Hong Kong International Airport T1 Expansion As-Builts
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.

Road Interchange Construction Sequence Animation
Working from 95% design drawings supplied in PDF format, we developed a detailed 3D model and produced a five-minute construction sequence animation for a major road interchange project comprising a flyover and two bridges.
The animation incorporated Google Earth Studio topography, along with traffic detours, lane shifts and falsework details. Developed collaboratively with the client, the storyboard and final animation were delivered within a six-week programme.

Marine Infrastructure—Construction Sequence Animation
Engaged during bid phase, we produced a construction sequence animation to clearly illustrate the proposed construction methodology. Working closely with the client, we developed the storyboard using detailed technical inputs, including pile and slab geometry and other key construction elements.
The 2.5-minute animation, produced in 14 days, focused on a specific section of pier works, visualising construction sequencing, plant and equipment operations, material movements, and the installation of beams and metallic components to support a compelling and technically accurate bid submission.

Residential Interior
High-quality 3D visualisations for marketing purposes, including fully optimised geometry, precise modelling and asset placement, custom textures, multiple light sources and accurate ray-traced shadows and reflections.
3D Visualisation
Bio-Mass Power Plant
Engaged during the bid phase, we developed a 3D model and fly-through presentation using approximate 2D data and limited supplier information. The one-minute video was created to illustrate the general layout and visual character of the plant, capturing all key buildings and indicative services routing. In addition, a series of still images and defined viewpoints were produced to support the bid submission.
With the facility design at an early concept stage, elements of the services infrastructure layout and sizing were estimated for visualisation purposes, requiring close coordination and informed assumptions to deliver a clear and compelling representation of the proposed scheme.

Animation—Service Station
We collaborated closely with the client to create a fly-thru animation of a service station site.

Airport Expansion—Bid Stage Animation
To support the design bid process for a major airport expansion, we delivered specialist Revit modelling and 3D animation services to visualise a new midfield concourse and terminal building.
We developed a detailed BIM model of the proposed midfield concourse, incorporating surrounding context to accurately represent scale, interfaces, and site conditions. Building on this, we produced a three-minute 3D animation that showcased key design elements, spatial planning, and construction sequencing. Together, these services enabled stakeholders to clearly understand the proposed development, assess design intent, and confidently communicate the project vision during the competitive bid phase.

Special Lifting Frame—Construction Sequence Animation
For the construction of an elevated roadway, the main contractor needed a 3D model of a specialised lifting frame used during construction. Using supplied 2D AutoCAD shop drawings, we modelled the lifting frame in Tekla to LOD 300 and created a construction sequence animation using Navisworks and Autodesk 3D Studio Max.

Healthcare Campus Phase 1A—Animation
A four-minute animated marketing video was produced to showcase the design and context of a proposed mixed-use healthcare campus. Existing SketchUp and Revit models were refined and developed to an appropriate level of detail, then integrated with satellite mapping to accurately represent site topography and geographic context. Select surrounding areas were also modelled to enhance realism and visual continuity.
The animation communicated the campus design while illustrating its relationship to key landmarks and infrastructure. Pop-up caption graphics were incorporated to present project highlights and supporting information, creating a clear, engaging visual narrative to support stakeholder communication and marketing objectives.

Pedestrian Link Bridge
During the design competition phase for a new pedestrian bridge, the main contractor required an architectural and structural engineering partner to develop a 3D model of the bridge’s complex, serpentine form and undertake a full technical review.
Their goal was to propose a construction solution that could be fabricated off-site and built with minimum disruption to the adjoining hospital and surrounding park environment.
Using our BIM model, we deconstructed and rebuilt the design, rationalising it into regular components suitable for efficient off-site fabrication. To support the competition evaluation, we created walk-thru animations and an immersive augmented reality experience, allowing the judging panel to fully understand the proposed construction solution. We also produced detailed fabrication drawings for the steel manufacturer.
As a result, the client reduced construction costs by approximately 21% and clearly demonstrated the commercial viability of their proposal.
