He will be joining HDR’s group of digital delivery transportation experts, who are assisting clients across North America in developing digital delivery standards and planning for agency-wide implementation of digital delivery. As the adoption of 3D model-based deliverables increases, he will also work with HDR’s construction engineering and construction management experts to improve interdisciplinary coordination, manage project risks, and optimize constructability.
“The opportunities today are nearly endless as our industry is on the precipice of this digital transformation,” Martin said. “I truly believe that BIM/digital delivery is a more efficient and accurate method for creating, delivering, managing, and maintaining U.S. infrastructure networks. My passion has and always will be assisting DOTs and other agencies with strategic planning for their migration to a BIM-based program.”
Martin spent 25 years with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, primarily working in design technology. Martin led the DOT’s migration to a BIM-based business model and oversaw the implementation of advanced modeling software and practices. He was also President of the Highway Engineering Exchange Program in 2017 and served for several years on the board of directors. He was honored with HEEP’s Ken Close Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021.
