ANCHOR is an integrated platform capable of holistically assessing the risk and safety and security levels of Genoa Maritime Station’s cruise terminal, which has more than one million passengers/year and thousands of daily transits. The project consortium consists of STAM (lead partner), DGS and La SIA. These players have pooled their know-how to create an integrated solution from three different technology components that today are treated and applied separately and in different contexts. ANCHOR, in fact, boasts the integration of the following three main components:
BIM modeling of buildings and infrastructure is critical in the design and management activities of buildings and the context they represent. BIM makes it possible to integrate within a single digital model not only the geometric features but also all the intrinsic information of the elements, their georeferencing.
The digital representation for the ANCHOR project started with laser imaging detection and ranging (LiDAR) of the entire Genoa port area to first create a point cloud of the project area. For further detailed modeling of the two crossings of interest, Santa Limbania and Ponte dei Mille, a tripod-mounted laser scanner performed a 360-degree scan.
The survey, which also included the Maritime Station, covered the exterior areas of the building, starting from the west at the height of the pier immediately inside the fenced area and continuing with scans to the opposite side to the east, surveying the terraces, roof, facade, and tunnel. A total of 147 fixed stations were used to perform this mobile mapping system (MMS) contouring.
The result of this survey is a dense cloud representation of colored and georeferenced points that were later used as a reliable basis for BIM. The single BIM model covers an area of about 100,000 m³, which was then divided into four independent macroareas:
