Project Overview
The Estates Team at the Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL) has numerous infrastructure and improvement projects underway. Although the university already has a large volume of asset data – as-built drawings, floor plans, and tree and garden information – each has varying levels of quality, positional accuracy, and age.
To update their existing conditions, RHUL hired LandScope Engineering to undertake an integrated PAS 128:2014 utility mapping and topographical survey of the entire campus and provide a single view of all the campus assets, both aboveground and belowground. They realized that the best way to house and share this information was by creating a digital twin.
Challenge
LandScope Engineering needed to find a solution that could incorporate their multidiscipline survey data sets, including traditional survey strings, point cloud and metadata, in addition to campus legacy data. With such a large volume of data, however, it was increasingly difficult to display it in traditional survey packages.
LandScope Engineering was unable to display their more sophisticated data sets into RHUL’s geospatial information system (GIS). Additionally, the university’s legacy data was stored separately across different departments making it very difficult to access and share. For example, locating chambers on a drawing and locating the metadata for maintenance holes took approximately one hour per 50 maintenance holes. When a client wanted to view the utility mapping drawing and the associated maintenance hole metadata, they had to search through numerous folders and cross-reference each to find the relevant information. With over 1,600 maintenance holes across the campus, this process took significant time and was quite costly, making it highly inefficient.
Breakthrough
Given the scale of the campus, LandScope Engineering made it their goal to incorporate mobile survey solutions. They began by capturing 360-degree site-wide images by deploying a Topcon IP-S3 mobile mapping system and unmanned aerial vehicle for high resolution photography. They also utilized mobile ground penetrating radar to simultaneously capture data below the ground. This data was matched to the mobile mapping data for full coverage from the ground level, as well as from above to capture a complete building data set.
After researching for solutions that could display a large amount of multidiscipline data in one place as a digital twin, LandScope Engineering chose Orbit 3DM to create a single view of the data. The Orbit 3DM plugin capabilities meant that both GIS data sets could run seamlessly alongside each other without creating duplicate systems. The application allowed all users to perform quick search queries, which was a near-impossible task prior to implementing the software. As a result, field teams could record inspection chamber metadata – including invert levels, pipe diameters, and photography – directly into the application on their tablets and mobile devices. Photographic records included traditional and 360-degree chamber images. The application allows the maintenance hole data and images to be viewed with either GIS or augmented reality.
“Orbit GT provides a central database for asset information based on its geographical location. All survey formats (point cloud, photography, line work, and metadata) can be brought together and displayed in a single environment, rather than needing multiple specialist packages. This ensures data is easy to locate and asset data can be simply accessed by clicking on the item of interest,” said Mark White, geoscience manager at LandScope Engineering. “Furthermore, Orbit server and cloud-based solutions allow all stakeholders to have simple, easy access to asset information without needing to install specialist software.”
Outcome
Now, each university department is responsible for continually updating the system. LandScope Engineering can survey any new asset or infrastructure as a standard to ensure that the database is always current.
This digital twin provided a single view of aboveground and belowground assets, improving stakeholder collaboration and reducing duplication of work and operational costs. The 3D models of proposed infrastructure projects are incorporated into this digital environment. Now, stakeholders can visualize future developments in context of the existing campus. Furthermore, students can experience campus life through virtual campus tours rather than physically visiting the site.

Project Overview
With the 2022 Winter Olympics scheduled for the congested city of Beijing, the owner of the Xuanhua Iron and Steel Plant took the opportunity to modernize the factory and relocate it to Tangshan on the coast. Moving the facility will substantially reduce pollution and carbon emissions, allowing attendees to enjoy the Games in a cleaner and safer environment. MCC Capital Engineering & Research Incorporation was hired as general engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for this large and extremely complex CNY 40 billion project. The design involved more than a dozen disciplines, including equipment, heating power, gas, ventilation, electrical engineering, and instrumentation. They were distributed across several project sites and MCC CERI’s headquarters, making collaboration difficult.
