A key construction project aligned with China’s construction, energy, and development strategy, this Guangdong petroleum wharf project includes a 300,000-ton, 440-meter-long crude oil berth that features a 1.3-kilometer-long landing approach bridge. CCCC Water Transportation Consultants was retained to provide technical support and digital deliverables for the complicated pipeline system and faced technical, engineering, and coordination challenges, compounded by a tight construction timeline. Having previously used outdated, traditional design technology and ineffective communication methods, they sought integrated BIM applications to meet project deliverables.
CCCC selected MicroStation and Bentley’s open modeling software, as well as ProjectWise to collaborate on the platform design. The digital solution improved overall design quality and facilitated simulation of design intent, optimizing construction processes. The connected data environment streamlined workflows to achieve a 35% improvement in communication, a 30% increase in design efficiency, and a 60% reduction in issues related to design quality.
