Case Study: Schiphol Airport builds a data-driven digital twin with Catenda Hub

Schiphol Airport serves 71 million passengers with Catenda

Schiphol Airport, one of the world's busiest airports, faced the challenge of managing a vast compound of ongoing projects and maintenance. The organization needed a smarter, more efficient way to handle the constant communication and information exchange between multidisciplinary teams, moving away from scattered files and emails to a data-driven approach. To address this, Schiphol implemented Catenda Hub as its central common data environment.

Using Catenda Hub, Schiphol created a single source of truth for its BIM@schiphol program, storing IFC models, BCF issues, and documents. The solution provided a secure, ISO 27001-certified platform that became the foundation for their journey toward a 1:1 digital twin. The results included significant cost savings by discovering a clash early in a construction project, shorter lead times, more plan stability, and lower failure costs, ultimately helping to keep deliveries on schedule.
