Less than 0.1% material waste on a new container terminal
How the Nordhavn New Container Terminal project uses Vitus to bring non-BIM specialists onto the digital twin, turning VDC prefabrication into a benchmark for lean, sustainable construction.
Making VDC precision work for non-specialists too
The Nordhavn New Container Terminal is a state-of-the-art facility built for By & Havn, a key component in the expansion of Nordhavn, a dynamic and evolving district in Copenhagen. Contractor Munck Havne og Anlæg employs Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) for the prefabrication of reinforcement cages, an approach that only pays off if everyone on site can act on it.
VDC at scale
Prefabricating reinforcement cages digitally, safely and efficiently, with no room for waste.
Non-specialists on the digital twin
Success requires construction professionals who aren't BIM or VDC specialists to interact with the model too.
Lean has to be provable
Achieving under 0.1% material waste means every decision has to trace back to accurate project data.
With Vitus, everyone on site has easy access to the 3D models and the information we need.
How the project turns data access into lean practice
Vitus empowers non-BIM specialists to interact with the project's digital twin in an intuitive and effective manner, enabling real-time visualization and monitoring of the construction process across all levels.
Vitus as the access layer
Every team member, specialist or not, gets easy access to models and data through Vitus.
Real-time visualization on site
Construction progress is visualized and monitored as it happens, directly from the model.
Lean practice becomes the standard
Informed, accurate decisions at every level reduce material waste to a fraction of a percent.
What Nordhavn New Container Terminal shows about lean, data-driven construction
Waste reduction starts with data access
VDC only pays off if the people executing it can see and act on the model too, not just plan from it.
Real-time visibility changes coordination
Monitoring construction as it happens replaces catching problems after the fact.
A benchmark for lean, sustainable infrastructure
The project's approach sets a standard other large-scale terminals and infrastructure builds can measure themselves against.
