Innovation and Inspiration Comprising highlights of the more than 300 nominations in the 2013 Be Inspired Awards competition, The Year in Infrastructure 2013 demonstrates Bentley users’ remarkable projects for the design, construction, and operation of the built environment that enables communities around the globe to thrive and grow. These projects are making the world’s infrastructure inventory safer and more resilient, energy efficient, productive, and sustainable.

The variety, scope, and scale of these projects – from a cancer treatment center in London and new roadway in Brazil to the safe decommissioning of an aging nuclear power plant in Russia and the provision of safe drinking water in the Philippines – is truly inspiring. Each is a testament to the ingenuity of architects and engineers, constructors, and owner-operators to leverage technology to improve the quality of life.

Occasionally these projects capture the world’s attention, as did the righting of the sunken Costa Concordia cruise ship off the coast of Italy in September 2013, thanks, in part, to the innovative and unprecedented engineering work of TECON. But most of these projects – and the people behind them – receive little fanfare, working in the background to provide all of us with clean energy, efficient transportation, and sustainable environments in which to live and work.

The Year in Infrastructure 2013 is Bentley’s tribute to the year’s most innovative infrastructure projects and to the professionals who have the inspiration and dedication to bring them to life.

2013 BE INSPIRED AWARDS

The Shahe Aqueduct in Henan, China, is part of the Middle Route Project for South-to-North Water Transfer – a Government initiative that will divert water from Danjiangkou Reservoir to Beijing.

The CNY 2.75 billion aqueduct will help alleviate water shortages in the Beijing-Tianjin region, as well as control underground water exploitation.

By promoting the conservation, protection, and allocation of water resources, this vital infrastructure project will ultimately support the sustainable development of the regional economy and society.

16

Extending 11.96 kilometers and crossing eight rivers, the Shahe Aqueduct is also the largest aqueduct project in the world. Henan Water & Power Engineering Consulting Co. implemented Bentley’s 3D solutions to develop coordinated designs and construction methods. The U-shaped pre-stressed girder aqueduct required the application of advanced construction technology. With Bentley solutions, the project team created a 3D model to simulate the whole process, anticipate problems, and adjust the construction plan accordingly.

WINNER

Bentley products included MicroStation, AECOsim Building Designer, GEOPAK Civil Engineering Suite, Bentley Navigator, and ProjectWise. By shortening the design phase to four months, Bentley solutions saved about two months and CNY 2 million. The 3D model created to simulate construction improved productivity and reduced costs by optimizing the construction scheme in advance.

SUSTAINING OUR ENVIRONMENT Kursk Power Station and JSC Neolant Information Support System for Decommissioning Kursk Nuclear Power Plant Kurchatov, Kursk Region, Russia

They chose Bentley solutions to plan the final stage of the plant lifecycle and design an information support system capable of lasting for at least 100 years. The project involved re-creating the detailed power plant configuration, including structures within the industrial site as well as individual elements of the reactor and other equipment. Solutions based on MicroStation, in combination with Bentley PlantSpace software, allowed the project team to create 3D models of the plant by re-engineering the design and engineering documentation.

ProjectWise provided a single interface for interacting with the system, and centralized record-keeping for all technical information.

The information support system also performed certain functions, such as automating the calculation of decontamination volumes or radioactive waste quantities. Improving safety, minimizing risk, and shortening the timelines for various procedures helped to lower the overall cost of decommissioning.

ATTAINING RETURN ON INNOVATION Kellogg Joint Venture Gorgon

WINNER

Gorgon Project Barrow Island, Australia

2013 BE INSPIRED AWARDS

The AUD 52 billion development of the Greater Gorgon gas fields and three-train liquefied natural gas plant on Barrow Island, a protected nature reserve off the northwest coast of Australia, involved restrictive procedures for the limited lay-down yards. All equipment, materials, and tools had to be inspected, cleaned, fumigated, and shrink-wrapped prior to shipment, adding four weeks to delivery time.

