BIM for Surveyors Workshop

Saturday 5 May 2018 and Field Trip "End-to-end BIM at the World’s Largest Airport" Sunday 6 May 2018

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the way how surveyors work, think, collaborate and make money. Using and sharing multidimensional digital representations of buildings are the driving forces for the digitalization of our work. This affects many tasks surveyors and GIS professionals perform, e. g. cost estimation, GIS analysis, engineering surveying, construction work, land management and facilities management.

Scope of the Workshop:

Teaching theoretical background of the BIM method (concepts, workflows and standards).
Best practice presentations from large projects and SME (from surveyor’s point of view).
Presentation of the latest software (surveying, integration and collaboration with BIM, CAD, GIS).

Audience:

International professionals from AEC-companies and land administration agencies
GIS and BIM experts (Project Manager, Engineers, Software developer)
Young professionals interested in this new technology for their own projects
Academics from different countries - just few universities teach BIM until now.
Students and young professionals from the FIG Young Surveyors Network.

The workshop is organised by Christian Clemen, Germany, HTW Dresden

Programme - Sunday 6 May 2018

10:00-15:00 End-to-end BIM at the World’s Largest Airport - Technical Tour
Organisation Dr. Ozan Köseoglu, iGA - Istanbul New Airport

End to end BIM from design to Facility Management is implemented to the World’s Largest Airport by IGA. Istanbul 3rd airport Project is the world’s largest airport project, the project scope encompasses 4 phases. The first phase includes the construction of 3 runways, the Terminal Building including 5 Piers (1.3 million m2) , a carpark ( 700,000 m2) , TC Tower (5000 m2) and other site support facilities with THY Buildings.

At the end of the completion of all phases, a visionary project will come to life providing 76 million m2 of airport with 6 runways, supporting 3,500 take-offs and landings per day, 200 million passengers a year, and access to 350 worldwide destinations.
BIM at IGA has been the integrative platform between all the related parties in case of design and coordination. The resulting clash-free –ready to manufacture- BIM Model with necessary engineering decisions considering all disciplines is being shared to the site directly by mobile applications. This leads to a more faster and correct application of the coordinated design without any delay and with minimum problems on site. BIM is being used in many other perspectives such as QA-QC, Quantity Surveying, Planning and Project Control, Energy Analysis, Test & Commissioning and Facility Management.

Another breakthrough in IGA is utilizing Site Teams in order to supervise site installations in accordance to the BIM Model, with the help of iPads and BIM360 applications. BIM site team have been working closely with other discipline site responsible and even subcontractors leading them to the correct application. BIM360 layout and compatible robotic total stations are also utilized in the project by BIM Management Team in order to close track the BIM conformity of the site installations.
Since the airport will be operated for 25 years after its completion, not only through the design and construction stages but also during the operation stage, usage of BIM plays a crucial role. Efficiently reaching all the necessary information and resolving of future operational problems related to airport systems during pre-commissioning, commissioning and maintenance stages will be possible with the usage of BIM.

	The BIM Workshop was held at Hilton Bosphorus Istanbul. The BIM for Surveyors Workshop attracted more than fifty professionals and academic engineers. Building Information modelling is the key for the implementation of digital models and processes for the construction industry. The workshop showed that surveyors play a crucial role in BIM design and implementation: managing project and asset data with proper coordinate reference systems, linking the construction project to GIS, measured surveys of the built environment using terrestrial laser scanners, setting out and machine guidance, linking virtual building models to land management, tendering and costs. Surveyors make BIM work properly.
	In the evening the main sponsor invited the participants out for dinner. The participant enjoyed the Turkish cuisine with a beautiful view of Istanbul.

On the second day the participants went on a technical tour to World’s Largest Airport, IGA - Istanbul New Airport.
