Rome Fiumicino "Leonardo da Vinci" Airport

Rome Fiumicino "Leonardo da Vinci" is an intercontinental airport in the municipality of Fiumicino, about 30 km west of central Rome. With 29.3 million passengers in 2022 it is Italy's leading airport for passenger traffic, and with more than 140,000 tonnes of cargo it ranks second in Italy for freight. Since 2009 a cogeneration plant has made the airport self-sufficient in energy, with renewable production.

Boarding Area E, inaugurated in 2016, covers about 90,000 m² in two buildings. The first is the forepart extending Terminal 3, with a large shopping arcade and 8 boarding gates on the ground floor. The second is a dedicated pier with 14 boarding gates and baggage handling and sorting systems. New Boarding Area A in Terminal 1 opened on 18 May 2022: 37,000 m² on three levels, 400 million euros of investment and 23 new gates, for about 6 million more passengers a year.

The commercial forepart has eight departure lounges and two levels of passenger services, including VIP lounges, food and retail. A steel walkway connects it to the new Pier C, used for boarding.

BIMON developed the BIM model and coordinated the multidisciplinary design of the Terminal 3 commercial forepart, keeping architectural and structural models aligned. All construction drawings were produced from the coordinated models, entirely in the BIM environment.

After the forepart, the relationship with Aeroporti di Roma grew. Through existing framework agreements, BIMON surveys and digitizes large areas of the airport and handles BIM process management and BIM model validation on airport projects.
