The projects in this category demonstrate excellence in planning, engineering, analysis, design, and management of site projects for buildings, plants, environmental, commercial, or governmental campuses. Managing a facility’s spaces, assets, and occupancy requires information created in many systems by many people over time. A digital asset facilitates design collaboration, supports construction delivery, and leverages facility information for operations and maintenance.

Mortenson Construction
Spring Valley Wind Project
Ely, Nevada, United States Located on 7,600 acres of land managed by the Bureau of Land Management near Ely, Nev., the Spring Valley Wind Farm’s 66 turbines will generate 152 megawatts of wind power. Mortenson Construction modeled each stage of construction to optimize the layout of turbine parts and equipment. Reducing the project footprint minimized the cultural, historical, and biological impact. Using MicroStation, InRoads, Bentley Map, and Bentley View, Mortenson reduced each turbine site by nearly 40 percent. |

Taxiways at Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport
Rzeszow, Poland Rapid growth of passenger traffic at Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport in southeastern Poland prompted investment in infrastructure improvements. The USD 30 million design-build project included a 3,000-meter-long parallel taxiway; 375- and 400-meter rapid-exit taxiways; 182.5-, 205-, and 510-meter perpendicular taxiways; and a 4,600-square-meter apron extension. The new taxiways nearly tripled the airport’s capacity, enabling a single runway to handle up to 16 planes per hour. MicroStation PowerDraft, InRoads, and Bentley View were used to create the digital terrain model, develop geometry, model alternative alignments, model tricky intersections, and check constructability. |
