Description
Join some of the industry's leading infrastructure owners as we discuss their unique experiences, challenges, and lessons learned while developing and managing data to meet the 365/24/7 demands of an infrastructure owner and their overall journeys to a true and trustworthy digital twin. Data plays a critical role in ensuring accurate representation of an airport's physical conditions and operational (and financial) readiness. Inaccurate, outdated, and duplicated data can compromise the effectiveness of an owner's ability to support decision making and operational, maintenance, and financial planning. When trusted and readily available, quality data allows stakeholders to gain valuable insights into the operations, identify bottlenecks, optimize processes, and make informed decisions.
Key Learnings
- Discover the importance of data in a digital twin for large owners.
- Discover the value of connecting and sharing data across a large campus with multiple facilities.
- Discover why data validation (and enforcement) builds trust and changes culture.

- JBJohannes BjarnasonJóhannes Bjarni Bjarnason is a Civil Engineer and Department Manager for the Design & Construction department. With over two decades of experience in the construction industry, Jóhannes Bjarni has become known for his expertise in Building Information Modeling (BIM), having worked on large scale BIM projects for major clients in Norway and Iceland. He started working in the construction industry at the age of 15, gaining experience in carpentry and construction management. Jóhannes Bjarni earned his MSc from Denmark's Technical University in 2012 before starting his career as a BIM specialist in Norway's oil and industry sector. In 2015, he relocated to Iceland to take on the role of BIM Manager at Isavia, where he led the implementation of BIM processes and technical tools. Today, Jóhannes Bjarni is responsible for managing the Delivery team, overseeing all construction projects from design to completion and delivery to operations.
- BJBoyd JohnsonBoyd has over 25 years of experience in the AEC industry, specializing in data-driven delivery across the entire project lifecycle. His expertise encompasses managing complex multi-facility development projects and deploying advanced BIM, GIS, AM and PMIS systems in support of strategic planning of data capture, and Digital Twin standards for both private and government (municipal and federal) clients. Boyd excels in digitizing existing conditions using state-of-the-art capture technologies such as LiDAR and photogrammetry. He utilizes these technologies to create highly accurate, geospatially referenced models that serve as the foundation for comprehensive Digital Twins. His work involves developing and implementing rigorous data standards and protocols to ensure seamless integration and interoperability among various data sources. In his role, Boyd leads multidisciplinary teams in creating detailed 3D+ models that capture intricate details of the built environment. These Digital Twin models are designed to be fully compatible with multiple integration platforms, enabling real-time monitoring, simulation, and analysis of assets and capital planning. By integrating these diverse digital systems across large enterprise needs, Boyd ensures that the Digital Twins reflect dynamic changes in the physical environment, operational conditions, and capital planning. The Digital Twins developed under Boyd's leadership are leveraged by Owners and Operators to enhance decision-making, optimize maintenance strategies, and improve overall operational efficiency. His approach allows stakeholders to perform predictive analysis, manage lifecycle costs, and achieve greater transparency and control over their assets. Boyd's expertise in integrating diverse data sets into cohesive Digital Twins ensures his clients receive actionable insights and value throughout the entire lifecycle of their projects.
