Innovation and InspirationComprising highlights of the more than 300 nominations in the 2013 Be Inspired Awards competition, The Year in Infrastructure 2013 demonstrates Bentley users remarkable projects for the design, construction, and operation of the built environment that enables communities around the globe to thrive and grow. These projects are making the worlds infrastructure inventory safer and more resilient, energy efficient, productive, and sustainable.

The variety, scope, and scale of these projects from a cancer treatment center in London and new roadway in Brazil to the safe decommissioning of an aging nuclear power plant in Russia and the provision of safe drinking water in the Philippines is truly inspiring. Each is a testament to the ingenuity of architects and engineers, constructors, and owner-operators to leverage technology to improve the quality of life.

Occasionally these projects capture the worlds attention, as did the righting of the sunken Costa Concordia cruise ship off the coast of Italy in September 2013, thanks, in part, to the innovative and unprecedented engineering work of TECON. But most of these projects and the people behind them receive little fanfare, working in the background to provide all of us with clean energy, efficient transportation, and sustainable environments in which to live and work.

The Year in Infrastructure 2013 is Bentleys tribute to the years most innovative infrastructure projects and to the professionals who have the inspiration and dedication to bring them to life.

SUSTAINING OUR SOCIETY

WINNERHenan Water & Power Engineering Consulting Co., LtdShahe Aqueduct ProjectPingdingshan, Henan, China

The Shahe Aqueduct in Henan, China, is part of the Middle Route Project for South-to-North Water Transfer a Government initiative that will divert water from Danjiangkou Reservoir to Beijing. The CNY 2.75 billion aqueduct will help alleviate water shortages in the Beijing-Tianjin region, as well as control underground water exploitation. By promoting the conservation, protection, and allocation of water resources, this vital infrastructure project will ultimately support the sustainable development of the regional economy and society.

Extending 11.96 kilometers and crossing eight rivers, the Shahe Aqueduct is also the largest aqueduct project in the world. Henan Water & Power Engineering Consulting Co. implemented Bentleys 3D solutions to develop coordinated designs and construction methods. The U-shaped pre-stressed girder aqueduct required the application of advanced construction technology. With Bentley solutions, the project team created a 3D model to simulate the whole process, anticipate problems, and adjust the construction plan accordingly.

Bentley products included MicroStation, AECOsim Building Designer, GEOPAK Civil Engineering Suite, Bentley Navigator, and ProjectWise. By shortening the design phase to four months, Bentley solutions saved about two months and CNY 2 million. The 3D model created to simulate construction improved productivity and reduced costs by optimizing the construction scheme in advance.

As part of the decommissioning process for the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant in Kurchatov, Russia, the team worked with Neolant to create an information system to store the engineering and technical information required by all organizations involved. The scalable system minimized the risk of using outdated or untrustworthy information when making technical decisions. As a result, the safety of the decommissioning process was assured.

They chose Bentley solutions to plan the final stage of the plant lifecycle and design an information support system capable of lasting for at least 100 years. The project involved re-creating the detailed power plant configuration, including structures within the industrial site as well as individual elements of the reactor and other equipment. Solutions based on MicroStation, in combination with Bentley PlantSpace software, allowed the project team to create 3D models of the plant by re-engineering the design and engineering documentation.

ProjectWise provided a single interface for interacting with the system, and centralized record-keeping for all technical information. The information support system also performed certain functions, such as automating the calculation of decontamination volumes or radioactive waste quantities. Improving safety, minimizing risk, and shortening the timelines for various procedures helped to lower the overall cost of decommissioning.

WINNER

The AUD 52 billion development of the Greater Gorgon gas fields and three-train liquefied natural gas plant on Barrow Island, a protected nature reserve off the northwest coast of Australia, involved restrictive procedures for the limited lay-down yards. All equipment, materials, and tools had to be inspected, cleaned, fumigated, and shrink-wrapped prior to shipment, adding four weeks to delivery time.

These and other logistical challenges required Kellogg Joint Venture Gorgons Last Planner Department to define project details at least 18 weeks ahead of construction. ConstructSim created a virtual construction model by aggregating project data from various systems. This provided real-time visibility that enabled the team to create construction work packages at the area and discipline level, as well as break down each package into field installation work packages. Before packages were released to the field, ConstructSim also performed constraint analyses as part of the Last Planner process.

By automating workface planning best practices, ConstructSim reduced work package production time by 90 percent. Packages took one to two hours instead of over eight hours each to create, reducing crew idle time, rework, and out-of-sequence work; improving field productivity and safety; and saving millions of dollars. As an automation tool, ConstructSim helped to achieve safety, financial, and environmental goals.

TECON S.r.l.Costa Concordia Wreck Removal ProjectIsola del Giglio, Grosseto, Italy

WINNER

As the first salvage operation to raise a ship of this size without dismantling it, the USD 400 million Costa Concordia Wreck Removal Project achieved the remarkable feat of removing the cruise ship stranded off the shore of Isola del Giglio, Italy. The Titan (USA)-Microperi (Italy) joint venture completed the task in collaboration with multiple design teams all working toward the goal of protecting the sensitive ocean environment and restoring the site back to its original state.

