Building Information Modeling

Thornton Tomasetti is an industry leader in the implementation of BIM tools and the use of innovative project delivery methods. Years of routinely applying 3D integrated modeling have enabled us to customize processes and refine systems to optimize, automate and share models efficiently with clients, design team partners and contractors. Our in-house team of engineers and modelers works directly with software manufacturers to improve software packages. To streamline the modeling process, we have developed proprietary scripts and routines to fill interoperability gaps. Thornton Tomasetti’s strength in BIM lies in its many years of experience on many types of projects which translates into an improved design, more efficient work flow and better delivery process.

Thornton Tomasetti has been applying 3D integrated modeling methods for more than 15 years. Three projects were honored with 2014 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Technology in Architecture (TAP) Building Information Modeling (BIM) Awards, including Northwestern Medicine Outpatient Care Pavilion, which was awarded in the “Delivery Process Innovation” category. Two additional projects were recognized for “Stellar Architecture Using Steel” and “Delivery Process Innovation.”

Master Modeler and BIM Assistance

If requested, Thornton Tomasetti can lead the BIM implementation on a project, taking on the role of “Master Modeler” and integrating BIMs from all disciplines. In addition, we provide training and full-time assistance to those on the design team that have not been through a BIM project. We have BIM standards that can be shared with the design team and edited per project, template BIM forms to speed implementation, standard BIM processes and experience in setting up live shared models across different geographic locations. Our skills can help all design team members achieve the most benefits from the use of BIM.

Benefits of BIM

The benefits of BIM include improved drafting efficiency, production drawing quality, design team coordination, visualization, client communications, interoperability and design flexibility. These benefits translate into superior drawings, decreased production time and reduced costs to the owner. Downstream benefits include less schedule risk and reduced field problems.

Better Efficiency and Quality

Two-dimensional paper drawings are not eliminated in a BIM process. BIM is leveraged to automatically generate accurate construction documents cut from the BIM model, which eliminates much of the tedious 2D drafting process, and reduces human error. Sections may be linked to automatically update, not only saving time but also ensuring accuracy within a set of drawings. The use of BIM greatly improves design quality and drafting efficiency.

Improved Coordination

BIM facilitates real time coordination among disciplines and enables the design team to communicate more efficiently with the owner. Streamlined coordination and the use of clash detection during the design process equate to fewer field problems and help to keep costs within budget.

Building Information Modeling

Superior Visualization and Communication

We are able take advantage of BIM to create 3D images and renderings, which are inherently more understandable than 2D drawings, to facilitate the clear communication of design issues. Also, animations and fly-throughs can be created quickly and frequently with the model and using our in-house “render farm” to explain complex concepts. Simple to use “web viewer” versions of BIM models can be created to allow those not trained in BIM to easily fly through the models and examine progress.

Increased Flexibility

BIM offers a more robust set of tools and methods to modify designs. Parametrics can generate numerous studies very quickly. Parametrics also allows us to accurately and easily manage last-minute design changes because they are automatically and effortlessly updated throughout project documents.

Interoperability and Automation

Thornton Tomasetti understands the current state of the industry and the lack of true intelligent interoperability. Due to the shortcomings of the IFC and CIS/2 formats, Thornton Tomasetti has grown an advanced automation division to write our own custom in-house translators and interoperability scripts, as needed, to assist the design team by creating a more efficient work flow for all.

Thornton Tomasetti writes customized in-house translators and interoperability scripts using application programming interface (API) to share intelligent BIM information with other software programs. This includes back and forth between Revit, Tekla, Autocad, Catia, SAP, ETABS, Rhino, and numerous other applications. Thornton Tomasetti’s automation staff can quickly write customized translators for job-specific problems and increase speed and production for a given process. Customized translators save the design team considerable time and alleviate many problems caused by the lack of an industry standard BIM format.

Software

Thornton Tomasetti has the most up-to-date BIM equipment with all building information modelers using Dell PC workstations with dual monitors. Our typical setup for a CAD workstation is dual quad core processors with 12GB of ram and high-speed SCSI hard drives. Approximately 200 operators have in-depth knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation, CATIA, etc. Revit Structure serves as our primary BIM production software. We are also industry-leading users of Revit Structure and have beta-tested many versions of Revit for Autodesk. Other BIM/CAD software used includes Microstation, Digital Project (CATIA), Tekla Structures, 3ds Max, Grasshopper and Rhino. Thornton Tomasetti has created a system that is integrated with all of our various analysis and design programs. This allows for fast turnaround time, overall accuracy and drawing quality impossible to achieve without BIM.

