Maryland State Highway Administration Uses AssetWise to Create Infrastructure Insight Portal, Improving Decision-making and Preserving Transportation Infrastructure Assets

• Maryland State Highway Administration (MDSHA) is responsible for over 17,178 lane miles of roads and ramps and more than 2,500 state-maintained bridges 
• MDSHA maintains the state’s numbered, non-tolled roads and continues to deliver transportation projects and solutions to improve Maryland’s roads and bridges 
• AssetWise will help MDSHA increase the accuracy of information and reduce labor hours and maintenance costs for infrastructure assets 
• With improved data, the solution is anticipated to reduce wear and tear on roads, bridges, and pavement, as well as enhance infrastructure preservation  

Project Overview 

Maryland State Highway Administration (MDSHA) is responsible for more than 17,178 lane miles of roads and ramps and more than 2,500 state-maintained bridges, delivering transportation projects and solutions to improve Maryland’s roads and bridges. MDSHA already tracked information about road and bridge structural assets to make operational decisions for permitting oversized and overweight loads. To enhance these existing capabilities, MDSHA had the vision to develop a portal to centralize relevant infrastructure performance, construction data, and bridge strike events. The goal is to empower decision support for maintenance, inspection, finance, pavement, bridge ratings, clearance, and construction information. The portal would need to provide connectivity to multiple asset management products, enabling bridge and pavement engineers and other disciplines, to quickly and securely gain access to all structural information and bridge data from federated data sources in one portal.   

Challenge 

To increase capabilities provided by the existing Maryland One system, MDSHA needed to bring together multiple data sources from maintenance, inspection, pavement, bridge ratings, clearance information, construction, and more, which could be accessed and shared with stakeholders and allied partners. The information required to improve decision support and increase productivity existed within multiple unconnected databases, necessitating manual effort to turn data into information. The lack of a centralized interface to analyze the disparate information made it challenging and time consuming. MDSHA needed to have this information in one central secure location for easy access thereby reducing the time required to improve daily operational decisions.  

Breakthrough 

MDSHA recognized they could build a solution with Bentley’s AssetWise software to create the Violation Tracking and Infrastructure Insight Portal. The solution includes Bentley’s Asset Reliability Inspections, SUPERLOAD, and LARS Bridge. The new portal allows them to quickly and effectively analyze and report across previously unmapped dimensions and relationships between Permitting Operations and Infrastructure Performance. SUPERLOAD Bridge Analysis performs bridge analysis for the specific permit vehicle configuration over each specific structure, while SUPERLOAD Route Data Miner helps improve the management of route data.  

This solution will aggregate data like asset inspections, maintenance records, safety performance, permitting operations and hauler enforcement tracking, as well as enhance agency coordination and improve operational efficiency. Having up-to-date infrastructure performance and analysis data, alongside permit data and hauler operator violation data, and bridge maintenance and pavement performance data will quickly unlock new dimensions of analysis. Being able to track, analyze, and identify the potential relationship between hauler behavior and infrastructure performance can mitigate risk and enhance infrastructure preservation.   

“Violation Tracking and Infrastructure Insight Portal will help MDSHA increase the timeliness of information, saving time and money and reducing processing time,” said Tina Sanders, technical support manager at MDSHA. “Having federated data accessible in one portal presented in maps and reports provides insights into traffic volumes, maintenance information, bridge performance, accident patterns, permit violation data, and construction data. It will empower the stakeholders to improve decisions with broader information, while also increasing communication within MDSHA, with our jurisdictional partners and our allied agencies in other states. We anticipate this portal will help us quickly respond to requests from agency stakeholders and ultimately reduce risk and enhance the safety of the traveling public.” 

Outcome 

The portal will securely provide MDSHA infrastructure stakeholders with federated information derived from historically disconnected systems. Users of the portal will have access to new information to improve all manner of decision support. This includes assistance in determining the optimal routes for oversized and overweight loads through the State of Maryland, City of Baltimore, and into border states. Having this information in one location will save time and money for MDSHA and their allied partners, as well as improve decision-making. The portal will also provide access to departments that previously had not been able to access the data. 

Through this solution, MDSHA anticipates increasing operational efficiency by reducing permit processing time for the state and allied agencies, thereby saving the customers time and money. In addition, MDSHA anticipates optimizing permitting operations, increasing voluntary hauler compliance, law enforcement coordination, and timely access to key information with a goal of enhancing infrastructure preservation. The solution will enable more targeted and proactive enforcement based on violation patterns.

Sterlite Power’s Renewable Energy Innovation Using a Collaborative Design Workflow Helps Deliver Reliable Power to over 30 Million Residents in Northeast India

• The project removes infrastructure bottlenecks to improve economic development and deliver reliable power to the remotest regions of northeast India  
• Sterlite Power overcame inefficiencies of conventional design and construction modeling methodologies with 3D and 4D BIM technology to enhance visualization, collaboration, and efficiency 
• Project timeline acceleration had a positive impact on the ROI and enabled faster delivery of reliable power to over 30 million people 
• Sterlite Power saved nearly INR 2.3 million and over a month on the project schedule by improving workflows through a connected data environment  

Project Overview 

India is strongly commitment to its renewable energy targets, which are aimed at quickly reducing carbon emissions. The North Eastern Regional (NER) Grid of India, serving a population of more than 30 million, wants to improve reliability of power evacuation, reduce intermittency, and accelerate sustainability of renewables for this region. The Ministry of Power in India awarded Sterlite Power, a leading global developer of power transmission infrastructure projects in India, the NER-II Transmission Limited project to develop transmission lines across the region. Sterlite Power is an established technology leader in this sector and a sponsor of India’s first power sector Infrastructure Investment Trust. 

