SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) announced today that it has been selected by Fernando Romero
Enterprise (FR-EE) to provide consulting services for the Nuevo
Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de
Mexico (NAICM). Trimble will support the use of a Building
Information Modeling (BIM)-enabled Project Delivery System (PDS) by
FR-EE and Foster + Partners joint venture. The PDS will be used to
manage and deliver the airport's final design phase. As part of the
consulting services, Trimble will also assist in defining and
implementing processes and technologies that will enable FR-EE to
create and maintain constructability throughout the airport
project.
"Complex projects demand a unique approach to project delivery
that is data-driven, visual and fluid. Currently one of the world's
largest airport infrastructure projects, the new International
Airport in Mexico City is a
tangible example of this kind of complexity," said Chris Gibson, vice president of Trimble.
"Trimble Professional Services works closely with project owners,
design teams and builders to develop custom project delivery
systems that streamline the flow of information from conception
into execution and operation. Trimble is extremely excited to be
working with FR-EE and Foster + Partners to provide our innovative
professional consulting services and BIM capabilities."
About NAICM
The Mexico City New International Airport
(NAICM), designed jointly by FR-EE/Fernando Romero Enterprise and
Foster + Partners, is a new greenfield airport being built in
Mexico City to replace the
existing Benito Juarez
International Airport.
The project is being developed by Mexico's Secretariat of Communications and
Transport (SCT) as part of the transport development plan announced
by Mexican President, Enrique Peña Nieto, who allocated
US$9.2 billion in September 2014 for the initial construction
phase. It is one of the world's largest airport infrastructure
projects and is expected to be the largest airport in Latin America.
The new airport will have the capacity to handle 50 million
passengers a year, which is expected to be increased to 120 million
annually through expansion projects by 2062. Known as the "Airport
of the Future," the single airport enclosure will be sustainable as
it is expected to use less materials and energy than a cluster of
buildings. The structure will use natural sunlight, collect
rainwater, and achieve a high performance that meets high thermal
and acoustic standards. The airport will also use clean and
renewable sources of energy and will operate with green
technologies, promoting efficient use of water, ventilation systems
and air-conditioning.

disparate from one another. FR-EE's approach reflects the expanding
role of architects and architecture in contemporary society as
