CCC Enhances ROI on Midfield Terminal Project at Abu Dhabi Airport Using BIM-driven Approach - 1

CASE STUDY Project Summary Organization: Consolidated Contractors Company on behalf of TCA-JV (The Joint Venture of TAV, CCC, and Arabtec) Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Project Objective: • Design and construct a USD 3 billion, 7 million square-foot terminal building for the Abu Dhabi International Airport. • Run the design/build project employing a totally BIM-driven approach using one BIM platform so all stakeholders could share information and collaborate with ease. Products used: AECOsim Building Designer, ProjectWise, InRoads, Bentley Navigator, MicroStation Fast Facts • ProjectWise stored, managed, and secured all project BIM data and enabled efficient distribution of the latest project files to all stakeholders. • TCA-JV used a wide range of integrated Bentley products to operationalize a comprehensive BIM process spanning the entire project lifecycle. • Leveraging information in ProjectWise, TCA-JV accurately forecasted construction schedules, performed logistics studies, and validated resource requirements. ROI • TCA-JV saved a considerable amount of money and 900 man-hours by eliminating just one major clash. • TCA-JV reduced the cycle of critical RFIs from 28 days to two to seven days. • TCA-JV saved on the cost of buying and leasing five new cranes by relocating the tower crane to meet needs using a 4D BIM model simulation. CCC Enhances ROI on Midfield Terminal Project at Bentley InRoads Using BIM-driven Approach Abu Dhabi Airport ® Powerful tools for the design of civil infrastructure ProjectWise, Enables Seamless Bentley’s BIM Software, including AECOsim Building Designer and Information Sharing and Collaboration across All Project Disciplines and Stakeholders Envisioning a Highly Complex, Large-scale Project When Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), part of the TCA Joint Venture (TCA-JV) of TAV, CCC and Arabtec, was awarded the contract to build the USD 3 billion, 7 million square-foot Midfield Terminal Building at Abu Dhabi International Airport, it had to meet a key customer requirement: completing this design/build project using a totally BIM-driven approach. “It was the first time that a customer asked us to run a project of this scale and complexity within one BIM platform so all stakeholders could share information and collaborate,” explained CCC Manager IS-Automation and Engineering Project BIM Manager Issam El-Absi. To meet this requirement, TCA-JV turned to Bentley software to implement a BIM solution. The client’s vision for the new Midfield Terminal Building project was both exciting and ambitious. It would involve the design and construction of a complete terminal building including passenger and cargo facilities, duty-free shops, and restaurants for a total capacity of up to 40 million people per year. The unique, X-shaped building would be located between two runways, making design and construction particularly difficult. “The client also wanted the design to provide an open and airy feel by incorporating large, column-free zones with steel-leaning arches supporting the soaring roof,” explained El-Absi. “The complexity of the structure in both design and shape posed a number of unusual engineering, construction, and procurement challenges.” Because of the complexity and scale of the project, the client, the Abu Dhabi Airports (ADA), required the main contractor awarded the contract to develop, communicate, and share a comprehensive BIM solution for all disciplines – including subcontractors and manufacturers. Specifically, the general contractor had to support: • Engineering and design – including clash mitigation, design coordination, an RFI system, and shop drawings; • Project controls and planning – including earned value and 4D studies; • Contractual and quantity surveying – including quantity take-offs and measurements; • Manufacturing – including digital fabrication; • As-Built and hand-over – such as facility management. • Other areas – including site logistics, temporary installations, scaffolding, and formwork. Using a BIM-driven process would facilitate the delivery of the project through the entire project lifecycle – and ultimately help to minimize risk and to ensure project success. Use of BIM allowed TCA-JV to guarantee constructability, saving time, money, and effort. Leaning on Trusted BIM Technology from Bentley The TCA-JV was chosen as general contractor for this project because of its many years of experience using BIM to drive large, complex projects to completion. “Our BIM department has been using Bentley software for 17 years to create our own BIM environment for client projects,” explained El-Absi. “For this project, we decided to consolidate our knowledge and years of experience – and all of our systems that we have implemented – to prove to ADA, the industry, and our company that our BIM focus since 1997 has been worth the time and investment.” While TCA-JV had never applied its BIM environment to complete a project of this scale, management knew Bentley software was capable of managing a megaproject like this one. It used Bentley’s comprehensive software offerings for the collaborative design and multi-discipline engineering,

“We could customize Bentley’s software to support our own workflows and integrate with our in-house systems and project control applications. Bentley’s solutions are interoperable and support Bentley’s native i-model format, which we use to facilitate cooperation with other BIM solutions and stakeholders. ”   Issam El-Absi, manager IS-automation and engineering, Consolidated Contractors Company project BIM manager – CCC Centers BIM manager construction, and delivery of the building project to meet most of the project’s requirements. “We could customize Bentley’s software to support CCC...
