Atlas awarded third place at Autodesk ASEAN Innovation Awards 2023
Atlas won third place in the prestigious Innovator of the Year category at the Autodesk ASEAN Innovation Awards (AAIA) 2023. The accolade was awarded in recognition of the team’s great work on the Hong Kong International Airport Terminal 1 project, which exemplified the transformative power of digital technology in the AEC industry.
Our team was entrusted by the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) to embark on the first phase of the airport’s digital twin journey. Their objective was to develop an as-built asset-rich BIM model of Terminal 1, which would serve as a comprehensive asset and facilities management tool, as well as a visualisation aid for future expansion and development.
Atlas harnessed the capabilities of several Autodesk solutions, including ReCap, Revit, BIM360, Navisworks, and Dynamo. During the programme, the team meticulously validated an immense volume of data, consisting of over 10,000 folders, 500,000 files, and a staggering 391GB of information, and successfully generated and aligned more than 3,000,000 BIM geometries.
A key highlight of the project was the seamless collaboration of over 50 professionals across various disciplines, showcasing excellent teamwork and project management. This synchronised effort ensured the integration of multiple facets of the project, ultimately contributing to its success.
Atlas Digital Director, David Llorente, and team members of the digital team represented Atlas at the AAIA event. David delivered a presentation on the award-winning project and participated in a round table discussion to share the ideas of cutting-edge advancements in design, technology, and application within the industry.
The advantages of digital transformation, understanding the technology and its potential to revolutionise the way we envision and create the built environment, were also discussed at the conference.
The Autodesk ASEAN Innovator of the Year award is a testament to our unwavering commitment to embracing digital transformation and leveraging innovative technologies.
