Project Summary

Jakarta, the previous capital city of Indonesia, suffered from pollution, flooding, and overcrowding. As a result, the country is building a new city, Nusantara, 1,000 miles away. Part of its development includes a new, IDR 10.5 trillion presidential palace, which features a 50-megawatt solar plant and a façade featuring a Garuda bird, the symbol of Indonesia, with a wingspan of 117 meters. Wijaya Karya had to develop the massive, complex project in a short timeframe.

The organization used Bentley applications to design and model the project, starting with using iTwin Capture to process nine hectares of aerial site data. Next, they used Bentley Open applications and MicroStation to model all elements of the site together, detecting and correcting clashes in the process. Digital modeling helped Wijaya Karya lower costs by USD 63 million and lower the amount of rebar needed by 138.8 tons, while also accelerating design by 33 days and determining ways to lower ongoing energy use
