Construction Period 2008 - 2015
The project is part of the extension works of the Galeão – International
Airport Tom Jobim airport complex, which has the largest runway in Brazil.
One of the main aims of this project is to meet passenger demand for the
Olympic Games in Rio in 2016.
The new South Pier is formed of three areas and four storeys. The pre-
fabricated columns have consoles to support the beams, some of them
post-tensioned. The beams have a side flap to support the hollow core
slabs that are topped with structural concrete. Therefore it is a structure
constructed in phases.
The use of Allplan was fundamental to enabling deadlines to be met and
a good quality result to be achieved. The effective generation of layouts
brought about a 100% increase in productivity, optimising the team’s work.
This tool allowed the representation of pre-fabricated elements to be
customized, guaranteeing standardization of drawings and lay outs.
The biggest challenge was the many architectural alterations made
throughout the project and the consequent iterations. The model
also allowed for assembly to be planned and interaction with many
prefabricated structures made by sub-contractors to be studied. The
adoption of solutions like
SCIA Engineer
and
Allplan Engineering
raised
the standard of production to a new level of competitiveness and quality.
