Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Mandates BIM Level 2 Methodology to Deliver Kuala Lumpur’s Metro Project - 1

Project Summary Organization Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Solution Rail and Transit Location Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Project Objectives • Design and construct the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya (SSP) metro line. • Implement a collaborative BIM strategy to support the entire project and asset lifecycles. Products Used AssetWise'", ContextCapture, ComplyPro, MicroStation®, OpenRail"Connected Data Environment®, PLAXIS®, ProjectWise®, STAAD.Pro® Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Mandates BIM Level 2 Methodology to Deliver Kuala Lumpur's Metro Project Bentley's BIM Technology Provides a Connected Data Environment to Reduce Rework and Improve Productivity by 35 Percent Fast Facts • The SSP line will improve transportation in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley region of Malaysia. • MRT Corp monitors and coordinates more than 20 disciplines during design and construction of the line. • MRT Corp's OpenRail CDE facilitates design collaboration, improves construction feasibility, and delivers accurate as-built information. • MRT Corp's implementation of digital BIM workflows is driving innovation and BIM adoption throughout the Malaysian construction industry. roi MRT Corp's OpenRail CDE enabled seamless sharing of accurate information in real time increasing productivity by 35 percent. Bentley software enables the integration of design and asset information with MRT Corp's CMMS to ensure optimal asset lifecycle performance. Bentley software enables early validation of asset data and improved accuracy of tag registration to avoid late changes. Metro Mega Project Adopts BIM Level 2 An urban agglomeration of over 7 million people, the Greater Kuala Lumpur-Klang Valley region is among the fastest-growing metropolitan regions in Southeast Asia in population and economic development. To support these increases, Malaysia's Ministry of Finance set up Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRT Corp) as a special purpose vehicle to deliver the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) project, a planned three-line modern railway system to improve transport and reduce traffic congestion in the region. With the first line completed in July 2017, MRT Corp is pushing its deliverables for the second line, the Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya (SSP) line, beyond meeting time and budget constraints, to increasing productivity and reducing on-site construction changes related to design discrepancies. Spanning 52.2 kilometers, of which 13.5 kilometers are underground, with 35 stations, the MYR 32 billion SSP line is a complicated project with enormous amounts of data and globally dispersed consultants and stakeholders, amounting to more than 20 different disciplines exchanging and sharing information. To optimize control and accuracy of project data, and improve design collaboration, construction feasibility, and accuracy of as-built information, MRT Corp initiated a BIM Level 2 strategy. MRT Corp established a connected data environment using Bentley applications as its foundation to capture, share, and exchange information throughout the project lifecycle. Establishing a Connected Data Environment To achieve BIM Level 2, MRT Corp is using Bentley's OpenRail Connected Data Environment (CDE) and is mandating that all project stakeholders and design consultants on the SSP line collaborate and exchange data, design models, and asset information via the platform. Stated Poh Seng Tiok, director, planning and design at MRT Corp, "The Bentley CDE platform provides a seamless solution for MRT Corp in our BIM Level 2 workflow and supports sharing project information throughout the entire project lifecycle." Using Bentley's federated platform hosted on Microsoft's Azure cloud-based services enabled over 1,500 users to collaborate on approximately 7,500 models and more than 280,000 documents and drawings corresponding to 2.3 terabytes of project data in a controlled environment. The teams leveraged ProjectWise for real-time information sharing, design visualization and coordination, virtual design reviews, and distribution of drawings, schedules, and equipment lists. Given the complexity of linking all the new stations with existing stations and infrastructure, including the monorail, MRT Corp needed to determine how these stations interact with one another. Using design visualization and federated modeling the teams could see and navigate through the models to design the entrances, underground spaces, tunnels, and the complicated MEP system in an integrated manner. During bi-weekly virtual design reviews conducted through the CDE, teams can check the status of the designs and look for any issues, extracting the information required to ensure optimal interaction within and among the different stations. Working in a cloud-based CDE enabled seamless synchronization and data exchange among all stakeholders, internal and external, allowing every project discipline to work dynamically using the federated models to coordinate the design. This collaborative BIM solution improved design efficiency and significantly reduced design clashes, avoiding the numerous on-site construction changes experienced during the delivery of the initial SBK metro line. It facilitated accurate information sharing to reduce design rework and increased productivity by 35 percent. ContextCapture for Design Accuracy and Construction Monitoring To verify design accuracy, the team used 3D photogrammetry in ContextCapture, importing point clouds into the 3D construction models to reference existing conditions. Integrating the BIM models with the point cloud, as well as with MRT Corp's award-winning GIS platform, enabled the team to visualize the Titiwangsa train station, for example, in context with the monorail, existing station, and the surrounding buildings. Using the software, engineers could verify that the structural model is accurate and located correctly before reviewing the design to optimize future connections.