The project is of strategic importance to India’s renewable energy targets. It strengthens interconnection with the states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh and provides an additional source of power to the capital city of Itanagar. However, the project was complex, including designing and constructing a 400-kilovolt/132-kilovolt substation in Tripura state to evacuate gas-generated power from ONGC’s Palatana power plant (a 726.3-megawatt combined-cycle gas turbine). The substation was the only one delivering much-needed power to Tripura state. Considering the importance of this substation for the local region, efficient design and construction of a new substation within a tight schedule were necessary for rigorous project monitoring and real-time construction updates. Seamless and accurate information flow among stakeholders was crucial to ensure timely delivery of the substation. 

Challenge 

Sterlite Power realized that they needed a modeling solution that would deliver right-first-time design by detecting and resolving clashes early in the design process. However, traditional 2D design methods for substation planning limited the design team’s ability to detect clearance problems between electrical components and support structures. Additional challenges included managing interdependency among activities, design-plan inter-linkage, a lack of real-time progress data, and inefficient resource planning. These inefficiencies posed enormous risks in the substation construction timeline adding prolonged inspections, handovers, and resource training difficulties. Therefore, 3D modeling proved to be the best method. 

Breakthrough 

Sterlite Power overcame inefficiencies that conventional design methodologies posed by turning to Bentley’s OpenUtilities Substation for 3D modeling and ProjectWise to streamline design and collaboration. This technology change enabled them to detect clearance violations between electrical components and structural supports. The digital libraries provided traceability, accountability, and exportability of models for proper equipment connections.  

Adopting BIM 4D technology using SYNCHRO also helped Sterlite Power utilize virtual reality to further optimize and refine design and planning. They generated a detailed reality model from images captured with unmanned aerial vehicles, which helped them further optimize substation layout and increase design and planning efficiency. 

“With Bentley’s ProjectWise, our project team was able to work in complete collaboration, even when separated by distance,” said Pratik Agarwal, managing director, Sterlite Power. “Design being the heart of infrastructure projects, the application’s real-time review system helped us save huge hours of reworking on design errors and enabled us to accelerate the renewable energy journey of India.” 

Outcome 

Using OpenUtilities Substation, Sterlite Power was able to check for electrical clearance issues and detect problems early in the design process, which helped them reduce rework. They saved nearly INR 2.3 million and over a month on the project schedule. The cost and time savings can be attributed to a reduction in design closure time through enhanced collaboration and a digitalized workflow using a connected data environment.

NYS DOT Delivers First Model-based Contracting 3D Project in Its History; Delivered the Project Under Budget and Restored a Critical Bridge to the Community

• NYS Route 28 connects Ulster County and Delaware County, New York to the regional highway network and is part of an emergency lifeline corridor during significant flooding events 
• The NYS Route 28 Bridge over the Esopus Creek frequently floods during heavy rains due to an inadequate hydraulic opening in the structure 
• New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) needed to design a new bridge that will last at least 75 years and remain open during large storms, while minimizing maintenance and repair costs 

Project Overview 

NYS Route 28 connects Ulster County and Delaware County, New York to the regional highway network and is part of an emergency lifeline corridor during significant flooding events in Ulster County. The NYS Route 28 Bridge over the Esopus Creek frequently floods during significant rains due to an inadequate hydraulic opening in the structure. The topography of the area allowed for the water to escape the stream bank channel and wash out both the southern and northern approach. New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) needed to design a new bridge that will last at least 75 years and remain open during large storms, including 100 year floods, while minimizing maintenance and repair costs. 

Challenge 

NYSDOT wanted to deliver this project primarily as a 3D deliverable as New York State’s first “Model-based Contract” but did not have previous experience delivering a 3D project. They sought input from other states but found that only a handful of states had attempted a 3D plan set in horizontal construction. They also needed to address the challenge of deciding the most cost-effective and least disruptive design alternative to replace the bridge, including on the same alignment, upstream, and downstream. 

Breakthrough 

Prior to this project, NYSDOT had only successfully designed one other project using Bentley’s OpenRoads. However, based on this previous project, they knew that the best way to successfully deliver this one was with the OpenRoads suite of software. 

Using OpenRoads Designer and OpenBridge Modeler, they were able to model and compare the three alternatives. Using the application showed that based on costs and impact to the community, the downstream option would be the best.  

The proposed bridge was 800 feet long and almost 10 feet higher in elevation than the existing 330-foot structure. There was a super elevation transition on the bridge and the girders were variable depths across the bridge. They were able to successfully model the complicated structure using OpenBridge Modeler, including to model the parabolic tapers on the bridge girders and the complicated diaphragms.  