18

These and other logistical challenges required Kellogg Joint Venture Gorgon’s Last Planner Department to define project details at least 18 weeks ahead of construction. ConstructSim created a virtual construction model by aggregating project data from various systems. This provided real-time visibility that enabled the team to create construction work packages at the area and discipline level, as well as break down each package into field installation work packages.

Before packages were released to the field, ConstructSim also performed constraint analyses as part of the Last Planner process.

By automating workface planning best practices, ConstructSim reduced work package production time by 90 percent. Packages took one to two hours instead of over eight hours each to create, reducing crew idle time, rework, and out-ofsequence work; improving field productivity and safety; and saving millions of dollars. As an automation tool, ConstructSim helped to achieve safety, financial, and environmental goals.

INFRASTRUCTURE HERO OF THE YEAR TECON S.r.l.

Costa Concordia Wreck Removal Project Isola del Giglio, Grosseto, Italy

TECON contributed the unique conceptual design and complex installation of six underwater platforms that created a flat plane for the wreck to stand upon vertically. The platforms provided the anchoring system for parbuckling pulling lines, which withstood gravity and wave forces before the re-floating phase. The platforms – three of which were at least 1,500 tons each – were prefabricated in various yards, transported to the site on cargo barges, and installed by a lifting vessel.

SACS was used for all structural analysis including transportation, in-air and in-water lifting, pile/soil interactions, wave forces, and load combinations.

TECON saved time and money using SACS as it enabled them to respond to continuous changes and verify new results. SACS’ user-friendly 3D output facilitated clear communication among the multi-discipline, international team.

Mokpo Cable-stayed Bridge Mokpo, South Korea

2013 BE INSPIRED AWARDS

In Mokpo, South Korea, the USD 290 million Mokpo Bridge connects North Harbor to Goha Island, making the West Coast Highway and Muan International Airport accessible. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport retained GS Engineering & Construction to design the 3.06-kilometer bridge as a gateway to the harbor. The engineers chose RM Bridge for integrated structural analysis throughout the entire project.

22

This type of long-span, sea-crossing bridge required a high level of analysis from very early in the design stage throughout the construction phase. Because the bridge’s structural system changed significantly as construction progressed, construction stage analysis was crucial. Cable forces, girder, and pylon displacements fluctuated with large variation during construction, and a newly erected cable and girder segment had to be installed using exact jacking force, at exact positions and angles.

Using RM Bridge for 4D modeling enabled the team to conduct initial force analysis, construction stage analysis, erection control, and wind dynamic analysis and design. The software also helped engineers forecast error trends and establish a timely error compensation strategy. RM Bridge enabled the engineers to optimize the technical design and to maximize time savings, potentially saving USD 1 million as a result.

Gemeente Tiel Land Management with the Help of Stereoscopic Aerial Images Tiel, Netherlands

2013 BE INSPIRED AWARDS

In the Netherlands, a municipality must maintain a large-scale topographic base map called the GBKN. With the formation of a national standard, the GBKN will be merged and transformed into a large-scale topography called the BGT. To maintain this base map (GBKN now, and BGT in the future), Gemeente Tiel adopted MicroStation, the platform of choice among more than half of all municipalities in the Netherlands.

98

Gemeente Tiel uses stereoscopic aerial images to maintain and update the GBKN using Imagem’s PRO600 software. Using stereo imagery, PRO600 provides tools for 3D stereo photogrammetric feature collecting and terrain processing.

Previously only available on MicroStation, PRO600 was migrated for use on Bentley Map. In this way, the municipality not only receives geometric data, but also creates objects and gives them the attributes specified by the BGT.

