Tech Redefines Aurangabad Industrial City Project

The Aurangabad Industrial City (AURIC) is among India's first well-planned, greenfield industrial Smart Cities, which has been developed in an area of 10, 000 acres, out of which the Bidkin Industrial Area spans 2,487 acres.

The design-and-build contract for the construction of the AURIC city project was given to Larsen & Toubro (L&T) construction. Techture, one of the consultants on the Bidkin Industrial Area stretch of the AURIC city project, assisted in the project’s BIM-enabled virtual construction, including the design of the roads, utilities, and highway structures.

Working in close collaboration with L&T, Techture used Autodesk AEC solutions (Civil 3D, InfraWorks and Navisworks) to devise the project workflow

Creating a federated and dynamic 3D Building Information Model (BIM) for the AURIC city aided in better multi-party communication and a unified understanding through the 3D model. The infrastructure digitization of roads, utilities and electrical assets improved quantity estimation, reduced timelines, and increased cost efficiencies by leaps and bounds.

1. Creating an efficient workflow. 2. Clash disputes. 3. Lack of coordination and collaboration causing delay in project design delivery. 4. Improper planning leading to excessive wastage on the construction site. 5. Continuously evolving design expectations leading to significant rework.

1. Dynamic clash detection and coordinated civil infrastructural modelling. 2. High-quality high performing building and infrastructure design. 3. Project workflow optimization with integrated analysis, generative design, and visualization tools. 4. Easy design modifications with simulation tools. 5. Reduced rework and errors with 4D simulations. 6. Appropriate use of resources and saving on excessive wastage.

BIM value proposition

and provide a clash-free design, along with reliable, accurate and quantitative planning data for the project. This facilitated high-quality design from the pre-construction stage, for water-based utility networks, roads and highway structures.

The total budget allotted for the AURIC project was INR 6535.92 Crore (USD 873 Million) and was completed in 2020.
