Hili Fun City

Abu Dhabi, UAE

Project Overview

The Hili Fun City project involved developing an exhaustive digital representation of the existing amusement park facility in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The primary objective was to establish a high-fidelity digital baseline of the entire theme park to support ongoing operational management, accurate asset documentation, and strategic future redevelopment or expansion planning.

OneClick BIM developed a fully coordinated, multidisciplinary As-Built BIM model that accurately captured the park's highly diverse landscape and mechanical features. This provided the park management team with dependable documentation for facility operations, design validation, and long-term asset lifecycle management.

OneClick BIM's Scope

OneClick BIM was responsible for translating vast site data into a synchronized, cohesive BIM model of the active amusement park.

The project scope included:

  • Multidisciplinary As-Built Modelling: Developing architectural, structural, and MEP models of all park buildings and facilities.

  • Amusement Ride Geometry Capture: Modelling complex mechanical and structural ride assets.

  • Infrastructure & Utility Mapping: Documenting extensive pathways, landscape areas, and underground/above-ground utilities.

  • Existing Conditions Consolidation: Unifying diverse asset data into a single source of truth.

  • Centralised Digital Asset Management: Structuring the model to support facility management workflows.

Key Challenge

The primary challenge lay in capturing and consolidating massive, large-scale site information across fundamentally different asset types. Managing the tight intersection between complex, non-standard mechanical ride geometries, expansive landscape zones, and intricate underground utility networks required extreme precision. Developing a unified digital environment was critical to prevent data fragmentation, eliminate design uncertainties for future renovations, and maintain operational continuity.

OneClick BIM's Workflow

  • Data Assessment & Scan-to-BIM: Evaluated incoming site survey and reality capture data to establish strict modelling parameters across all park zones.

  • Multidisciplinary Model Development: Utilised Autodesk Revit to construct detailed, parallel models for the park's architecture, structural frameworks, and MEP systems.

  • Complex Data Integration: Deployed Autodesk Navisworks to compile, aggregate, and review the highly complex ride geometries and sprawling infrastructure networks.

  • Coordination & Quality Review: Conducted rigorous clash detection and spatial validation checks to ensure the digital model perfectly mirrored the real-world site conditions.

  • Final Model Validation: Verified the complete ecosystem model against client operational requirements to ensure readiness for asset management.

Final BIM Delivery

OneClick BIM delivered a comprehensive, fully integrated As-Built BIM model of the entire Hili Fun City facility. By successfully consolidating complex site information into a single digital environment, the deliverables provided stakeholders with a reliable foundation for immediate maintenance, automated asset tracking, and seamless renovation or expansion planning.

Key Project Highlights

  • Comprehensive Multidisciplinary BIM Model
  • Accurate Ride & Mechanical Feature Mapping
  • Intricate Utility & Infrastructure Documentation
  • Centralised Digital Asset Management

  • Enhanced Operational and Maintenance Efficiency

PROJECT DETAILS & WORKFLOW

Frequently Asked Questions

What is as-built BIM for an amusement park? +

As-built BIM is a multidisciplinary 3D digital model of an existing amusement park — its rides, buildings, utilities, and infrastructure — created from captured site data. It centralizes geometry, asset data, and documentation in one model used for asset documentation, redevelopment planning, and operational management.

How was the ride geometry captured at Hili Fun City? +

OneClick BIM used a scan-to-BIM workflow: existing site conditions were assessed and captured, then developed into a multidisciplinary Revit model. The model was integrated in Navisworks for coordination, clash detection, and quality review before final validation.

Why is scan-to-BIM used instead of manual measurement for amusement parks? +

Amusement rides have intricate curves and complex structural elements that manual measurement cannot capture accurately. Scan-to-BIM captures the true as-built geometry of these irregular features, producing a model that reflects actual site conditions rather than approximations.

What did OneClick BIM deliver for Hili Fun City? +

A comprehensive as-built BIM model with full asset documentation for the entire park footprint — accurate ride and mechanical feature mapping, utility and infrastructure documentation, and a centralized digital asset management environment.

Why do amusement park operators need as-built BIM? +

Parks change constantly — rides are modified, utilities rerouted, facilities expanded — and paper records go stale fast. One accurate digital record streamlines maintenance, speeds up renovation planning, and reduces costly surprises during expansion work.

What is the difference between as-built BIM and traditional as-built drawings? +

Traditional as-builts are static 2D records that cannot show how building systems interact in 3D. As-built BIM is a data-rich model where geometry, asset data, and documentation live together — so clashes, clearances, and asset information are checked digitally instead of discovered on site.

Which software was used on the Hili Fun City project? +

Revit for multidisciplinary model development and Navisworks for model integration, clash detection, and quality review.