A major flood control berm limited flow during high flow events and needed to be removed as part of this project. NYSDOT quickly put together a model and 3D solid that showed the nearly 30,000 cubic yards of embankment that needed to be removed. The ability to create 3D solids of the cut-and-fill shapes aided in design intent and quantity calculation. 

They also used iModels and delivered a 3D model that couldn’t be modified by users, which gave them much needed reassurance in their first effort stamping a 3D model. Utilizing iTwin Design Review allowed for digital review that, compared with traditional print and scan methodology, allowed contractors to access data from the 3D model on their tablet and easily get elevations. 

“The NYS RT 28 over the Esopus Creek Model-based Contracting project is the perfect example of what is possible when engineers face an extraordinary problem but have a collaborative partner like Bentley by their side to help them to succeed,” said Zack Maybury, NYSDOT’s P.E. design squad leader. 

Outcome 

Using the 3D model in construction has reduced quantity discrepancies between the contractor and the engineer in charge (EIC) about calculation for materials, such as asphalt or cut-and-fill quantities. Now that they have 3D solids of the cut-and-fill volumes in the project, there have been no discrepancies. By providing these features in a solid format, it eliminates the possibility of misinterpretation of quantities.  

NYSDOT delivered a 3D model that will be updated to reflect any design revisions, as well as the as-built environment. This living document and model will continue forward to function as a key feature for asset management and bridge inspection. The use of this model for asset management will enable the project to fully make use of a 3D model in design, construction, and inspection. 

NYSDOT modeled and evaluated three distinct bridge alternatives to determine an economical design with minimal public impact during construction. NYSDOT was cautious that this method of project delivery might cost more to administer until contractors were more familiar with it. However, they were ecstatic when bids came in actually lower than the engineer’s estimate. They successfully created an iModel of the proposed bridge, advancing this solution for future use by the department. This project advanced the use of Model-based Contracting as a realistic project delivery method for not only NYSDOT, but other DOTs and agencies as well.

Sweco Implements a Connected, Digitalized Approach across Their Global Projects, Saving 10% in Efficiency on Project Programs

• Sweco is one of Europe’s leading architecture and engineering consultancies, carrying out multidiscipline projects in 70 countries annually throughout the world 
• They aimed to implement a roadmap for driving consistent standards and workflows and leveraging project insights for data-driven and proactive project management 
• Sweco saw significant gains in productivity, while mitigating risk, improving overall quality of project delivery 
• Their connected, digitalized approach, supported by digital twins, has enabled them to consistently drive better outcomes across their global projects 

Project Overview 

Sweco, one of Europe’s leading architecture and engineering consultancies, carries out multidiscipline projects in 70 countries annually throughout the world. In their pursuit of shaping tomorrow’s sustainable cities and societies, they believe that infrastructure is an essential part of this revolution and will be the foundation for the coming years. To achieve these advancements in infrastructure, they made it their goal to implement a connected, digitalized approach across their global projects. They aimed to implement a roadmap to enforce consistent standards and workflows, shift to data-driven management processes, and drive proactive project management using real-time, automated insights. 

Challenge 

Without embracing a connected, digitalized approach to project information management, collaboration, and decision-making Sweco knew that they would be limited in delivering consistent, high-quality project outcomes. 

For example, Sweco recognized that traditional data management methods were often time-consuming, labor intensive, and error prone. Project data under these methods was unstructured and tedious to manage because the data was housed in several locations—including servers, local hard drives, and ad hoc file-sharing—resulting in dispersed and duplicated information across several locations. As their globally distributed, multidiscipline teams worked with large volumes of data from multiple sources and in a variety of formats, they needed a solution that would encourage collaboration rather than reduce the effectiveness of their teams working together.  

Sweco also knew that they had to push the boundaries of how their global projects and teams were connected to information and to one another. Not only did they need to reliably and quickly work with up-to-date project information across disciplines and worksites, they also needed to standardize and effectively manage their information in a centralized, up-to-date data model. The centralized data model would help them gain efficiencies and mitigate risk by ensuring their projects adhered to BIM standards and best-practice workflows. They could also give their project managers access to automated project insights to identify and circumvent potential bottlenecks and issues ahead of time.   

Sweco knew that it was a challenge to implement this connected, digitalized approach across their projects globally, but without it, they risked letting these limitations hold them back from being an industry leader in advancing infrastructure.  

Breakthrough 

Sweco realized that a connected approach would provide immediate benefits. Multidiscipline teams could collaborate faster and easier, as well as leverage industry-proven BIM workflows in a live, common data environment. They would be able to integrate multiple sources of data to create intelligent digital twin models to connect data and apply information to actionable project insights.    

As Sweco explored potential solutions, they recognized that ProjectWise could help them successfully enable their connected approach across their global projects. ProjectWise enabled them to create a digital twin, which served as a single source of information for any given project and enabled them to collect, manage, and disseminate all relevant project documents for multidiscipline teams in managed processes. ProjectWise empowered them to leverage the insights from this data as well via automated dashboards. 

“Embracing Bentley’s managed service with our ISO 19650 data model is allowing us to fast-track our aspiration to deliver digital twin solutions for our partners and clients,” said Rupinder Wilkhu, head of digital delivery and BIM at Sweco, UK.  

