Blackhawk Estates of Alabaster insite engineering, LLc
FINALIST
Black hawk Estates of Alabaster is a 664-lot residential subdivision on 488 acres currently under construction in Alabaster,
Alabama. At a cost in excess of $12 million, it will be the
largest subdivision ever developed in this city of approximately
25,000 residents.
Bentley PowerCivil, MicroStation, MicroStation PowerDraft,
and InRoads positively impacted almost every phase of the
design process, from overall site grading to individual lot drainage to sanitary sewer layout and design. InSite Engineering
estimates that its productivity increased by more than 30
percent and the total project cost was reduced by approximately $150,000 as a result of the efficiencies of the software.
Based on the estimated savings, the firm experienced roughly
an 800 percent ROI for this project alone.
New Bangalore International Airport L&t-ramboll consulting engineers Ltd
FINALIST
Bangalore International Airport is the first greenfield airport
developed in India. The project, which was conceived by
the government of India in response to growing congestion
at existing airport facilities, is located at Devanahalli, about
40 kilometers north of Bangalore city. Expected capacity
of the new facility is 27 aircraft per hour and 11. 5 million
passengers per year. Estimated engineering, procurement,
and construction cost for this phase of the development is
$288 million.
L&T-Ramboll used Bentley products, including MX solutions and
STAAD.Pro, for rapid design and evaluation and to organize
data; streamline and minimize conflicting designs; enable rapid
exchange of information between designers, disciplines, and
work sites; and accommodate changing requirements. Designers worked independently on components of the master plan
and produced a final integrated design. L&T-Ramboll saved
almost 40 percent on software costs by using the Bentley
SELECT subscription program.