Challenge
The project posed significant technical, engineering, and coordination challenges, compounded by significant site constraints and the need to complete it before the start of the Olympic Games, which imposed a very tight timeframe on them. They also had to keep errors, omissions, and collisions in the design stage to a minimum, which proved difficult given the size of the project team. To meet the aggressive schedule MCC CERI had to build a digital twin of the factory (a digital factory) that would synchronize the design, construction, delivery and operation of the physical factory. To successfully complete this project, they needed to coordinate more than a dozen different engineering disciplines, spread across 70 sub-projects.
Breakthrough
A long-time user of Bentley applications, MCC CERI chose to adopt a collaborative BIM methodology in a connected data environment. ProjectWise provided a collaborative design platform to coordinate all disciplines and manage the project design process and design deliverables. The multidiscipline engineering team is using AutoPIPE, Bentley Raceway and Cable Management, Bentley Substation, MicroStation, OpenBuildings Designer, OpenPlant, OpenRoads, ProSteel, and ProStructures to design the equipment, infrastructure, industrial pipelines, ventilation and dust removal, and electrical bridges, all of which are intricate and complicated. Using SYNCHRO for the first time, they conducted construction simulation for precise layout and installation within a limited space. Using digital photogrammetry with ContextCapture, they are tracking the as-built status in real time. MCC CERI developed an engineering data center based on AssetWise to bring together all the digital data, and enable 100% digital delivery integrating across engineering, construction, and operations. The digital twin of the factory includes all equipment and processes, collecting data from on-site controllers, equipment, operations, and other information, and uses the process equipment signals to drive simulations of production. In this way they achieve the real-time synchronization of the digital factory and the physical factory.
“With the 2022 Winter Olympic Games being held in Beijing, China, the Xuanhua Iron and Steel Plant, an old factory that has been in operation for 89 years and is not far away from the stadium, will be relocated to the Laoting Economic Development Zone in Tangshan City where an advanced, efficient, green, and intelligent modern factory will be built,” said He Zhang, project BIM manager with MCC CERI. “The total investment of this project is more than CNY 40 billion, and Bentley’s collaborative design solutions will allow us to build the digital plant and complete the project on time.”
Outcome
Using ProjectWise to collaborate across disciplines, MCC CERI was able to shorten the design cycle by 35 days. The digital factory approach is reducing their commissioning costs by 75%, and using the digital factory to simulate production is enabling production process improvements. For example, a “typical operational saving” of 60-70% reduction in energy consumption is expected to be achieved by optimizing the operations of the shot blasting machine. Lastly, by meeting the very tight project time frame, MCC CERI is ensuring that there will be clear water and blue skies at the venues of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

Project Overview
The Technology Renovation and Expansion Project for Furnace No.1, No.2, and No.3 of Shanghai Electric Environmental Protection Thermoelectric (Nantong) Co., Ltd., located in Nantong City, Jiangsu province, is the first waste-to-energy incineration project performed by Shanghai Electric. The project is an example of comprehensive utilization of waste-to-energy incineration, which allows the waste to be reduced, recycled, and made harmless to the environment. The renovation and expansion project has played a significant role in improving urban infrastructure construction, upgrading urban environments, and promoting sustainable economic development. The project has significant environmental and social benefits as well and will greatly improve the living environment of residents and stimulate local economic development and employment once the project is operational.
Challenge
Shanghai Electric needed to build three new, 750-tons-per-day waste incineration mechanical grate treatment lines to replace the original fluidized bed waste incineration ones. They needed to keep the existing plant running smoothly to avoid garbage siege, heating supply breakdown, and other livelihood issues that a plant production suspension might cause. Some of the challenges that they faced included dealing with so many interactions between the old and new plants to keep the existing operation going in the process of technology renovation and expansion. In addition, the project was newly built at the original production site, so the available space was very limited and made the size of the new single building smaller compared with the conventional design. This situation also made the process layout of equipment, pipelines, and other materials extremely compact. To meet these challenges, they needed a robust and innovative solution that would facilitate the difficult design requirements.
