BIM, Structural Design & Shop Drawings (King Khaled Airport)

BIM Modeling

Developed a federated BIM model covering architectural, structural, and MEP systems.

Used shared coordinates and defined project levels for all terminals and concourses.

Implemented LOD 300–400 for construction documentation.

Conducted regular clash detection and coordination through Navisworks and BIM 360.

Structural Design

Structural framework designed using advanced analysis tools (e.g., ETABS, SAFE, STAAD).

Focused on large-span roof trusses, columns, and foundations suited for airport loading conditions.

Applied seismic and wind design criteria per international codes (ACI, BS, or Saudi Building Code).

Integrated design results into the BIM environment for coordination and detailing.

Shop Drawings

Extracted precise 2D shop drawings directly from the coordinated BIM model.

Included detailed reinforcement schedules, connection details, and section views.

Conducted multi-discipline review (architecture, structure, MEP) before submission.

Managed document control, revision tracking, and approvals through a Common Data Environment (CDE).

Outcome

Enhanced accuracy and coordination across all disciplines.

Reduced rework and improved construction efficiency.

Delivered high-quality, as-built BIM data for facility management.
