Digital twin: Vienna’s airport begins major transformation!
Vienna is planning the digital transformation of its airport with a new terminal and the use of digital twins for sustainable construction projects.
Digital twin: Vienna’s airport begins major transformation!
A lot is happening at Vienna Airport: With the introduction of the Abigail platform, the entire airport will be digitally recorded in the near future. This innovative system aims to advance the digital transformation of Austria's largest airport and thus expand its position as an important air traffic hub in Europe. The plans also envisage the expansion of Terminal 3 from 2027, which will include new areas, gates, lounges and a spacious security center aerotelegraph reported.
By implementing a digital twin, Vienna wants to promote sustainable construction and optimized ongoing operations. The digital twin will help bring together all relevant data. This measure is intended not only to make decision-making easier in day-to-day business, but also to be crucial in future large-scale projects, as the Nemetschek company points out. Vienna is certain: digitalization brings more efficiency and new possibilities in operational management.
Important partnerships for success
VIE-Build GmbH, which takes over BIM management, plays a key role in this project. The company will primarily take care of connecting existing buildings. This is where modern laser scan data comes into play, which, together with IFC existing models, serves as an interface between the existing structures and the newly planned objects. Annebar in a report by solid construction, laser scan-based construction site monitoring also ensures that deviations are discovered at an early stage.
This approach ensures a seamless integration of the new connection building into the airport's digital infrastructure. The goal of designing the entire system in a coordinated and well-thought-out manner speaks for the good hand at work in the planning team.
The way into the future
The upcoming projects and digital innovations are more than just technical gadgets - they show that Vienna Airport is up to date through digitalization and modern management methods. Such a step is of great importance even in professional circles, as demonstrated by numerous studies and literature, including from de Gruyter, is occupied. The approaches in the area of airport management and critical infrastructure are essential for the development of all air traffic.
“The best is yet to come” – with the digital strategy being pursued in Vienna, many innovations could soon blossom for travelers, airlines and the entire region. The city shows once again that it is very popular in European air traffic and is ready to take a pioneering role.
