Using MicroStation® provided the comprehensive 3D modelling environment, georeferencing capabilities and clash analysis features to accommodate the large files and ensure that the BIM models replicated the real-world environment. To establish a 3D collaborative data infrastructure, CHAIN leveraged the power of Bentley BIM and reality modelling technology. Interoperability establishes collaborative framework Such a complicated data management platform required technology that was capable of programming large-sized BIM objects and 3D reality meshes within a cloud-based platform and establishing digital workflows, components and context to drive the smart city initiative. The project presents massive amounts of 2D object data and 3D geospatial data in varying formats, which have collected from IoT devices.ĬHAIN utilises HRP to visualise, simulate, analyse and manage the IoT data amid continued infrastructure development and ongoing construction of the park.

Specialising in big data analytics, Building Information Modelling (BIM) processes and hybrid reality modelling, CHAIN Technology Development, one of the incubatees of HKSTP’s LEAP programme, was retained to provide the digital twin solution, which the organisation called the Hybrid Reality Platform (HRP), for the HKSP. “We aim to collect valuable data to enable future innovation and leverage artificial intelligence (AI), big data management and Internet of Things (IoT) to create a smart campus,” Simon Wong, chief project development officer at HKSTP, said. It is positioned to be a smart campus that is used by forward-looking smart city initiatives as a test bed and a living lab. The technology clusters contribute to devising innovative solutions for a smart city. The HKSP, a campus hosting 350 technology companies located along the Tolo Harbor waterfront, houses 21 state-of-the-art buildings covering 3.5m sq ft and still expanding.