Since deploying ProjectWise in October 2019, Sweco has used it as the single source of information for 16 major projects across 14 organizations globally. In particular, Sweco UK is delivering 10 projects within their data model, with an estimated cost of over GBP 750 million from 16 offices and with over 300 project members, allowing clients, designers, contractors, and stakeholders across England to work together in one large collaborative team. 

Outcome 

Sweco was able to successfully deploy ISO 19650-compliant ProjectWise data models within four weeks from the data source made available by Bentley – a process that has previously required in-house customization and taken up to six months. 

By embracing a live decision-making process to digitally approve design deliverables, Sweco has seen 10% efficiency savings on project programs. Improved information management has enabled them to leverage clash avoidance processes to gain up to 30% more efficiency in interdisciplinary review processes, as well as ensure all project information created and managed within folders aligned with the client’s asset-data requirements, to gain further efficiencies and success meeting client expectations by ensuring a seamless digital handover at each completion stage. 

Additionally, the ability to access near real-time, automated project insights has allowed them to predict early warning signs and mitigate potential issues to the project delivery. Without needing to manually extract and analyze performance data, Sweco project leaders were able to make more proactive decisions, which was critical in delivering projects faster and with less risk. 

Through these changes, Sweco has seen significant gains in overall productivity, enabling their teams to deliver projects faster and meet deadlines easier. They have also seen significant reductions in risk, mitigating design errors, rework, and schedule risks across their projects. These benefits have translated to cost savings as well, in addition to improved quality of project delivery. 

Sweco is currently supporting more than 3,500 internal users and 500 external users across 400 projects globally, embracing a cultural change that is allowing them to optimize project outcomes across their enterprise.

Digital Applications Help Design Team Improve Management Efficiency by 15% and Collaboration by 45% on the Renovation and Expansion of the Beijing-Harbin Expressway

• The Beijing-Harbin Expressway is instrumental in promoting the construction of the China-Russia free trade zone, and is helping to develop and revitalize northeast China 
• The design team needed an innovative approach to coordinate all design and construction elements during a tight project schedule, all while keeping traffic moving during construction 
• By using OpenRoads and OpenBridge, they improved design efficiency by 20%, and SYNCHRO 4D helped boost management efficiency and improve collaboration 
• SYNCHRO helped them achieve real-time sharing of management data to save more than CNY 10 million in material waste and more than CNY 5 million in labor and machine costs  

Project Overview 

The renovation and expansion project of the Beijing-Harbin Expressway section is a key development in connecting and facilitating transportation between provinces. It helps promote the construction of the China-Russia free trade zone, provides guaranteed access for the Longjiang Luhai Silk Road Economic Belt, implements the development plan of the Harbin-Changchun Megalopolis, and promotes the development and revitalization of northeast China.  

The Office of the Renovation and Expansion Project of the Beijing-Harbin Expressway Section from Lalin River to Harbin, Heilongjiang Construction Technological Innovation & Investment Co., Ltd. was tasked with helping complete this crucial project, which will promote the State Council’s 13th five-year plan for developing a modern comprehensive transportation system. However, the project was particularly complex, as it spans across a total of 71 kilometers, and needed to be designed to support cars traveling at speeds of 120 kilometers per hour. Constructing an expressway at this length is challenging due to its high difficulty of implementation, complex technical requirements, and the impediments to maintaining a stable construction schedule due to the region’s harsh climate. Moreover, the highway had to maintain operations while it was expanded to eight lanes in one of the busiest roadways in Heilongjiang. 

Challenge 

To overcome these considerable challenges, the office realized that they needed to implement the right 4D digital technology to ensure successful project completion.  

They began looking for a solution that would help them maintain traffic flow on the expressway and carry it out in the absence of a complete set of successful technical experiences related to the design, construction, and management of the highway renovation and expansion project in the high latitude seasonal freezing area in China. The project also had to fully implement the concept of a green highway. 

Breakthrough 

After searching through a number of software options, they decided that Bentley’s digital applications would be the best solution to comprehensively solve construction modeling problems, establish a scientific and reasonable construction schedule, and analyze all material requirements in their actual placement in the construction process.  

SYNCHRO 4D construction and design modeling helped the office simulate the site layout, construction equipment position and hoisting, and the walking route. SYNCHRO allowed them to achieve visualization of on-site scheduling and safety planning, analyze potential construction difficulties, and formulate the design and construction plan in a scientific, reasonable manner. 

They also leveraged SYNCHRO to analyze the material requirements and actual placement in the construction process. Additionally, the application helped them reduce the waste of rating each machine from each team caused by the secondary material reshipment. SYNCHRO also helped them simultaneously generate planned cost and resource analysis reports based on the actual use of materials, as well as visually display the project status, improve communication efficiency, and reduce management costs. 

“SYNCHRO’s innovative capabilities promote data-driven project management and help enterprises accumulate and analyze standard data, achieving the goal of project digital management,” said Yang Ye, general manager of the BIM technology division, Office of the Renovation and Expansion Project of the Beijing-Harbin Expressway Section from Lalin River (Boundary between Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province) to Harbin, Heilongjiang Construction Technological Innovation & Investment Co., Ltd. 

