CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2024

The idea of digitizing the design, construction and operations of airport facilities is rather loosely defined today by the aviation industry. This session will provide a greater understanding of how well-defined building information model requirements and virtual design and construction processes from capital programs can enhance both the delivery of airport facilities (including their buildings, roadways and other railway infrastructure components) and their ongoing operations.

The first half of the session will focus on Information Management best practice, and how common data environments have changed the delivery landscape for many airports around the world. Whilst enabling optimal collaborative workflows within a Design-Build project delivery model for large capital investment programs. The session will also describe how such delivery methodologies are a key enabler for the ‘Digital Twin’ era. In the second half we will hear from some of the leading US Airports and Design-Builders on what the term ‘Smart Airport’ means to them, and openly discuss how these airports are preparing BIM programs to adapt and optimize their information management procedures to deliver operational efficiencies utilizing content provided by capital delivery.

Objectives:

• Define how Design-Build enables the effective collaboration to maximize the benefit of BIM.

• Demonstrate how the use of BIM in Aviation has grown over the last 5+ years

• Explore why cross team collaboration is critical for program success

• Describe how a coordinated team approach can reduce risk, time and cost and rework