Shanghai Electric realized that they needed to adopt a BIM process with 3D digital design to create a digital twin that would help them increase design efficiency and reduce construction site rework that would otherwise delay the project and add unnecessary costs.
Breakthrough
After researching their options, Shanghai Electric chose to implement Bentley applications. They started with OpenPlant Modeler, which enabled them to solve over 600 clash problems in the design in advance and greatly reduce the design changes and construction rework, improve the quality of the project, and save CNY 2.4 million in installation materials and labor costs. At the same time, the 3D design greatly enhanced pipeline design depth, which does not appear in traditional 2D drawings. As a result, the introduction of BIM technology greatly improved productivity, and the installation period was shortened from the estimated five months to four months, with significant economic benefits brought about by the plant being put into operation one month earlier. Shanghai Electric also used OpenBuildings Designer to build a prefabricated component model library and a door and window component library, which they then used to design the building and develop manufacturing and construction plans. A rigorous component design allowed the team to perform detailed design analysis, refinement, and improvement.
Bentley’s Navigator enabled a mobile display of the 3D model, making it easier to view the equipment and pipeline properties, as well as improve communication with the design institute, the construction contractor, and the owner. LumenRT enabled Shanghai Electric to generate model programs, which provided the designer, construction contractor, and owner with an immersive review. They also found a way to view the 3D digital model anytime, anywhere, using Bentley’s iTwin Services and cloud technology. During the construction process, they avoided the traditional manual count and review of work quantities, and they used the model to view the equipment and pipeline schedules, which became an important basis for preparing the construction budget and completion settlement. Meanwhile, they carried out the lifecycle management of project assets through the model to improve the operational management efficiency of enterprises.
To effectively assist the design and optimization of the support hanger, Shanghai Electric used AutoPIPE to calculate pipeline stress and perform flange analysis and pipeline bracket design under dynamic and static load. In actual operations, AutoPIPE’s 3D thermal clash detection feature alerts engineers of thermal displacements in pipelines as they heat up to avoid costly plant shutdown.
Lastly, Bentley’s ProjectWise enabled design team collaboration with BIM workflows throughout the entire process. Using ProjectWise greatly improved visualization of the design to make the structure of the plant more compact and the pipeline layout design more reasonable and attractive.
Outcome
Using Bentley’s innovative and robust solutions empowered Shanghai Electric to apply a correct BIM-based process for a digital twin of the project. By shortening the design cycle from two months to 45 days, they saved the design institute 31% in labor costs, reduced construction errors by 90%, and greatly improved accuracy. Using a BIM approach with the applications helped improve their overall design quality and depth by 50% and delivered a high-quality project while increasing the competitiveness of the design institute. Additionally, 3D models allowed them to produce accurate material statistics, which led to costs savings to the owner of about CNY 2 million in pipeline material costs. The 3D BIM design process using Bentley software helped Shanghai Electric complete the project 31 days ahead of schedule, which reduced the noise impact on the neighboring enterprises or residents by at least 10 decibels and improved the living environment and quality for the surrounding residents and enterprises.
“We used Bentley software to manage the entire lifecycle of this project,” said Shigang Feng, dean of the Environmental Engineering Design Institute. “Bentley software was used in the initial collaborative design, pipeline stress analysis, prefabricated component library building, model building and assembly, pipeline collision detection, immersive review, and delivery of digital twin models. Using BIM technology based on Bentley software saved CNY 2 million in engineering costs for the project, and the project was operated one month in advance.”

Project Overview
The Milan Innovation District (MIND) is an urban regeneration project on the site that hosted festivities for the Universal Exhibition Expo 2015 in Milan, Italy. As part of the plan for this campus area, developers are building an urban center within the city that is focused on both redefining mobility within this innovative campus and beyond, using traditional gas-powered vehicles and mass transit to minimize traffic congestion and try to decrease carbon emissions. MIND is planned to act as an international test-bed for pioneering mobility technologies and solutions, including multimodal models that are capable of replicating and assessing the walkability of an area and the attractiveness of all movement in and around the campus.