Outcome 

Overall, implementing Bentley’s 4D digital solutions helped the team comprehensively analyze the construction work surfaces, material production transportation capacities, and the rationality of the construction scheme, allowing them to carry out the project in an effective and timely manner. Bentley’s SYNCHRO gave the office the necessary applications to optimize their construction period and improve the overall management and control of their project schedule. 

The applications helped the team improve their design efficiency by 20% and, with the use of SYNCHRO 4D, boost management efficiency by 15% and improve collaboration by 45%. With SYNCHRO’s real-time sharing of management data, they were able to save more than CNY 10 million in material waste and more than CNY 5 million in labor and machine costs.

PT. WASKITA Karya Revitalizes Jakarta’s Manggarai Station Using 4D Construction Modeling, Transforming Delivery of Future Projects in Indonesia

• Jakarta metropolitan area is expected to become the world’s largest city by 2030 
• Jakarta’s Manggarai Station will replace Gambir Station as the terminus for long-distance trains serving the city in late 2021 
• PT. WASKITA Karya (Persero) Tbk, in a joint venture with PT. Pijar Utama, was appointed as a contractor for phase II of the railway facility for Manggarai to Jatinegara 
• PT. WASKITA Karya (Persero) Tbk’s success was predicated on the three main objectives of quality compliance, cost, and time efficiency, demanding both timely and accurate decision-making 

Project Overview 

The Jakarta metropolitan area, known locally as Jabodetabek, is expected to become the world’s largest city by 2030. As it is home to 35.5 million people, it is already one of the most congested cities in the world. 

The city’s commuter rail system is under extreme pressure, causing Indonesia’s national rail operator Kereta Api to invest in improvements to increase capacity, provide greater reliability, and deliver a better experience for the over 1 million daily users across its network. 

The city’s Manggarai Station is currently a transit station on the Commuterline Jabodetabek and Soekarno–Hatta Airport Rail Link. Due to its future potential to cater for increased capacity, it will replace Gambir Station as the terminus for long-distance trains serving the city in late 2021. 

To achieve this goal, Indonesia’s Ministry of Transportation appointed PT. WASKITA Karya (Persero) Tbk (WASKITA), in a joint venture with PT. Pijar Utama, as a contractor on Phase II of the project.  

Challenge 

WASKITA made it their goal to construct a new bridge connecting the second floor of the station’s main building with the existing mainline at grade, together with new track panels above and below the bridge. However, they faced many challenges on the project. In addition to construction, their client required them to take on the design review of the existing contract drawings due to discrepancies with current standards and existing conditions. 

As a result of the high amount of train traffic in Manggarai Station, the team faced constraints on the method of construction that they could use, running the risk of incurring additional time on their contract. Any software that they implemented would need to help streamline their processes. 

WASKITA also needed to pay particular attention to the prestressed concrete beam bridge segment, which accounted for 30% of the contract’s value.  

The project’s success hinged on three main objectives: quality compliance, cost, and time efficiency. Therefore, WASKITA needed software that would help make every decision throughout the 720-calendar-day contract period was both timely and accurate. As a result, WASKITA decided to adopt BIM workflows and a digital twins approach using Bentley technology. 

Breakthrough 

Core to WASKITA successfully overcoming many of the engineering challenges faced on the Manggarai Station project was their creation of a multidiscipline BIM coordination model using Bentley technology.  

Using OpenRail Designer, OpenBridge Designer, and ContextCapture, they transformed their traditional 2D paper-based processes into 3D clash detection and resolution digital workflows, enabling engineers to measure true distances between designed structures and existing assets to ensure adequate clearance and right-first-time construction. 

Geometry control capabilities in OpenBridge Designer enabled them to calculate accurate geometry and coordinate information for each bridge segment, then export the data directly to the manufacturer. This practice helped mitigate against the significant risks associated with ordering segments of the wrong size or number. 

With significant constraints that included the need to keep lines on the existing railway operational throughout the construction schedule, and due to their ability to visualize and clearly communicate planned activities to other team members and stakeholders, WASKITA adopted SYNCHRO to perform 4D construction modeling on the Manggarai Station project. 

“Setting up a digital twin with Bentley’s technology is very convenient,” said Marsa Achadian Tyarpratama, BIM junior expert at WASKITA. “When the client urged us to give options concerning what outcome that they wanted to achieve in this project and how much it will cost, there was no better way to point those options out than visualizing it with the digital twin.” 

Outcome 

Combining design information for tracks, civils, bridges, and structures, with a 3D reality mesh of the existing ground, WASKITA’s BIM coordination model has helped the organization and different stakeholders on the project make better, more informed decisions. 

Having helped identify budget shortages within the design review, WASKITA’s coordination model allows them to clearly visualize different alternatives in terms of project scope and cost. It is proving to be a critical part of the organization’s ongoing work and negotiations with its client for project amendments. 

The use of OpenBridge Designer, OpenRail Designer, and ContextCapture for clash detection and resolution on the project has meant that WASKITA has avoided issues that might not have been discovered until construction commenced. As a result of identifying potential problems earlier in the process, WASKITA avoided additional time and cost overheads of approximately 0.3% per month. WASKITA’s use of geometry control functionality in OpenBridge Designer has helped mitigate the risks and avoid the unnecessary cost and delays associated with incorrectly cast bridge spans. 

