Using digital twins to drive smarter delivery of a complex landmark

BIM creates the digital twin foundation for the Tower C project, providing a unified representation of design, construction, and operations data while resolving conflicts between multidisciplinary systems.

Proprietary intelligent model-review and scheduling algorithms shift management from experience-driven processes to data-driven decision-making. This approach reshapes the delivery of a complex landmark, supports lean construction and low-carbon operations, and demonstrates how digitally enabled construction can define the vertical cities of the future.
