Trimble Infrastructure Design Suite

A unified platform where GIS, CAD and BIM data converge into a digital twin. Bridging the gap between office and field via cloud collaboration, IDS supports the project lifecycle, from modeling existing conditions to delivering machine-ready data.

One unified model

From concept to constructible digital twin

Iteratively design roads, railways, bridges and tunnels that follow core alignments automatically. Parametric modeling and model dependencies ensure that when one element changes, the entire model stays coordinated.

Core capabilities of Infrastructure Design Suite

The Trimble Infrastructure Design Suite is a comprehensive offering that combines the specialized engineering of Trimble Novapoint, the object-based collaboration of Trimble Quadri and the cloud-powered data management of Trimble Connect.

Existing situation modeling

Aggregate terrain, subsurface and GIS data into a validated foundation for design without manual cleanup.

Integrated utilities

Design water and sewer networks in 3D directly against terrain and road subsurfaces.

Automated task management

Track every change with a task-based timeline, providing a live audit trail for project managers.

Regional compliance

Design with local standards for road, rail and utilities. Create advanced traffic signs and gantry models compliant with national specifications.

Testimonials

What are Trimble customers saying?

The purpose of the Quadri model is to be an assembled discipline collaboration model, in which the various disciplines simultaneously participate in the design.

Early-stage optimization

Smarter route alternatives with Trimble Quantm

Use Trimble Quantm to evaluate thousands of route alternatives. By integrating environmental, legal and construction costs, Quantm identifies the most sustainable and cost-effective corridor, reducing planning time and project risk.

Faster feasibility: Test "what-if" road and rail alignments in days using path-finding algorithms.
Environmental compliance: Automatically avoid restricted zones and respect community constraints from the start.
Cost-driven decisions: Get instant earthwork and cost estimates to align budgets before detailed design.
Ecosystem integration: A standalone solution that integrates into the Trimble ecosystem for early-phase optimization.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still use my existing design tools like Civil 3D?

Yes. Infrastructure Design Suite features bidirectional desktop connectors that enable feature-to-feature workflows with external applications such as Civil 3D, OpenRoads and Tekla Structures.

How does Infrastructure Design Suite improve office-to-field workflows?

Infrastructure Design Suite produces constructible models that can be delivered directly to site devices via WorksManager or through open formats like IFC 4.3 and LandXML.

What is the benefit of an object-based model over file sharing?

Unlike static file sharing, Trimble Infrastructure Design Suite integrates data into a single, live and object-based environment. This eliminates productivity losses and version errors caused by disconnected silos, enabling real-time collaboration and iterative design within a common coordinate system.

Which industry data formats does the suite support?

The Trimble Infrastructure Design Suite is built on an OpenBIM philosophy. It natively supports IFC 4.3, as well as LandXML, DWG, DGN and TTM, ensuring you can meet strict digital delivery requirements and exchange data across the project lifecycle.

Where is my project data hosted and is it secure?

Your data is hosted on the scalable Quadri Gen 5 cloud (powered by Microsoft Azure). To meet local compliance and security needs, we offer regional data residency in several locations, including the EU, US and UK.