In response to demands for more clarity on construction sequences, WASKITA’s use of SYNCHRO helped shorten the construction schedule by optimizing the resources available. Adoption of this digital workflow enabled right-first-time construction, as well as provided valuable insight for WASKITA and other stakeholders on the project.

Network Rail Wales and Western Region Overcomes Challenges under COVID-19 Lockdown to Emerge Stronger in Rail and Transit’s New Normal

• Network Rail owns, operates, and develops Britain’s railway infrastructure 
• Wales and Western Region is one of five regions supporting routes across the United Kingdom and bringing its people closer to the passengers and communities that it serves 
• Digital twins helped Network Rail Wales and Western Region (NR WWR) provide services under lockdown above and beyond the expectations of their clients and stakeholders 
• Digital workflows are helping Network Rail deliver high-quality results ahead of schedule, ensuring future work and attracting further investment 

Project Overview 

Network Rail’s Wales and Western Region (NR WW) is responsible for the railway network serving the communities and businesses of Wales, the Thames Valley, West of England, and the South West Peninsula of the United Kingdom. 

With 122.5 million passengers traveling through it each year, the region directly serves Europe’s busiest airport, London Heathrow, and transports commuters to key employment hubs, including London, Cardiff, Bristol, and Exeter, and services running to Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool. 

With responsibility for 2,700 miles of track, 5,841 bridges, 1,750 level crossings, and 4,500 signals, NR WW’s 5,000-plus employees must focus on putting the passenger first and needed software capable of supporting the business processes that allow them to provide a safe, reliable, and high-performing railway every day.  

Challenge 

NR WW wanted an innovative way to meet these goals, which became more important than ever when the COVID-19 pandemic turned the usual way of working on its head. Despite the UK government designating rail professionals as key workers, restrictions on the movement of personnel as a result of the national lockdown in the first half of 2020 demanded a different approach. NR WW needed innovative thinking, agile digital transformation, and strong teamwork to overcome the day-to-day challenges that they faced in the current new normal. 

Two projects where movement restrictions impacted the team’s traditional way of working were at Exeter and London’s Paddington stations. At Exeter, without the ability to engage in face-to-face meetings with the development team, zero familiarity with the location, and limited information from which to produce a viable result, NR WW’s team was required to model the station in 3D for the purposes of signal sighting. At Paddington Station, upcoming wayfinding renewals to improve signage visibility and commuter navigation required the cataloguing of over 100 elements of existing signage and an accurate layout of the station to develop and devise new signage. 

Breakthrough 

For Exeter, the process of collaboratively creating a model of the station began with the team gathering and referencing all the information that they had available, including LiDAR and point-cloud data, in MicroStation. Their digital workflow continued with the creation of a digital terrain model using scalable terrain functionality in Descartes, with further detail added by cross-checking results with point-cloud data to produce an accurate representation of the site. Over the course of three days, a comprehensive model of the station—including track, ballast, and sleepers, as well as signals generated using OpenRail Designer—was created.  

At Paddington, NR WW conducted extensive point-cloud scans of the station layout and all assets. Due to the sheer scale and density of the point-cloud data captured, Descartes was then used to cut, manipulate, and walk through point-clouds of varying densities, while slice thicknesses enabled the model to be generated with the right level of accuracy, in a fast and efficient manner. Without a digital workflow and Descartes, model creation would have taken significantly more time to complete, with a lower level of confidence in its accuracy. 

“Network Rail aims to be at the forefront of digital twin development,” said John Nolan, programme manager BIM at Network Rail. “Bentley technology has enabled Network Rail to capture the real-world state of a project and mirroring it in a virtual world, creating digital twins of Exeter and Paddington Stations, that in addition to addressing the requirements of the projects for which they were first conceived, provides a valuable digital record of assets that can be utilized for many other projects in the future, reducing the need for further site visits, inevitable delays, and unnecessary cost.” 

Outcome 

In the case of Exeter Station, the model that NR WW created within three days was both visually and technically accurate and would not have been possible without the variety and flexibility offered by Bentley technology. The results were not only of sufficient quality to signal site remotely, but it also enabled the team to perform digital site visits for design reviews, allowing further stakeholder engagement and more informed decisions without the need for anyone to leave the safety of their own homes. 

As a result of producing a digital twin of Paddington Station, NR WW ensured the future resource hours that were needed to perform tasks, such as surveys, site visits, and design work, were reduced. In turn, they saved significant costs and reduced risk. Specifically, their use of digital workflows within Descartes meant that the amount of time needed to manipulate point cloud data was cut by around a half, resulting in delivery of the model approximately a month ahead of schedule, and ensuring future work and further investment in the modeling team. 

The fast and efficient creation of these digital twins for signal sighting and way finding proved that even during a global pandemic and resultant lockdown, it was possible for them to provide services that go above and beyond the expectations of Network Rail’s clients and stakeholders.

