New International Airport for Mexico City

BIM Project

Information obtained from the website www.esbim.es

Foster + Partners / FR-EE

Project Date:

To be delivered in 2016. Currently in progress.

Project summary:

Planned area: 555,000 m2 for the passenger terminal. 1.5 km long building.

In addition, Control Tower, Ground Transportation Center and auxiliary buildings.

BIM development level: in a basic project model, it will generally be LOD 200 and reach LOD 300 at the end of the construction project.

Client: GACM, Grupo Aeroportuario Ciudad de Mexico (Mexico City Airport Group), Ministry of Communications and Transportation. Government of Mexico.

Confidential project currently in the development stage of the Construction Project.

This is not a single model; it is the sum of many. In architecture, at the moment there are about 120 models divided by area and discipline; for the ceiling 130 models; and for luminaire and structure consultants 35 models.

Purpose of using BIM:

In this project, the ultimate objective of developing BIM is to:

-Create plans
-Engineering analysis
-Display
-Program spaces
-Design review
-Coordinate 3D (early detection of interferences)
-Calculate thermal loads

The majority of plans are being produced using BIM (5,000 plans).

The structural and facilities engineering firm is an international consulting firm based in New York, with local subconsultants in Mexico.

Coordination between the architect (FP-FREE) and the engineers is accomplished through weekly exchange of models and meaningful email communication, weekly meetings, biweekly workshops and videoconferences.

Success achieved:

All disciplines use BIM methodology; also Structures, Facilities and the entire baggage handling system.

All generate models that we integrate into a single federated model.

In terms of architectural design, given the uniqueness of the project, many platforms are used, which are then integrated into a BIM architectural model.

The use of BIM is becoming essential as a tool for coordination between disciplines, and as a tool for documentation, since most of the plan production is done using BIM.

Information management (family management, individual room records, etc.) would not have been possible without BIM tools, given their size and complexity.

It was necessary to develop specific tools to handle the size and complex geometry.

We are working directly with Autodesk to develop more in-depth programs such as Revit or Dynamo to handle this project.
