Session 1.2
Show me the database! – taking the evolutionary step in built asset information management
Synopsis:
This session will explore the role of Digital Built Environment in Asset Management.
Karl Fitzpatrick from Auckland International Airport Limited (AIAL) will give an insight into the role that dRofus is playing in the evolution of information management at the Airport.
As digital assets are created, many owners are seeing issues in a proliferation GIS and BIM modelled data as well as huge amounts of file-based information.
Karl will explain how AIAL are aiming to resolve this via the use of dRofus as a “data normalisation hub” with the ultimate aim of a fully connected Built Asset Information Management System.
As an owner wanting to manage assets with model/file overload this presentation is a “how to guide” to see the wood from the trees on creating consistent data on your buildings.
In summary we will aim to show what is AIAL’s vision? Why is this important? How do we get there? What does this enable for the digitization of AIAL?”
Learning Objectives:
1. Show how Auckland Airport has gained benefits from the digitalization of infrastructure assets throughout their full design, build and operate life-cycle.
2. Show the evolution of Information Management from paper and file based to data based and linked in an Open BIM environment
3. Why dRofus? – Closing the information gap between between the information production process and the people who need it?
Body:
Explanation of key deliverables and review of the digital engineering benefits to the large term development of the airport and surrounds. A “digital twin” of the organisation’s current and future built assets is being created using a range of applications that allow the sharing of information using open standards. The scale of Auckland Airport’s infrastructure projects and operational requirements support an evolution in information management to make better use of data about its built environment.
To achieve this Auckland Airport developed Building Information Models (BIM) – or digital replicas of buildings – to support the design and management of key infrastructure assets and long-term development at the airport.
With data management being at the centre of this project Karl will explain how dRofus is now part of the incremental digital strategy roll out and steps taken so far as part of the technology stack on the project.
The presentation will include a demo of current technology being employed and some use case benefits so far.
Karl will cover some of the challenges involved in moving from 2D to an evolved Open BIM solution and the issues encountered when organisations’ need to keep up with the pace of change of technology.
