to optimize engineering workflows. With just a few simple steps, engineers could build a virtual assistant that helps analyze data and improve client communication.

Presentation by Mr. Sau Pham – Practical AI Applications in Civil 3D with a Live Demo of Grok 3.0

One of the most anticipated presentations was delivered by Mr. Sau Pham, who showcased a live AI-powered workflow in Civil 3D using Grok 3.0. This session provided engineers with first-hand experience on how AI can enhance efficiency in technical design.

His key discussion points included:

  1. How AI Supports Engineers in Civil 3D
  • Automating repetitive tasks by creating custom macros in Civil 3D.
  • Optimizing infrastructure designs with AI to ensure higher accuracy.
  • Rapidly analyzing topographic data to support effective design decisions.
  1. Live Demonstration: Programming Grok 3.0 in Civil 3D
  • Mr. Sau Pham wrote a custom AI-driven script that automated road and drainage system design.
  • The result? A 50% reduction in design time compared to traditional manual workflows.
  1. Benefits of Using AI in Civil 3D
  • Accelerates the drafting process, allowing engineers to focus on more complex aspects.
  • Minimizes calculation errors, ensuring high precision in engineering designs.
  • Integrates AI-powered automation, enabling engineers to maximize efficiency in project execution.

The live demo demonstrated how AI can be implemented immediately into real-world engineering projects, proving its effectiveness beyond theoretical discussions.

Q&A Session – Practical AI Integration in Engineering Workflows

Following the presentations, the workshop concluded with an interactive Q&A session, where Aidedo engineers raised practical concerns about integrating AI into their daily work.

One of the notable questions came from Mr. Otis Tran, who was particularly interested in how AI can stay updated with real-time project data.

“When we work with AI for design and analysis, input data plays a critical role. How can we ensure AI always uses the latest information, especially when we have changes in drawings or design requirements?”

Mr. Henry Tran responded:

“Great question! To keep AI updated with the latest data, we need to integrate APIs or synchronization tools with AI systems. In civil engineering, connecting AI to real-time data platforms like GIS, BIM, or Civil 3D ensures accurate information. Additionally, engineers must frequently update AI training datasets and guide AI to reference reliable sources instead of outdated information.”

Another engaging discussion was led by Mr. Charles Phan, who was impressed by Mr. Sau Pham’s Grok 3.0 demo and asked:

“In your demo, there was a feature that automated road and drainage system optimization. Could you explain how AI helps engineers improve design quality in Civil 3D?”

Mr. Sau Pham elaborated:

“AI in Civil 3D can detect design errors early, reducing mistakes before the final drawings are issued. Specifically, Grok 3.0 can automatically analyze and adjust slope gradients and elevations in road and drainage systems to ensure optimal performance. This significantly cuts down the time spent on manual adjustments and testing. AI can also generate multiple design scenarios in just minutes, giving engineers more options to choose from.”

Mr. Charles Phan’s final comment:

“This is truly a game-changer. If AI can assist in identifying design flaws and suggesting optimizations, we can save a huge amount of time on revisions. I will definitely explore integrating this into my projects.”