Terminal One is the first new terminal complex in 25 years. Terminal One Group Association (TOGA), a consortium of four airlines: Air France, Lufthansa, Japan Airlines, and Korean Airlines wished to introduce international innovations in airport terminal design to America. To meet the client’s major objective of designing a world-class, state-of-the-art facility, the design team created innovative layout and structural geometry that also provided a maximum amount of aircraft gate positions on a tight sight and a fast-track schedule.

The two-level main terminal is trapezoidal in plan, with the 565-foot-long north side (landside) straight and the 750-foot-long south side (airside) bending in the gradual arc. The facility has two concourses - a three-gate west concourse that runs longitudinally against the curved south side and a finger-like south concourse that juts 679 feet into the apron. The roof is framed by twenty-six, 140-foot-long steel box girders in the shape of continuous leaping radial arches with tie rods stretching between arch ends.

Adding to the challenges of the project’s structural design was the requirement to design to the newly adopted seismic code for New York City. By integrating bracing into the lower, arrival level, the cost of the facility was greatly reduced. Similar savings were achieved in the detailing of the arch box girders, which had a pi-shaped cross section instead of a flush box shape, allowing fabrication with fillet weld instead of penetration welds, resulting in great cost economies.

The Carrasco International Airport in Uruguay, the largest airport in the country, is expected to serve up to 2.8 million passengers by 2010. The new 344,000-square-foot, three-story terminal is a dramatic and welcoming space for the passengers and visitors. The terminal aims to modernize and expand the passenger and cargo handling capacity of the existing facilities to promote tourism and commercial growth in the surrounding region.

Thornton Tomasetti was responsible for the structural design of the terminal’s 1,000-foot-long curved steel roof structure. The curved roof maintains a low profile on the landscape, helping its structure integrate into the surrounding. The unique roof extends beyond the building on all four sides. The curved roof has an irregular plan profile with the width varying from 415 feet to 165 feet. In addition, the steel-truss roof has an irregular vertical profile with its two ends supported on grade and the height of the roof varies from 85 feet to 120 feet. The cantilevered roof facilitates the strategic use of daylighting for the terminal building by creating shading for the interior space.

The 60-foot-high fully glazed curtain wall system extending from the base to the roof wraps around the terminal building, creating transparency. In response to the challenge of providing draining for the large roof area, two gutters, one at each cantilevered edge, was provided for the entire length of the roof to capture rainwater run-off for the huge roof area.

Thornton Tomasetti provided structural design services for a new 40-gate airport terminal, which is constructed near an existing airport that was built in 1970.

The main terminal roof is supported on column “trees” constructed from four pipe column sections that splay in four directions as they reach the roof trusses. These trees, spaced 120 feet to150 feet apart, leave a vast open space to accommodate the ticketing area. A circular, glass skylight covers the spacious Civic Plaza on the ticketing level. The top and bottom chords of the roof trusses are segmented to match the surface of the roof, which curves in two directions. Two concourse arms extend from the terminal and lead to the departure gates.

Offices and mechanical levels are located above the departure level. A mezzanine slab between the arrival and departure levels supports the baggage screening system. The basement level supports the baggage handling conveyors to and from the arrival level.

The renovated Terminal 2 serves as the new home for San Francisco-based American Airlines and Virgin America. One of the first LEED Gold terminals in the United States, the 600,000-square-foot-plus modernization sets a new standard for travel. Simon & Associates, acquired by Thornton Tomasetti in December 2012, was the LEED consultant on the project.

The project includes skylights and clerestories that bring daylight into the lobby and retail areas, significantly reducing electric lighting requirements during the day. An innovative displacement ventilation system uses filtered air to improve indoor air quality and reduces energy consumption by 20 percent. Sustainable building materials include terrazzo flooring with recycled glass chips and recycled-content carpet. The innovative and efficient use of structural steel led to a reduction in materials and allowed more than 90 percent of construction waste to be successfully recycled. The selected plumbing fixtures reduce potable water usage by 40 percent, and innovative "hydration stations" allow passengers to refill water bottles, reducing both waste generation and the carbon footprint. The project includes a rainwater harvesting system that meets 100 percent of irrigation needs.