Systematica was tasked with planning and designing this integrated multimodal transport model in support of the district’s master planning and architectural design. They were tasked with assessing mobility for what would be considered a new city of around 60,000 inhabitants, located in the city of Milan that is 1,575 square kilometers and already has 3.2 million inhabitants. The MIND mobility plan gravitated around the principles of walkable, user-centric development and is shaped by an effective Mobility as a Service (MaaS) model. This model includes the provision of e-mobility and self-driving solutions, demand-responsive systems, intelligent-cognitive infrastructure, and future proofing-adaptive transport assets. However, Systematica needed to focus on the user experience, deliver a pedestrian-oriented public realm, provide intermodal connection, and seamlessly connect to mass transit, including organizing transport around micro-hubs.
Challenge
Systematica realized that converting the former visitor-oriented space into a permanent community-based district would require exploring and testing new ways of thinking about movement in cities across many mobility options, as well as the integration of these different mobility types. Meeting these goals would be difficult with traditional methods. First, Systematica needed to create a modeling layer that was at metropolitan scale—a GIS-based simulation platform that encompassed the entire metropolitan area of Milan. Second, they needed to create a modeling layer that could replicate and test the expected mobility patterns within the innovative MIND campus.
Therefore, they made it their goal to implement the latest mobility simulation technology to overcome these challenges. Their simulation needed to consider both the effectiveness and attractiveness of the different forms of mobility. The model also had to consider a reliable assignment of people movements throughout the dense and permeable pedestrian network of the district and make it seamless to access all the different forms of mobility within the car-free district.
Breakthrough
After searching for the right solution, Systematica selected Bentley’s CUBE to evaluate the accessibility patterns and impact of the induced mobility demand on all available transport services and infrastructure, as well as model and simulate expected mobility patterns for both transport and pedestrian movement throughout the campus.
Using the anticipated number of 60,000 residents, Systematica’s simulation was specifically updated to evaluate macro-level accessibility patterns and assess the impact of the induced mobility demand, which is defined as more than 150,000 all-modes trips per day on all available transport services and transport infrastructure. The simulation included strategic toll-road corridors and complex interchanges, any type of railway connections ranging from high-speed rail to suburban services, subway lines, and a dense local bus network. Additionally, Systematica included an analysis of the innovation campus with their tailored multimodal model, which was capable of replicating and assessing the walkability potential within the campus, as well as the ease-of-use of all innovative mobility services and last-mile transport solutions. These solutions included e-bus services, an autonomous shuttle connection, and micro-mobility solutions.
Systematica also considered driverless mobility. Using CUBE, they proposed a highly efficient group rapid transit (GRT) system operated by autonomous shuttles to connect the main transit hub of Milano Rho Fiera, West Gate with MIND, East Gate. This GRT system is expected to provide effective and convenient last-mile connections, as well as facilitate an internal transport system within the MIND Park district. Over time, this system will have the potential to evolve into point-to-point on-demand mobility service operated by robotaxi.
They also analyzed electric mobility, which included recharging for public and private car parking and facilities for external e-bus services. Electric mobility, represents the overall mobility concept of MIND, including internal public transport services, on-demand services, micro-mobility solutions, and last-mile logistic systems. Moreover, Systematica’s zero-emission mobility model reinforces the gradual shift of traditional public transport services to electric solutions.
“The suite of transport simulation codes that CUBE provided advanced [our capability] to model complex mobility as a service (MaaS) paradigms based on walkability—a crucial dimension to ensure the actual sustainability of any urban development. Modeling the MaaS paradigms was also based on the public’s response to current and future mobility patterns, which allows us to deliver a high-quality built environment, now and in the future,” said Diego Deponte, partner and managing director, Systematica.
