Cantos Inc. Scope of Services: Cantos Inc. collaborated with AECOM and GG Engineering on the MTA-owned Railcar A&T Design-Build Project, utilizing advanced 3D modeling techniques to focus on mechanical and engineering equipment design. We prepared design deliverables for each assigned discipline and work area. These deliverables included OpenBuildings Designer (OBD) models and MicroStation drawings.

With a strong focus on both 2D and 3D modeling, Cantos Inc. has developed extensive expertise in this field. Our involvement encompassed the 3D modeling of various shop equipment for the railcar and mechanical components, employing industry-leading BIM software such as Bentley’s MicroStation and OBD. The 3D models were indispensable to the Railcar A&T DB Project, allowing for realistic visualization.
