Challenge	Indonesia, like many countries, faced a surge in COVID-19 cases that exceeded the capacity of existing healthcare facilities. To address this, the Indonesian government initiated plans to construct 14 new hospitals. PT. Wijaya Karya (WIKA) was tasked with building one of these hospitals on a 22,700-square-meter former soccer field in South Jakarta. The USD 4 million hospital was to be a one-story building with a capacity of 300 beds, 35 intensive care unit rooms, and 10 emergency rooms. The hospital was to be equipped with a negative pressure isolation system to prevent the spread of the virus, a robotic nurse, and an integrated command center to connect it to 65 other hospitals. The government required WIKA to complete the design and construction of the hospital and have it fully operational in less than a month. The project also needed to be cost-effective and environmentally sustainable. WIKA faced the challenge of meeting these requirements on an incredibly tight timeline, compounded by social distancing requirements. Read More
About Customer	PT. Wijaya Karya (WIKA) is a state-owned enterprise in Indonesia that operates in the construction industry. The company is involved in various construction projects, including infrastructure, building, and industrial plant projects. WIKA is known for its innovative approach to construction, including the use of modular construction methods and digital technologies. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, WIKA was tasked by the Indonesian government to construct a state-of-the-art healthcare facility in South Jakarta. The company was required to complete the design and construction of the hospital and have it fully operational in less than a month, a challenge that required innovative solutions and efficient project management.

Solution	WIKA integrated their modular construction standards with digital BIM application to meet the project's requirements. They established a connected data environment using ProjectWise and adopted Bentley’s reality modeling and BIM methodology to carry out their modular approach. They used a quadcopter drone and ContextCapture to capture and process images of the project site, creating a reality model of the topographic area. With OpenBuildings Designer, they generated a model of the entire hospital building, including structural, architectural, and MEP elements. They also incorporated landscape and roadway design with OpenRoads. To optimize the design of the indoor airflow system, WIKA used Hevacomp1 to perform airflow analysis and simulation within the building model. They integrated the 3D models with the construction schedule and costs using SYNCHRO 4D while using LumenRT for visual animation. This integrated digital modeling solution allowed design and construction to occur simultaneously, identifying and resolving design clashes, and making virtual changes to avoid errors and costly rework on site.

Solution

WIKA integrated their modular construction standards with digital BIM application to meet the project's requirements. They established a connected data environment using ProjectWise and adopted Bentley’s reality modeling and BIM methodology to carry out their modular approach. They used a quadcopter drone and ContextCapture to capture and process images of the project site, creating a reality model of the topographic area.

They integrated the 3D models with the construction schedule and costs using SYNCHRO 4D while using LumenRT for visual animation. This integrated digital modeling solution allowed design and construction to occur simultaneously, identifying and resolving design clashes, and making virtual changes to avoid errors and costly rework on site.

Impact #1	The use of Bentley’s BIM technology and a connected data environment enabled WIKA to streamline workflows and increase productivity, keeping the tight project schedule on track while adhering to social distancing guidelines. The integrated digital modeling solution facilitated survey, design, simulation, and visualization, allowing design and construction to occur simultaneously. This approach helped identify and resolve design clashes, and enabled virtual changes to avoid errors and costly rework on site. The use of Bentley’s interoperable applications also enabled immediate access to real-time data and 3D models without needing to be in the same room, which was crucial during the global pandemic. The project has set a benchmark for future developments within the industry, with WIKA planning to expand BIM application and develop a digital twin for lifecycle management of the modular facility.

Benefit #1	Completed 95 design revisions and resolved 62 clashes in three days to deliver the modular design in only 10 days, saving USD 400,000.
Benefit #2	Used SYNCHRO 4D to perform construction simulation and manage the construction process, which reduced construction time by four days to complete construction within 16 days, 20% faster than targeted.
Benefit #3	Improved cost efficiency by 18% while optimizing quality.
