This project was a new airport terminal,
called the Midfield Terminal that houses 65 aircrafts, 136 screening lanes, and
22 kM conveyor belts.
A Common Data Environment (CDE),
Bentley’s ProjectWise, was used to organize and centralize information and
resources for the project team. ProjectWise made
sharing BIM data within the project team much more efficiently, which saved
cost and time and enhanced project performance. With the BIM information stored
in the cloud via ProjectWise, the team
could implement the following tasks at ease:
1. Forecasting construction schedules
2. Cross checking designs and detecting
clashes
3. Confirming and managing resource
allocation
4. Analyzing data files produced by other
consultants in the team
5. Monitor costs and risks via dashboards
Since management and project coordination were enhanced, structural clashes and interference were then discovered during design stages and were prevented during actual construction, which reduced abortive works. Thanks to BIM, the design team saved over USD$1M and 51,000 working hours due to early stages of clash resolutions between the facade and other trades.
