Operational Impact
The use of Bentley applications allowed Hatch to deliver a high-quality design to their client ahead of schedule. The software’s advanced CAD capabilities enabled them to employ one full-time and two part-time team members, reducing staff hours significantly. The 3D models were used for technical peer and constructability review workshops, ensuring that all issued for tender submissions were delivered to the client a week in advance. The project was paperless due to the use of ProjectWise’s connected data environment for sharing all documents and information, which saved significant costs. ProjectWise’s collaborative environment also ensured connectivity across time zones, improving team efficiencies and enabling Hatch to complete the detailed design on time and within budget. The new outfall is a critical element of the city’s improvements to the plant’s hydraulic capacity, and it is anticipated that the ABTPO project will help improve the city’s shoreline and beaches, as well as Lake Ontario’s water quality. | |
