The Highways Department, Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, is building a 50-kilometer bridge linking Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao. Crossing a series of bridges and tunnels, vehicles will enter/leave Hong Kong through boundary crossing facilities on a 130-hectare reclaimed island. The Leighton-Chun Wo Joint Venture is responsible for construction of the USD 4.6 billion 40,000-square-meter passenger clearance building and associated works.

 

The team made Bentley's BIM technology the common platform to facilitate communications, and to anticipate and rectify construction problems. Solving clashes before construction saved about 12 percent of the construction budget. The survey team compared 3D design models to point cloud models to avoid discrepancies on-site, then continuously updated the design model to create accurate as-built models, saving 15 percent of the survey budget.