Glencore’s Integrated Solution for Asset Reliability Ramps up Production Time at Horne Copper Smelter, Saving CAD$ 180,000 Each Year

• The highly competitive global business drove Glencore’s need to increase asset reliability and their response to regulatory compliance processes with instant access to records 
• After successful implementation of AssetWise Reliability at their Horne Smelter facility, their other facilities around the world wanted to take advantage of this success and learn how to do the same for themselves  
• Production increased by almost 20%, and they saved CAD$ 180,000 per year by automating the production of inspection and regulatory compliance work orders 

Project Overview 

Glencore is a very large, globally diverse, natural resource company with production assets on five continents. Their Horne Smelter, located in Rouyn-Noranda, Canada, is one of the world’s largest processor of electronic end-of-life products containing copper and precious metals. They have a sister nickel processing facility, also in Canada, as well as other recycling facilities around the world.  

Glencore operates in a very competitive market that is expanding as the demand for recycling increases. Facing the need to both maintain their market share and increase it, Glencore’s business is under constant pressure to increase reliability and respond quickly to regulatory and compliance demands. 

Challenge 

Historically, the Horne Smelter copper facility experienced costly failures in critical equipment. To improve reliability and prevent unexpected shutdowns, Glencore wanted to implement a risk-based maintenance approach to detect failures before they occur. In addition, they wanted to share experiences regarding failure modes across Glencore facilities to more accurately predict critical failure patterns and consistently increase the reliability of critical assets to meet their production targets and financial goals. 

Breakthrough 

The Horne Smelter was the first copper production facility to successfully implement a risk-based approach to maintenance known as reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) using Bentley AssetWise APM. Realizing that they could implement the solution—which they started using 10 years ago—on other facilities, Glencore improved and evolved their approach and have now begun extending AssetWise to their nickel division.  

At the Horne Smelter, the AssetWise system manages 5,000 critical assets over a total of 15,000 equipment and supports 200 staff members from the maintenance and production department. The integrated AssetWise solution identifies failure modes and causes by following RCM methods and by establishing maintenance and operation strategies. The system gives everyone in maintenance the visibility into critical equipment reliability and performance that they need. 

To extend the solution to their nickel smelter in Sudbury – and eventually to all facilities – they moved their AssetWise installation to the cloud.    

“Having worked in reliability for many years, and having seen worldwide competition in manufacturing industries grow stronger and stronger, I believe that asset reliability should be part of the DNA for all production plants, regardless of the size or type of facility,” said Ghislain Bisson, reliability system coordinator with Glencore. “Using Bentley’s AssetWise APM solution has enabled us to maintain our focus on reliability to deliver significant business value and stay ahead of our competition.”  

Outcome 

After using AssetWise at the Horne Smelter, Glencore increased cast copper production from 190,000 tons per year to 225,000 per year, an almost 20% increase. They saved CAD$ 180,000 annually with automated inspections and regulatory compliance work orders that require four-times less rework and planning. The centralized database has helped them meet new certification requirements for different export markets, expanding their global business.  

Glencore can now identify failure modes and provide operation and maintenance strategies that maximize reliability and minimize downtime. They are rolling out AssetWise Reliability to their nickel operation and they are able to share their experiences built up over the past decade with their sister facilities all over the world.

Volgogradnefteproekt Creates Digital Twin of a Large-scale Gas Processing Complex, Enabling Streamlined Design, Construction, and Operations, and Reducing Downtime by 10%-15%

• The ethane-containing gas processing complex (ECGPC) consists of a gas processing plant, a gas chemical complex, and transport infrastructure  
• Volgogradnefteproekt, LLC leveraged advanced technologies to support design, construction, and operations, creating a digital twin 
• Providing an integrated and dynamic collaboration environment for globally dispersed project participants, the digital twin helped them review, compare, and assemble a 3D model containing elements created with different design applications 
• Their digital twin of the facility for operations was developed during the design stage, achieving a savings estimate of more than USD 5.5 million  

Project Overview 

PJSC Gazprom, a natural gas provider in Russia, wanted to produce an ethane-containing gas processing complex (ECGPC). The integrated project would consist of a gas processing plant (GPP), a gas chemical complex (GCC), and road infrastructure near the Ust-Luga village of Kingiseppsky in the Leningradskaya Oblast, near St. Petersburg. The large scale and complexity of this project required the collaboration of an international team located across the globe including the Netherlands, South Korea, China, and Russia. 

Volgogradnefteproekt, LLC (VNP) was tasked with delivering this large-scale gas processing complex. The GPP will create ethane for use by the GCC to produce commercial polymers. This gas chemical complex is unique, however, in terms of both the volume of raw materials and products processed. Polyethylene production requires large amounts of water (130,000 cubic meters per day), so the project needed to maximize the reuse of water. Since the plant is in an area where it rains frequently and is very humid, VNP was required to design the facility to collect and treat rainwater to use it in the production process. All industrial wastewater and gray water need to be directed to treatment facilities to replenish the water supply used for industrial needs. Implementing these measures will prevent the facility from dumping contaminated water into local rivers and cut the need for continuous water extraction from external sources by almost 50%, helping to reduce the environmental impact. 

Challenge  

To make this large-scale, highly technical project a success, VNP recognized that they had to push the boundaries of technology. With team members located across several countries, they had to find a way to share data among each other seamlessly and cost effectively. They looked for a company that would offer software with cutting-edge collaboration capabilities to communicate with all project participants, as well as applications they could use to create a digital twin of the operational facility. They needed a management system that could handle a large amount of information, including visually planning the construction, procurement, and documentation development, and monitoring and controlling the construction progress. Furthermore, VNP needed software that would support the implementation of facility commissioning, analyze changes and potential changes, and determine the impact these changes would have on construction, procurement, and the schedule.  

