We were appointed by the Airport Authority Hong Kong to deliver an as-built asset rich BIM model of Terminal 1. The as-built model was to be used for asset and facilities management purposes and as a visualisation and working tool for future development and expansion.
Our scope of work involved multidisciplinary as-built LOD 350 – 500 BIM modelling for 700,000 m2 of existing buildings, including the Terminal 1 main building, link bridges, aircraft loading bridges, ground transportation centre, limousine lounge and associated tunnels, north satellite concourse and skypier.
To create the as-built BIM model, the Airport Authority provided us with thousands of pieces of reference information such as as-built architectural, structural and building services drawings, photos, data schedules, point cloud and panoramic photos.
From the reference information, we created a fully federated LOD 500 as-built BIM model, incorporating architectural, structural, building services, Special Airport Systems, and associated civil/underground utilities.
During the 2-year programme our team validated over 10,000 folders, 500,000 files and 391GB of information, and created and aligned over 3,000,000 BIM geometries.
Atlas is one of few companies in the world with the expertise and capacity to take on such a large project and deliver it to the aggressive programme. We mobilised a large multidisciplinary team to fully model the terminal building in the first 3-months to meet programme requirements. We then continued with model validation against point cloud files and asset tagging.
