The world’s third-busiest airport needed to grow fast. But the massive expansion plan for Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) got off to a slow start. Consultants were working with out-of-sync information and wasting time with collaboration delays as they shared information across disciplines and distributed teams. For the project to succeed, DFW needed effective collaboration and information exchange throughout the project team. 

To solve the problem, DFW moved to a managed environment for its AEC IT, built on the Bentley ProjectWise collaboration server. Bringing more than 85 AEC consultants and contractors together, including firms as distant as Europe and Australia, empowered DFW to achieve success on this five-year, $2.7 billion project.
