WINNER

Project Name Bentley Substation Implementation Location San Francisco, California, United States

VIEW PRESENTATION

Company Name Project Name Location

Pacific Gas and Electric’s Substation Engineering Services department is responsible for over 1,000 substations throughout its service territory, which spans two-thirds of California. Using traditional CADD methods required not only limited resources devoting significant hours to substation design, but it also had the potential to generate errors that ultimately led to costly rework in the field.

Projected annual savings based on 120 internal projects is USD 1.9 million on physical arrangements and USD 2.8 million on schematics.

By gaining accuracy and efficiency on engineering drawings, the expected construction savings could average 40 man-hours per project, or USD 1 million annually. Total projected annual savings is projected to be USD 5.7 million. Taking the learning curve into consideration, this project could have a return on investment in less than two years.

INNOVATION IN BRIDGES PEDELTA Colombia S.A.S. Huasco Viaduct Bridge Vallenar, Chile The USD 13 million Huasco Viaduct replaced an obsolete bridge on Route 5 North in Vallenar, Chile. Located near the Atacama fault, the deep valley crossing had to meet strict seismic and geometric requirements. The solution was a 116-meter main span with 42-meter lateral spans and a 23.3-meter-wide single-cell deck. Use of a segmental continuous girder with variable depth optimized material usage.

RM Bridge enabled PEDELTA to achieve low material ratios using hollow concrete piers on shallow foundations. The software allowed designers to consider all possible loads and conditions during each phase of development and estimate deformations, allowing fast and controlled construction using the cantilever method. Design was performed on time and under budget using RM Bridge’s optimization tools and built-in AASHTO LRFD specifications.

PEDELTA Colombia S.A.S. South-East and 44th Street Interchange Santiago de Cali, Colombia The USD 20 million South-East 44th Street Interchange eliminated traffic congestion by introducing a straight bridge over South Highway, joined to a curved branch conducting vehicles back to the highway. Designed as a city landmark, the structure features a slender bridge deck comprised of posttensioned, cast-in-place concrete and hollow-core box girder. Three-phase segmental construction avoided total closure of the roadway.

The structure was detailed, analyzed, and designed considering the behavior of the structure during each construction phase using RM Bridge. The software allowed PEDELTA to assess such effects as concrete creep and retraction, preventing costly rectifications on site. Using RM Bridge, PEDELTA completed the design ahead of schedule despite the complexity of different geometries for the main straight segment and joined curved branch.

INNOVATION IN GOVERNMENT Sarawak Land and Survey Department Integrated Photogrammetry Solution With MicroStation Sarawak, Malaysia MicroStation is unique because it can be used for other digital airborne surveying technologies such as LiDAR and radar as well as imagery, which allowed Sarawak Land and Survey Department’s to deploy the relevant geospatial data collection technology in this USD 4 million project as an efficient digital workflow to accelerate the mapping process. The team is now able to produce digital topographical data based on 1:25,000, 1:10,000, 1:5,000, and 1:2,500 scales.

The vision of the Sarawak Land and Survey Department in Malaysia is to provide excellence in land administration and land management through reliable geospatial data. Unlike cadastral mapping that typically involves individual land surveyors to acquire data, topographic mapping requires specific high-accuracy airborne surveying technology that can enable users to extract geospatial features from the survey data outputs.

Seh Nirman Implementation of GIS in the Middle-class City of India Bhiwandi, India In this INR 55 million project for Bhiwandi, India, Seh Nirman created a GIS that has increased property tax collection by 10 times through an increase in tax collection from 30 percent to 86 percent, which includes a 50 percent increase of property tax collection for new properties. By implementing a GIS and conducting accurate GIS survey information, the city is now able to conduct more accurate tax assessments.

Using Bentley Map to create the GIS, Seh Nirman reduced data collection time by 50 percent and increased GIS implementations and follow-ups by 60 percent.

What made this project unique was the successful implementation of a GIS data collection, integration, and implementation within a large city within a single solution.

INNOVATION IN GOVERNMENT South Carolina Department of Transportation Outdoor Advertising Permitting System Columbia, South Carolina, United States The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) manages more than 6,400 active billboard permits, 3,180 inactive billboard permits, and 1,400 vegetation maintenance permits. The Outdoor Advertising Permitting System manages the application data – including transfer of sites, revision of active permitted billboards, and the replacement of permit tags – and allows sign owners to review their applications and permits online.

Bentley’s task was to integrate three permitting systems into one database that would allow for easy access of data, timely retrieval of information, a webbased interface, and a system that puts SCDOT on the cutting edge of billboard management. The application streamlines these workflows and manages data in a single database as well as transfers data residing in existing databases.

The workflow-driven solution is now available to other DOTs.

The projects in this category demonstrate excellence in planning, engineering, analysis, design, and management of site projects for buildings, plants, environmental, commercial, or governmental campuses. Managing a facility’s spaces, assets, and occupancy requires information created in many systems by many people over time. A digital asset facilitates design collaboration, supports construction delivery, and leverages facility information for operations and maintenance.