TECON contributed the unique conceptual design and complex installation of six underwater platforms that created a flat plane for the wreck to stand upon vertically. The platforms provided the anchoring system for parbuckling pulling lines, which withstood gravity and wave forces before the re-floating phase. The platforms three of which were at least 1,500 tons each were prefabricated in various yards, transported to the site on cargo barges, and installed by a lifting vessel.

SACS was used for all structural analysis including transportation, in-air and in-water lifting, pile/soil interactions, wave forces, and load combinations. TECON saved time and money using SACS as it enabled them to respond to continuous changes and verify new results. SACS user-friendly 3D output facilitated clear communication among the multi-discipline, international team. Thanks in part to this innovative solution, the wreck was righted and removed intact from this environmentally sensitive reef.

Imarati Engineers & Consultants (IEC) uses i-models to implement BIM-based program management from the initial design phase through facilities management. ProjectWise provides the environment for collaboration and information exchange among the client, design consultants, and contractors who are geographically dispersed across the United Arab Emirates and Europe. Publishing i-models in read-only format allows quick and safe project data exchange between Bentley BIM and Autodesk Revit platforms.

IEC uses i-models for critical applications such as precise and detailed material quantities extraction using SQL interrogation. Navigator Mobile enables IEC to access and interact with i-models using tablet devices. As projects enter the construction phase, i-models provide BIM updates. On one project alone, IEC processed multiple mechanical/electrical/plumbing system i-models to generate reports in just two hours instead of the estimated 780 hours it would have taken to process the information manually.

Publishing from i-model to Navigator Mobile allows IEC to embed other files such as PDFs and videos and leverage hypermodeling in the mobile version. This added capability has extended the range of information exchanged with the client and dispersed BIM team. IECs use of SQL to interrogate embedded facility data is a unique capability that has been developed internally and has resulted in significant savings in man-hours.

In Mokpo, South Korea, the USD 290 million Mokpo Bridge connects North Harbor to Goha Island, making the West Coast Highway and Muan International Airport accessible. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport retained GS Engineering & Construction to design the 3.06-kilometer bridge as a gateway to the harbor. The engineers chose RM Bridge for integrated structural analysis throughout the entire project.

This type of long-span, sea-crossing bridge required a high level of analysis from very early in the design stage throughout the construction phase. Because the bridges structural system changed significantly as construction progressed, construction stage analysis was crucial. Cable forces, girder, and pylon displacements fluctuated with large variation during construction, and a newly erected cable and girder segment had to be installed using exact jacking force, at exact positions and angles.

Using RM Bridge for 4D modeling enabled the team to conduct initial force analysis, construction stage analysis, erection control, and wind dynamic analysis and design. The software also helped engineers forecast error trends and establish a timely error compensation strategy. RM Bridge enabled the engineers to optimize the technical design and to maximize time savings, potentially saving USD 1 million as a result.

Telecom Italias asset management process involved multiple internal business units with mostly non-integrated operational procedures and IT systems. To achieve integrated asset management and information trustworthiness, Telecom Italia Information Technology undertook the Telecom Italia Asset Management (TIAM) project based on Bentleys eB. The project represented an investment of EUR 500,000-600,000 to purchase, implement, and maintain the new software.

The first phase of the project created a centralized system for certification and synchronization of infrastructure assets. Subsets of data from each of three systems buildings, equipment, and inventory reporting were modeled and loaded into eB. A monthly incremental procedure transfers additional records. Future development will extend to all asset types. The TIAM Trusted Information Dashboard allows transparent, integrated access to in-synch as-designed, as-built, and as-maintained asset information.

Southern Company expended approximately USD 2.4 million over five years on configuring and deploying eB Data Quality Manager, ensuring complete and accurate asset information is delivered from capital project execution to operations and maintenance at its energy-generating facilities throughout the southeastern United States. eB Data Quality Manager now manages more than 737,000 assets across seven facilities.

By increasing efficiencies around startup and commissioning, eB Data Quality Manager produced more than USD 4 million in savings for the Plant Ratcliffe construction project in Mississippi, with 307,461 assets. External partners also benefited, saving an estimated USD 600 for each asset managed in eB Data Quality Manager. Since April 2011, the software has also been deployed on environmental projects totaling USD 8.3 billion, saving an estimated USD 25 per asset.

Rejecting the notion that museum architecture should be a neutral background, Morphosis Architects imbued the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Texas, with a distinct identity that was achieved by integrating architecture, nature, and technology. The 180,000-square-foot, 14-story facility features lively exhibits, vivid contextual displays of the museums collections, state-of-the-art technology, multimedia presentations, and hands-on activities.

Bentleys cross-platform interoperability enabled a seamless workflow among the architects, project consultants, and subcontractors, and the reliability of the design model built trust among the project stakeholders. The integrated BIM approach using MicroStation, Bentley Architecture, Structural Modeler, and Bentley Navigator allowed the Morphosis project team to deliver the USD 92 million world-class museum ahead of schedule and for approximately 6 percent less than the contracted budget.

