Day 3 - 22 March
Session: Facilities Maintenance & Management

12:25 - 12:55 - Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4 baggage handling system project execution
Synopsis: Terminal 4 BHS was a fast-track greenfield project where the installation comprised four main phases, depending on building availability. BIM was used extensively during the detailed design phase to identify and resolve clashes between BHS and building, minimising potential installation delays. After installation completion, the BHS was put through rigorous testings before commissioning for the ORAT to prepare for the opening of T4 in October 2017. This presentation will give the audience an insight into the challenges faced during the different phases of the project implementation, from detailed design phase to ORAT, before transitioning into operations and maintenance after T4 opens.

Audience will learn:

• Overview of the design of Terminal 4 baggage handling system
• Rationale behind the fast-track phasing plans and construction of the new BHS system
• Challenges faced during the different phases of design development from conceptual design in different phases
• Implementing BHS installation in a non-operational environment and using building information modelling (BIM) to mitigate/solve risk/complex coordination issues
• Transitioning from project to operations and maintenance