Originally constructed in 1954, the improved Terminal 2 surpasses the City and County of San Francisco’s sustainability goals for the renovation.

FedEx Corporation handles more than four million tons of cargo each year through Memphis International Airport. Thornton Tomasetti provided structural engineering services for a new mega hangar and multiple support buildings to accommodate the growing volume.

The FedEx Hangar Facility is the first of its kind in North America, and is designed as a base maintenance center for the world’s largest commercial aircraft. The project consists of several components including a parts warehouse; new shop space and offices; a security building; a ground service equipment maintenance building; and an aircraft maintenance hangar.

The 152,000-square-foot hangar is the most prominent structure within the facility. With a 400-foot-long main span, a 330-foot building depth, and an overall height of 150 feet with 100-foot clear-height, the hangar supports simultaneous maintenance for multiple wide-body and narrow-body aircraft.

A one-way roof-framing system was utilized to minimize primary truss member connection demands and simplify the fabrication and erection process of the structural steel. The main roof steel framing is designed to support numerous suspended overhead crane hoists and telescopic platforms, which are hung directly from the 400-foot-span roof trusses.

The project site is close to the New Madrid Fault zone, which required the structures to be designed and detailed to accommodate all requirements for Seismic Design Category D in accordance with the International Building Code, 2003 Edition. The project demanded structural continuity and ductility at the interface of the special concentrically braced frames and the deep foundation system. This was critical to ensure a robust overall structural system because of poor soil conditions that exist in the Memphis region. Concrete special moment frame foundations were utilized to ensure a ductile response to meet code prescribed seismic loading demands.

The 64,000-square-foot Greenside Hangar Complex consists of a Type II hangar space housing HMX-1 “Nighthawk” helicopters; an adjacent multi-story maintenance shop; and administrative, medical, storage and support areas. The design-build facility, which was designed to meet LEED Silver requirements, is composed of a structural steel frame, with a main span of more than 190 feet.

Thornton Tomasetti provided structural design services and construction support services for the multi-use military complex. In addition to engineer-of-record services, the project scope included the design of all connections, development of an integrated Tekla model, and production of steel shop drawings.

The design team overcame many challenges throughout the project. Poor soil conditions necessitated the use of Controlled Modulus Columns, which provided sufficient soil enhancement to support the structure on shallow foundations. During construction, the team was asked to revise the roof design and detailing to accommodate photovoltaic panels affixed over half the roof area. By working with Tekla, Thornton Tomasetti was able to include the modifications and issue updated steel shop drawings within one week of redesign approval. The combination of innovative construction support services, BIM capabilities and structural design enabled Thornton Tomasetti to facilitate efficient communication between the design and construction teams.

Award Honorable Mention Award, American Concrete Institute, 1998

The International Air Cargo Center (IACC) at Newark Liberty International Airport is designed with built-in flexibility to offer the type of warehouse and office space required to meet each individual carrier’s handling system and service standards. Building One is a 191,000-square-foot structure that includes 164,000 square feet of general warehouse area, 27,000 square feet of related office space and an elevated transport vehicular (ETV) material handling system. Building Two is composed of a 78,500-square-foot multitenant warehouse space with a 16,000-square-foot mezzanine office space. The IACC complex was planned and constructed using a design-build delivery method as a Class-A structure providing a 50-year service life. Consequently, the materials used will endure the rigors of prolonged use while providing initial and life-cycle economies. Thornton Tomasetti was retained to provide complete architectural and engineering services. Scope included site work encompassing 24 acres.

The cargo bay features a 6.5-inch-thick unreinforced concrete slab on grade and ground floor slabs that were placed using an alternating strip-cast method with “sof” sawed cut control joints. All concrete used for foundation pile caps, grade beams and slabs have a minimum compressive strength of 4,000 psi.

The building’s exterior is constructed with precast post-tensioned concrete wall panels providing two distinct designs – an understated horizontal banding for the air and land sides of the cargo house and an ornamental, modulated façade design for the office portions. The exterior wall design also provides the required vehicular impact criteria for the cargo house. The selection of the panelized concrete exterior wall was a critical factor in maintaining durability and flexibility as well as minimizing the construction schedule for the fast-track project.
