CASE STUDY es in Bentley gn Team to not nd Categories d infinite ents. This n thematic lso facilitating nalyseProject Summary data Organization: Sydney Airport Solution: Government Location: New South Wales, Australia Project Objective: • Implement a high-quality airport infrastructure facilities management system using innovative engineering and geospatial applications. • Dynamically share data and enable self-service for project stakeholders to eliminate data redundancies and improve operational efficiency. Products used: ProjectWise®, Bentley Geo Web Publisher, MicroStation®, Bentley Descartes, Bentley Map, Bentley Map Mobile, Bentley Pointools, ProjectWise Web Explorer, Bentley Geo Web Map Viewer, Bentley Navigator, and ProjectWise WorkSite Fast Facts • The airport design team used Bentley Map to map the facilities’ assets, and to produce on-demand thematic models for use in various airport databases. • ProjectWise serves as the primary data storage for facilities design and business-related content, providing a single source of truth for the system. • Bentley Geo Web Publisher provides a self-service portal giving stakeholders quick, easy access to design and geospatial data. ROI • The AIFMS provides a secure information environment and eliminates data redundancy, saving an estimated 12,395 resource hours per year. Sydney Airport Optimizes Multi-discipline Collaboration with Infrastructure Facilities Management System Bentley Technology Delivers a Single Source of Truth for Effective Information Mobility among Project Teams Occupying 2,239 acres with more than 400 buildings, three terminals, three runways, and associated taxiways, Sydney Airport is one of Australia’s most important pieces of infrastructure, generating economic activity equivalent to 6.4 percent for New South Wales and providing 306,700 jobs. The airport’s design team is responsible for maintenance, documentation, and guardianship of civil, architectural, airfield design, and services databases, as well as leasing documents, airspace protection, and numerous presentation drawings. On a monthly basis the airport’s designers generate dozens of complex, time-consuming maps and facility drawings required to meet corporate and regulatory requirements. To manage compliance with operational safety measures and ensure stakeholder collaboration throughout all phases of facility design, construction, and maintenance, the department needed to streamline workflows and facilitate production of accurate drawings and information—then update, publish, share, and disseminate efficiently. Using Bentley technology, the design team created a self-service facilities management system that provides quick and easy access to layout and geospatial data, and improves information mobility among its employees, consultants, and stakeholders. Geospatially Coordinated, Intelligent 3D Assets The airport design team deployed Bentley Map as a GIS platform to map the ever-changing airport facilities’ assets and capture data intelligence to provide the foundation for Sydney’s Airport Infrastructure Facilities Management System (AIFMS). Using the array of technologically-advanced GIS and topology capabilities powered by Bentley’s mapping software allowed the team to model the facilities as intelligent, real-word 3D representations and assign attributes to uniquely identify and locate every asset. Each of the 15,000 doors, tenancies, and assets within terminals, car parks, and ancillary buildings were identified by a unique number. Working in a collaborative, federated environment and using a map-based interface with project, document, and workflow management applications helped define a consistent approach to classifying and defining the information for all objects. This ensured the AIFMS not only met the different departments’ requirements, but that it was consistent with the naming conventions across the project, so information would be easily stored and retrieved. Bentley MAP - Thematic mapping and data extraction The table is generated using the ‘data browser’ within Bentley MAP and then exporting to excel for further formatting criteria such as area, tenancy names etc. can be extracted into the table. AIFMS provides a secure environment with no data redundancy, increasing efficiencies in operations and maintenance for both stakeholders and the design office. For example, with more than 8,500 doors in the international terminal alone, it was essential not only for airport staff to know which doors they could enter, but also for security purposes, to be able to identify and locate these doors quickly and efficiently. By mapping all the airport doors with attached criteria on the GIS platform on an ongoing basis, the organization can now use the Web to find any door—by door number or door type—with confidence that the information is accurate and up to date. ProjectWise Delivers a Single Source of Truth The entire AIFMS is based on a combination of server applications (ProjectWise, Bentley Geo Web Publisher, SQL Server), desktop applications (MicroStation, Bentley Descartes, Bentley Map, Pointools), Web applications (ProjectWise Web Explorer, Bentley Geo Web Map Viewer), and mobility applications (Bentley Map Mobile, Navigator, and ProjectWise WorkS
