Digital Twin Campus Initiative Drives Smart Facilities Management for Hong Kong Science Park - 1

CASE STUDY Project Summary Organization Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation & Chain Technology Development Co. Limited Solution Reality Modeling Location Hong Kong Project Objectives • Develop hybrid modeling solutions to visualize, simulate, and analyze real-time data. • Extend the scope of reality and information modeling to facilitate digital twin campus initiatives. • Create a connected data environment with big data management and artificial intelligence. Products Used ContextCapture, Descartes, LumenRT, MicroStation®, OpenCities™ Map, Pointools Fast Facts • Bentley’s reality modeling and BIM applications provided the foundation for a hybrid modeling platform to transform HKSP into a digital campus. • HKSP serves as a “smart” prototype to realize Hong Kong’s digital city vision. ROI • The team completed reality modeling of the 22-hectare campus in two days using ContextCapture. • Bentley’s integrated technology solution increased efficiency, reduced remedial work, and enhanced decision-making through a connected data environment. Digital Twin Campus Initiative Drives Smart Facilities Management for Hong Kong Science Park Bentley Applications Provide Georeferenced Data to Facilitate Hybrid Reality Modeling A Digital Replica for Science Park As a statutory body dedicated to building a vibrant innovation and technology ecosystem, Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) spearheads the Hong Kong Science Park (HKSP), providing an environment for organizations to foster innovative technology development throughout the region. The HKSP, a campus hosting 350 technology companies located along the Tolo Harbor waterfront, houses 21 state-of-the-art buildings covering 3.5 million square feet and still expanding. The technology clusters contribute to devising innovative solutions for a smart city. It is positioned to be a smart campus that is used by forward-looking smart city initiatives as a test bed and a living lab. “We aim to collect valuable data to enable future innovation and leverage artificial intelligence (AI), big data management, and Internet of Things (IoT) to create a smart campus,” Simon Wong, chief project development officer at HKSTP, said. Specializing in big data analytics, building information modeling (BIM) processes, and hybrid reality modeling, CHAIN Technology Development, one of the incubatees of HKSTP’s LEAP program, was retained to provide the digital twin solution, which the organization called the Hybrid Reality Platform (HRP), for the HKSP. The project presents massive amounts of 2D object data and 3D geospatial data in varying formats, which have collected from IoT devices. CHAIN utilizes HRP to visualize, simulate, analyze, and manage the IoT data amid continued infrastructure development and ongoing construction of the park. Such a complicated data management platform required technology that was capable of programming large-sized BIM objects and 3D reality meshes within a cloud-based platform and establishing digital workflows, components, and context to drive the smart city initiative. 3D modeling environment, georeferencing capabilities, and clash analysis features to accommodate the large files and ensure that the BIM models replicated the realworld environment. With images taken from unmanned aerial vehicles, the team generated a reality mesh of the entire existing 22-hectare campus area with ContextCapture in two days. OpenCities Map (formerly Bentley Map) established a location intelligence framework to georeference the 3D models and data objects. Bentley’s integrated modeling applications generated an accurate, georeferenced 3D map, providing the basis for a centralized digital campus platform. Bentley’s BIM applications provided the modeling and analysis for the buildings and supporting infrastructure. Additionally, ContextCapture optimized reality modeling for both existing and new development areas of the park, facilitating accurate conceptual design and enabling dynamic 4D construction monitoring and management. The interoperability of Bentley software enabled the integration of sophisticated 3D digital maps, models, reality meshes, and a wide range of geospatial data in varying formats to develop a connected data environment. Interoperability Establishes Collaborative Framework To establish a 3D collaborative data infrastructure, CHAIN leveraged the power of Bentley’s BIM and reality modeling technology. Using MicroStation provided the comprehensive Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation & Chain Technology Development, Ltd. was able to create a reality mesh of the entire 22
