Delta JFK Terminal 4 Interim Phase (2.5) is a project aiming to modernize and expand Delta Air Lines’ hub at JFK International Airport in Jamaica, New York. The project has three independent coordination teams to align in parallel for the 3 different geographies of Headhouse, Concourse A and Concourse B.

The project leverages BIM technology for design, coordination, and clash detection, aiming to improve efficiency and minimize construction issues. Building Information Modeling is implemented by Tejjy Inc.

The BIM work scope for the project includes the Carpentry and Ceiling (Drywall & Ceiling) trade, model creation at LOD 350 from design layouts and clash coordination amongst various trades.

BIM Scope of Work

Create LOD 350 BIM Carpentry (Drywall & Ceiling) 

Models from design layout 

Coordination with other trades to avoid clashes 

Stakeholder Involved: Cordco, HH (General Contractor) 

Aggressive Project Schedule: The project schedule for Phase I of this project is extremely aggressive.

 

Coordinating complex MEP systems: Integrating various trades (Plumbing, Fire Protection, Mechanical Air/Wet, Electrical Fit-out, etc.) within a functioning airport terminal requires meticulous planning and clash detection. 

Maintaining project schedule: BIM facilitates clash detection and resolution early in the design phase, saving time and avoiding costly rework during construction. 

Ensuring data accuracy and accessibility: It is essential to ensure that everyone works with the latest and accurate information.
