Building a Digital Twin of the Pearson Airport

In the proposed project, the GTAA will work with GBC faculty, students and graduates with the knowledge of the latest BIM technology tools and processes to help with the implementation of the innovative technological solutions in the Architectural and Engineering Data department. The interns will help the GTAA to create 3-dimensional Building Information Models (BIM) of Terminal 1 and 3 interiors, including collection and input of asset data, as well as models of MEP services and civil services in various areas of the airport. This will ultimately support the creation and utilization of the Digital Twins of the airport facilities, which will be used to enhance communication and collaboration, maximize efficiency, and minimize cost of construction and operations on the airport and thus support GTAA’s extensive capital improvement plan to provide world-class airport passenger and partner experience and slowly recover from the pandemic.
