The Year in Infrastructure 2008 - (Page 74) InnovatIon In MIlItary InstallatIons, CaMpuses, and aIrports U.S. Army Garrison Bamberg ProjectWise and XM V8 Deployment at the U.S. Army Garrison Bamberg Bamberg, Germany the u.S. Army garrison in Bamberg, germany, consists of approximately 6 million square feet of combined housing, industrial, and office space; 3,300 acres of land and supporting infrastructure; 20 miles of roadway; and an airfield, railroad, golf course, and forestland that supports a community of approximately 10,000. The project goal was to create an accessible, expandable, and stable document file system to support the work processes of the Directorate of Public Works. This file system establishes a common platform to access drawing and project-related information through an intuitive graphical user interface. ProjectWise, MicroStation, and Bentley Geospatial Server were used to create the new file structure. The system’s geo-referencing search capabilities gives users immediate access to drawings, which involves the workforce more actively in the engineering process.

The tight design schedule meant that several projects had to be designed and coordinated simultaneously. MicroStation’s file-referencing capabilities enabled civil engineers to work concurrently on different areas of the site. The design team created a digital terrain model (DTM) of the finished grade for each area of responsibility. The DTMs were then used to display finished grade contours, create utility profiles, and accurately calculate earthwork quantities. Because drawing files could be shared among several projects, the need to create several versions of a drawing file was eliminated and changes in one project were created across several other projects. 2008 bE AwARdS oF ExCEllENCE ALSO NOMINATED IN SpEcIAL cATEgOry: SuSTAININg Our SOcIETy SpEc EcIAL cATE Su c cIET 74
