Use Cases	Construction Management Construction Site Monitoring
Challenge	ASGC, a leading construction services and manufacturing facilities provider, was tasked with constructing the Coca-Cola Arena, a state-of-the-art multipurpose arena in Dubai. The arena, spanning half a million square feet with a capacity of 20,000 people, was to be the only all-purpose indoor and air-conditioned arena of its size in the region. The project required meticulous planning and scheduling to manage the many steps and workflows involved. The arena was designed to accommodate large-scale international music concerts, sporting events, and other entertainment events, and was to feature an advanced infrastructure, including four levels of seating and hospitality suites. The project also required the construction of an adaptable layout that could be changed depending on the scale of the event. The challenge was to manage the complex construction process efficiently, ensuring timely completion while maintaining high standards of quality and safety. Read More
About Customer	ASGC is a leading construction services and manufacturing facilities provider based in the United Arab Emirates. Established in 1989, the organization comprises several companies, each a market leader in its own sphere of expertise. ASGC is best known for delivering turnkey projects in the UAE and has been involved in landmark projects across diverse sectors, including residential, commercial, leisure, hospitality, healthcare, education, social infrastructure, and industrial. For the Coca-Cola Arena project, ASGC was tasked with providing 4D construction planning and scheduling, managing the complex workflows and steps involved in constructing the state-of-the-art multipurpose arena.

Solution	ASGC chose SYNCHRO Pro as the platform for preparing the 4D construction planning and scheduling. The software provided a comprehensive construction simulation and was used as a planning application for the project. The project team created a visual representation of the construction schedule, which facilitated communication among all project stakeholders. The representation also helped streamline decision-making during weekly, monthly, and quarterly meetings. ASGC generated reports of the site progress, comparing the actual vs. planned schedule and approved baseline. Before construction began, ASGC created a 3D BIM model of the project to visually detect clashes and review them alongside the schedule progress. The model provided construction simulations of scenarios and comparisons, which could be done before any work on the construction site. ASGC also used SYNCHRO Pro’s 4D construction planning and scheduling during construction to improve communication and performance. Read More Log in to view content

Impact #1	The use of SYNCHRO Pro significantly improved the efficiency of the construction process. The software facilitated better communication among the project stakeholders, enabling instantaneous and continuous feedback, which resulted in performance improvement. The 3D BIM model allowed the team to detect clashes early, saving time and cost. The model also provided construction simulations of scenarios and comparisons before any work on the construction site, enabling better planning and control of materials and site logistics. The safety plan analyses and simulations ensured that the site met all standards by the local official legislation and conditions. The project was completed in the last quarter of 2018, and the venue opened in June 2019, hosting many internationally renowned events.
