BIM Services Chicago

This terminal expansion covered a 100,000-square-foot area and a complex upgrade of the existing baggage handling system. Our BIM services supported engineering and designing new systems as well as coordinating them, yielding zero disruption to O’Hare’s operations.

Our challenge here was updating a decade-old space into a modern hotel attraction. Using VR, we created a high-fidelity experience of the Four Seasons Hotel renovation with the exact lighting, materials, and finishes to emulate the real space.

In collaboration with joint venture partners Walsh and Fluor, VIATechnik created 4D BIMs to facilitate construction sequencing and enhancing stakeholder coordination. The 4D BIMs also enhanced project visibility for CTA commuters and the impacted community.

Tasked with creating an immersive virtual reality scene of Chicago’s Union Station, we took a 360-degree digital scan of the station to replicate its interior and bring it to life with sound bites of trains, alerts, and crowd chattering for true immersion.