Outcome
This integrated, multimodal transport model of the campus supported the master planning and architectural designs and is anticipated to speed adoption for the master plan. Already, by using CUBE to validate the effectiveness and sustainability of MIND mobility strategies, Systematica accelerated the master plan approval by six months. Additionally, their model has resulted in creating an effective dialogue with technology providers and mobility operators to explore and identify the most suitable solutions.
Leveraging the flexibility of CUBE helped Systematica model a more integrated and sustainable mobility solution—one that works within the campus and beyond, creating a benchmark for planning and designing future urban developments.

On 16 October 2020, Rodrigo da Costa took up his duties as Executive Director of the European GNSS Agency (GSA), soon to become the EU Space Programme Agency. He was elected by the GSA Administrative Board on 15 September 2020 and met with the ITRE Committee of the European Parliament on 12 October 2020.
Mr da Costa, a Portuguese national who has worked in a number of EU countries, joined the GSA as the Galileo Services Programme Manager in March 2017. In this position he was responsible for leading Galileo, the European Union global navigation satellite system, in its service provision phase. He has previously held several senior project management, business development, and institutional account management positions in space industry, in the areas of human space flight, exploration, launchers and R&D.
Mr da Costa will now be working on transforming the GSA into the EU Space Programme Agency (EUSPA). He will ensure that its existing activities continue to be successfully delivered whilst also performing new ones required to undertake with the Agency’s new mandate.
Since its creation in 2004 the GSA has made an unparallel contribution to the EU flagship satellite systems Galileo and EGNOS, which has significantly contributed to Union’s independence and economic growth. Staffed with highly skilled and dedicated personnel, the agency has boosted innovation, fostered entrepreneurship, led the provision of services, and stimulated the EU economy, in particular through ensuring Galileo and EGNOS uptake across a wide range of market segments thanks to high-quality and secure satellite services. With eyes fixed on the future, EUSPA will further build on the work of the GSA, and will take on additional new responsibilities for further components to the EU Space Programme, including activities in Copernicus (the European Earth observation programme), GOVSATCOM (the EU secure satellite communication system).
Commenting on his new duties da Costa said: ‘’Becoming Executive Director of the Agency means, above all, to lead a team of excellent, dedicated professionals. I’m immensely excited by the opportunity we have to build a successful EUSPA, a key contributor of the EU Space Programme. I’m looking forward to working with all our stakeholders. The task is vast, but I am confident we will be able to play our part, demonstrating to EU citizens what we can do together in EU space activities as GSA/EUSPA.’’

Galileo OS and SAR Service Performance Reports for the second quarter of 2020 (covering April, May and June) have just been published on the European GNSS Service Centre (GSC) web portal.
The Galileo Open Service (OS) and Search and Rescue (SAR) quarterly performance reports provide the latest information on the Galileo OS and SAR/Galileo measured performance statistics with respect to their Minimum Performance Levels (MPLs) (as declared in its respective Galileo Service Definition Documents: OS-SDD and SAR-SDD).
Quarterly reports provide information to users on several parameters including:
• For Galileo OS: Ranging Performance, Galileo to GPS Time Offset (GGTO) determination performance, Galileo Positioning Performance, and the Timely Publication of NAGUs.
• For SAR/Galileo Enhanced Services: Availability of Forward Link Service (FLS) and Return Link Service (RLS), performance of location probability and accuracy, and RLS service latency.
Learn More: How is Galileo Performance Assessed?
As in previous periods, Galileo measured OS and SAR Service performance figures comfortably exceed their MPL thresholds, specified in the OS-SDD and SAR-SDD (except for the SAR transponder availability for GSAT-0103 during April, May and June).
Among the main highlights of the Q2-2020 performance reports:
Open Service:
Enhanced SAR/Galileo Service:
For the most up-to-date information on the Galileo system and constellation, visit the GSC website, in particular, the Galileo constellation status section. For an exhaustive description of the MPLs, refer to the SDDs (Programme Reference documents).
