“As one of the first movers, Arup is committed to be at the forefront of BIM development, driving BIM use to improve its positive impact across a diverse spectrum of disciplines and projects,” said Timothy Suen, Arup fellow and director of Railway in East Asia.
The project involves construction of 1.8km twin railway tunnels, a new underground station with interchange facilities, as well as ventilation buildings and shafts in Wan Chai of the Hong Kong Island – one of the most built-up and busiest commercial areas in the territory. The winners will be honored at the upcoming Autodesk University 2015 conference this December in Las Vegas.Īrup was awarded the first place prize for MTR Shatin to Central Link, a 17km-long railway line expansion undertaken by MTR in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. The judges evaluated entries based on complexity, innovative use of technology, sustainability and the execution of a BIM process to anticipate, assess and act more confidently from project start to finish and continue to add value to operations and maintenance. Managed by CGarchitect, and co-sponsored by Autodesk and HP, the competition’s panel of industry expert judges selected the winners from a total of 40 submissions covering a wide range of airports ports bridges and tunnels rail and transit roads and highways land, urban and campus water resources and utilities projects. This remarkable effort demonstrated how the application of BIM process-based technologies and practices can help manage project scope and foster cross-disciplinary design to support design reviews, improve constructability, manage traffic and communicate more effectively with all stakeholders.” “First place Arup, for example, created a large-scale model for a section of a 17 km-long railway line that integrates GIS data from multiple sources and formats and consolidated this information with the proposed station, tunnels, public facilities and as-built records of the adjacent buildings. “Each of the winning projects offers a model for the application of forward-thinking Building Information Modeling workflows and technologies for challenging infrastructure projects,” said Amar Hanspal, senior vice president, Autodesk. The competition also recognizes CivilE, LLC as small project award winner, and Dawn Digital Pvt. In its fourth year, the Competition honors Arup, Costain and Ramboll – Parsons Brinckerhoff Joint Venture, and HNTB as the Competition’s first, second and third place winners for their transit and bridge projects. MTR Shatin to Central Link in Hong Kong, Hammersmith Flyover Strengthening Phase 2 in London, and the Sixth Street Viaduct, Los Angeles take top honors for exemplary use of BIM for civil infrastructure projectsĪutodesk and CGarchitect, a leading online magazine and end-user community for visualization and design professionals, announced this year’s winners of the 2015 Autodesk Excellence in Infrastructure Competition to spotlight some of the world’s best applications of Building Information Modeling for civil infrastructure projects.