The goal of this USD 1.2 million project for Tiger Athletics was to digitally represent through renderings the proposed lighting scenarios for one of the most visited buildings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The firms took preliminary photos of the sites ambient light, the night sky, and materials, colors, and textures to better build the model, and laser-scanned the front of the building to produce accurate surface geometries.

Engensus along with Forte & Tablada, utilized laser scanning to generate a 3D model within MicroStation and AECOsim Building Designer, and then used Luxology, MicroStations visualization engine, to add realistic lighting via IES files to assure the client that the images were scientifically correct. Point-cloud data was used to fill in elements that had not been modeled yet. The renderings and images from the physical mock-up of one section coincided completely.

Eco Design designed this EUR 500,000 near-zero-energy, 160-square-meter house in Reggio, Italy. The house features a very low-energy demand by using sun exposure, shading, and passive design strategies like natural ventilation, thermal mass storage, and night cooling. The high-efficiency building is equipped with a geothermal heat pump and has systems for heating and mechanical ventilation.

The solar study using MicroStation and AECOsim Building Designer enabled Eco Design to choose the roof with maximum insulation on which to position the solar panels and design a better winter solar collection and better shading for the outdoor areas. Bentley Tas was used to conduct the dynamic energy simulation, which included quickly and accurately calculating the heat load and precisely calculating the photovoltaic solar panels energy usage.

John Wardle ArchitectsWestfield Sydney RedevelopmentSydney, New South Wales, Australia

The redevelopment of Westfield Sydney not only had to meet the clients exact standards for a retail destination, but it also needed to incorporate the relocation of Westfields corporate headquarters. Because the site is located at the base of Sydney Tower, the citys tallest structure, the John Wardle Architects design had to meld with an internationally iconic location.

The profile for Westfield Sydney is an elliptical shape that maintains vantage points of the Sydney Tower. The AUD 500 million design, which emphasized shape, texture, and stitching elements, required many iterations to ensure cohesion. The use of MicroStation and Bentley Architecture enabled rapid modeling that harmonized disparate elements with one of the most high-profile structures in the world.

Estaleiro Enseada do Paraguau is one of the first users of AECOsim Building Designer for naval offshore projects, which has garnered interest from its primary client (Petrobras/Sete Brasil) due to the clear and detailed views of the project and intelligent presentation of materials and equipment. The use of AECOsim Building Designer has saved significant design revision time and reduced design costs.

On this USD 4.8 billion project in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Estaleiro Enseadas primary challenge was to significantly facilitate the revision process by automating the extraction of drawings and lists using the intelligent model as the base for all stages. MicroStation and the AECOsim Building Designer model read files from other disciplines and generated intelligent files for visualization.

Architekturbro Erich Kalis used MicroStation for this project to visualize the concept of fair houses, a unique building design in which all units have identical residential value. Of course, this innovative plan can only be accomplished if all dwellings have the same amenities, such as hours of sunshine and views in all directions.

To achieve this, the dwelling units as a whole revolve (horizontally) and move (vertically) via computer control. The elevator core, too, has a rotating bearing. The residents identity is ascertained upon entry into the elevator, which comes to a stop at the residents current front door. The dwellings are linked by means of a central coupling to the buildings central supply and disposal area.

The Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway, is an architectural tribute to Edward Munch, creator of the famous painting The Scream. The project goal was to visually reflect the unique character of Munchs work. Tapani Launis designed the structure with bent, self-supporting, arched surfaces that strategically allow natural light to create paths for visitors to proceed through the exhibition and public facilities.

MicroStation featured the simple lofting modeling tools that generated the topological forms, and the software created the 3D model from 2D images easily. MicroStations rendering interface provided more power, intuitiveness, and ease for presentation, and its visualization tools met high-quality standards of higher-end modeling software.

This EUR 60 million EMMEDUE project integrated the M2 PanelCAD application into MicroStation. The first priority for EMMEDUE was to find a flexible CAD architecture solution that allowed modeling of buildings and the creation of attractive presentations, renderings, and illustrations. MicroStation was chosen because of its flexibility and potential for developing new functions that would optimize the entire production process.

M2 PanelCAD, easy-to-use software developed by EMMEDUE in collaboration with Bentley partner PlanStudio, designs simple and complex buildings of any shape using EMMEDUE panels. It is the most advanced way to generate estimations of EMMEDUE panels and accessories, and combines 2D and 3D drawings and production lists, leading to theoretical earnings of 66 percent. The new application is a step forward for integrated building design.

DEM was commissioned by Global Switch to design a new data center on the western fringe of Sydney, Australia. The facility contains approximately 24,000 square meters of technical data hall space supported by fully redundant and technically advanced backup power, services, protection, and security systems. The goal of this AUD 300 million project was to deliver a high-quality, sustainable, and iconic building.

Using AECOsim Building Designer, DEMs data center design showcased its ability to transition 3D presentation models into fully functional BIM construction models and ultimately, an as-built model of the finished facility. The building sets a new standard for data centers worldwide by demonstrating that a technical and function-driven facility can contribute positively to an urban environment.
