Best Practices – Campuses Enterprisewide System Manages International Airport Sydney Airport’s terminal upgrade and expansion part of 20-year master plan for infrastructure improvements early 50 percent of Australia’s airline passengers travel through the Sydney Airport, which is projected to handle 20 million international travelers annually by 2024. That is double the number in 2004 when the Australian Government approved a 20-year master plan to upgrade and expand the airport infrastructure. Opened in the 1920s and privatized in 2002, the Sydney Airport serves 43 airlines and connects to 50 international, 23 domestic, and 28 regional destinations. In 2006 and 2007 Sydney Airport Corporation Limited (SACL) ran diversiﬁed businesses that served a total of 31 million passengers and moved 634,000 tons of freight. To manage the information and assets associated with this mammoth enterprise, SACL needed an integrated system that would encompass buildings and terminals, runways and tarmacs, leased properties, and utilities. The new enterprise engineering document management system enables 450 administrative, engineering, and construction professionals to track work requests, search for and retrieve project data, and reuse design information in a controlled environment. The self-service system not only relieves the Airport Design Services (ADS) department—which managed the ProjectWise implementation in addition to its daily responsibilities for infrastructure asset management—from the burden of responding to information requests, but also provides an efﬁcient, reliable, and scalable resource for master planning decision support. A six-member system design team worked directly with Bentley to identify what legacy information should be brought into the integrated Bentley technology-based system. With improved access to historic information, airport authorities will be ensured that planned infrastructure improvements support the long-term mission to meet Australia’s future air transport needs while being sensitive to environmental and social impacts on the surrounding community. SACL has already made signiﬁcant progress on master plan initiatives to expand capacity while improving safety. In addition N BE AWARD NOMINEE Enterprise Engineering Document Management Project Organization: Sydney Airport Corporation Limited Category: Innovation in Military Installations, Campuses, and Airports to the AUD$500 million international terminal upgrade and expansion now underway, the airport has completed AUD$40 million in improvements to the domestic terminal and opened a AUD$65 million car park to provide 3,000 covered spaces. A new AUD$90 million baggage-handling system improves passenger safety and security by providing 100 percent checked-bag screening and ﬁve of six runway end safety areas have been extended to meet new minimum length requirements. Current projects at the international terminal include adding 7,300 square meters to the departures level, with centralized processing, expanded waiting areas, and new shops and food-and-drink outlets scheduled for completion in 2009. New outbound baggage handling, checked baggage storage, and baggage claim carousels will cater to the increasing numbers of passengers. Taxiway improvements will accommodate the new generation of wider, more fuel- efﬁcient aircraft. Used to manage engineering design workﬂow and document access, the engineering information system will save staff time spent providing basic information to airport staff and stakeholders while enabling ADS to fulﬁll current and future work requests more efﬁciently. “We will be able to focus on providing quality information for master planning, resulting in better analysis for management while providing a self-service environment for the enterprise,” ADS Manager Keith Pope explained. “Being able to use GIS, engineering document management, and speciﬁc software tools such as water, wastewater, and sewer for asset management, modeling, and analysis in an integrated environment will provide signiﬁcant efﬁciencies and cost savings. We can implement the solution at our own pace and target the key areas that need improvement ﬁrst.” In 2009, the Sydney Airport is updating the existing master plan to reﬂect a vision for sustainable operation and development through 2029. Future improvements will not only beneﬁt the airline passengers it serves, but also the national economy it supports.