To meet their information management goals, VNP needed a multifaceted BIM solution with 4D construction modeling, enterprise asset creation, and engineering data management. However, they needed the right software to help them effectively leverage these systems and data, while providing a way to control the progress of work, analyze the as-built facility, as well as make changes and prepare the necessary reports. They also needed to ensure that the software featured a design capacity to produce 3 million tons of commercial polymer per year, all while communicating across various countries. 

Breakthrough 

VNP realized that Bentley could provide the technology to meet the challenging information management and collaboration requirements, as well as develop a digital twin of the facility during the design stage—while considering the requirements for the facility’s future operation digital twin. They created and curated a digital twin to provide an integrated and dynamic environment for globally dispersed project participants to collaborate. Bentley’s iTwin Services were used in the project delivery phase to review, compare, and assemble a 3D model containing elements created with different design applications, including AVEVA, TEKLA, and Bentley applications.  

ProjectWise was used for collaboration, engineering data management, and as the single source of truth for the project participants across Europe and China. The project used AWP to plan and manage the construction, as well as SYNCHRO and ProjectWise to create a single system for work planning and acceptance. VNP will deliver the final 3D model of the facility as an iModel and use AWP to plan and manage the construction. Lastly, AssetWise ALIM will be used in the future to create a digital asset for the operations phase. 

“We work out all the processes in the digital world before we implement them in the real world,” said Sergey Golub, head of Volgogradnefteproekt’s integrated design and auditing department. “Therefore, the future possibilities of digital twins are unlimited and will allow us to eliminate potential errors in the physical world. It is the digital models that unite participants during decision-making and decision implementation, regardless of the number of participants and their location. This is the international language of interaction.” 

Outcome 

VNP’s ambitious use of advanced technologies for information management and project delivery is yielding noteworthy results. All the necessary materials are being received by the time that they are needed at the construction site, reducing potential downtime by 10% to 15%. Each construction documentation package is prepared by the time the corresponding work begins in accordance with construction packages, potentially reducing the labor costs of developing documentation by 5% to 10%. Installation tasks are assigned, and work is accepted, in accordance with construction packages, leading to a predicted process acceleration of 10%. These improvements helped ensure streamlined collaboration and communication across a globally dispersed team. 

A digital twin of the facility was generated as part of the design and construction process without additional labor costs or accounting associated with creating it after the facility is complete, saving an estimated USD 5.5 million. The digital twin is not only a twin of the facility itself but also of the organizational processes that are implemented during the physical replication and construction of this facility.

LandScope Engineering Creates Digital Twin Providing a Single View of All Survey Data for Royal Holloway, University of London to Improve Collaboration and Reduce Costs

• Estates Team houses multidiscipline survey data in a single view, including legacy and newly captured asset information   
• LandScope Engineering was tasked with conducting mobile surveying of the entire campus for a single view of aboveground and belowground campus assets 
• The digital twin allowed all users to perform quick search queries and view detailed asset information throughout the campus in a single environment 
• Using Bentley’s Orbit applications, LandScope Engineering surveyed and managed all new assets or infrastructure as standard, ensuring that the data is always current  

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.

MCC CERI Implements Digital Factory Approach on World’s Largest Relocation of an Iron and Steel Plant, Enabling a 75% Reduction in Commissioning Time

• MCC CERI is tasked with designing and building a new modern iron and steel plant under a very strict time frame 
• A digital factory is being created and maintained alongside the physical factory to synchronize design, construction, delivery, and operation, improving both project delivery and asset performance 
• The digital factory approach is enabling a 75% reduction in commissioning time, and typical operations savings of 60-70% by reducing energy consumption 

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.

Shanghai Electric Environmental Protection Group Creates Digital Twin on Thermoelectric Waste-to-Energy Incineration Project, Saving 31% in Labor Costs

• The Technology Renovation and Expansion Project of Shanghai Electric Environmental Protection Thermoelectric (Nantong) Co., Ltd. is Shanghai Electric’s first waste-to-energy incineration project 
• The project needed to keep the existing plant operating smoothly to maintain the livelihood of residents 
• The Shanghai Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd. applied BIM 3D models to create a digital twin  

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.”

Systematica Pioneers Multimodal Mobility Simulation with Innovative Technology on Milan’s Urban Regeneration Project, Accelerating Approval Time by 2 Months

• Systematica used CUBE to explore how an over 60,000-inhabitant, mixed-use campus can be effectively integrated with Milan’s transportation infrastructure with a more sustainable, multimodal approach   
• They wanted to help the district model all forms of mobility to create a benchmark for planning and designing future urban development, providing options across macro-mobility (traditional cars and mass transit), autonomous vehicles, and micro-mobility (walking and cycling)    
• Final approval of the entire master plan by public authorities is estimated to be six months instead of the normal eight months  
• The project is creating a new and effective dialogue with technology providers and mobility operators to explore and identify the most suitable solutions not just for this district, but for other cities moving forward 

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.