INNOVATION IN LAND DEVELOPMENT, ENGINEERING, AND MANAGEMENT Mericon Oy Länsisatama Sea Pier Extension Dredging Project Helsinki, Finland Mericon Oy produced terrain models of the sea bottom utilizing two-frequency sounding and information modeling and analysis for the Länsisatama sea pier extension dredging project in Helsinki, Finland. The EUR 1 million project was undertaken for the owner, Port of Helsinki, in cooperation with Ramboll Finland Oy (design) and Terramare Oy Boskalis (dredging). Combining sounding methods with 3D modeling was a unique approach that can be applied to other underwater projects.

The data acquired from the soundings were fed into MicroStation and PowerCivil for Finland to create two terrain models: the sea bottom at the time of the sounding and the seabed with clay removed. By comparing the two terrain models, Mericon Oy assessed the cubic volume of the clay more accurately and facilitated more effective dredging plans.

INNOVATION IN WATER, WASTEWATER, AND STORMWATER NETWORK MODELING AND ANALYSIS Toowoomba Regional Council Comparison of Gravity and Pressure Sewer System Options Crows Nest, Queensland, Australia The condition of sewerage assets in the Toowoomba region of Queensland, Australia, ranged from underperforming trickling filter treatment plants to a state-of-the-art activated sludge treatment plant. One regional common effluent drainage system operated by Toowoomba Regional Council had a history of poor effluent quality and wet-weather overflows. This AUD 15 million project investigated sewerage options for the township.

Through the use of SewerGEMS, the council realized that pressure sewer systems did not represent the best value for money – in this case, because of the population densities, topographic constraints, and the presence of existing infrastructure. So for Crows Nest, a conventional gravity system was the preferred option, which could cost as much as AUD 2 million less in terms of capital costs than a pressure sewer system.

Barwon Region Water Corporation Advance Sewerage Model Building and Updating Geelong, Victoria, Australia Barwon Region Water Corporation (Barwon Water) is Victoria, Australia’s largest regional urban water corporation, providing water, sewerage, and recycled water to an area of 8,100 square kilometers, which includes a 5,800-kilometer network of pipes. Barwon Water’s sewer system is approaching its capacity, so the goal of this AUD 620,000 project was to build seven models of the Geelong sewerage system.

Given the size of Barwon Water’s sewerage system and SewerGEMS capability, partner GHD proposed to build a single model (instead of seven) that contains every pipe in the system. Since Barwon Water’s GIS has sewer pipe and property connectivity, and water consumption data at every property, the SewerGEMS model-building process was automated, which yielded a cost savings of AUD 480,000 less than originally estimated.

INNOVATION IN WATER, WASTEWATER, AND STORMWATER NETWORK MODELING AND ANALYSIS CIDCO of Maharashtra Design of Water Supply Network for Ulwe Node Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) of Maharashtra, India, had created a water supply distribution network plan for Ulwe, a node in Navi Mumbai, before an airport and other infrastructure were earmarked for the area. CIDCO decided to undertake the distribution plan revision in the water supply design by dividing the entire Ulwe node into two phases: the first phase already laid and the second to be developed.

CIDCO treated the second-phase development areas with independent tapping from the transmission line from Hetawane Dam, which runs toward one side of Ulwe node. Using WaterGEMS, the firm produced four different design outputs and selected the option that provided the optimal design (that is, the least costly design) that met the pressure requirements.

CIDCO of Maharashtra Sewer Network for Ulwe Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

2013 BE INSPIRED AWARDS

The technical challenge of this INR 10 million project for the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) of Maharashtra, India, was to design a sewer network in which the sewerage flowed by gravity with sewer-line depths that would reduce the number of sewerage pump houses required. This could be achieved by having two sites for the sewerage treatment plants, which would reduce the flow distance.

216

Using SewerCAD, CIDCO discovered that it needed only one sewerage pump house, with the sewerage flowing entirely by gravity to the one sewerage pump house, and only then being pumped into the sewerage treatment plant.

This eliminated the need to pump sewerage from one sewerage pump house to another, saving on recurring electricity and operational costs, not to mention the savings achieved by not building the originally planned additional sewerage pump house.
