PLAN
Smart Cities
Planning, Data and Digital Infrastructure that make urban places more efficient, resilient and liveable.
Technology only improves a city if it is designed in from the start. We combine urban planning, infrastructure engineering and digital delivery so that smart technology serves the plan’s social, economic and environmental goals, rather than arriving afterwards as a set of disconnected systems and pilot schemes.
Our teams embed BIM, GIS and digital twin principles from day one, giving city authorities and developers a shared, data-rich view of how their places will be planned, built and operated, and a governance model that keeps that data consistent, secure and usable over time.

WHAT WE DO
Smart City Strategy & Roadmap
Defining what “smart” should achieve for a city or precinct, and how to phase it.
Smart Technology In Masterplans
Integrating sensors, data and digital services into land-use, infrastructure and building plans.
Integrated BIM & GIS Planning
Connecting design models with geospatial data for planning, permitting and coordination.
Digital Twins for Districts & Cities
Data-rich virtual models that support decisions from planning through to operation.
Smart Infrastructure & Utilities
Data-enabled transport, water, energy and utility systems.
Data Governance & Information Management
Standards and processes that keep city data consistent, secure and usable.
HOW WE WORK
01
Planned in, not bolted on
Smart technology is part of the masterplan and infrastructure design from the outset.
02
Integrated Digital Delivery
The same BIM, GIS and digital twin methods run from planning through to operation.
03
Sustainability-led
Every technology choice is tested against the plan’s sustainability targets.

SMART CITIES CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE
Engineering
A Green Future
Smart cities solutions are ever changing, there are no absolute definitions of smart cities, no end point, but rather a process by which cities become more ‘LIVEABLE’ and resilient and, hence, able to respond quicker to new challenges.
Meinhardt operates Singapore’s first and only Smart Cities Centre of Excellence by an engineering consultancy firm, promoting best practice solutions for integrated sustainable and future-proofed smart applications Meinhardt’s Smart Cities Centre of Excellence offers best practice solutions and assists in developing new opportunities and technological options.

CLIENT - GMR Aerocity
Smart Airport City 4.0.
Strong principles of bridging digital divide between sectors, enhancing customer experience, integrating and achieving efficiency in operations, monitoring, control and optimization.
After a careful review of the global smart cities standards which are under development, and digital transformation initiatives, Meinhardt worked towards a unique definition, vision, goals and objectives for the Smart Airport City 4.0.
The role of the integrated infrastrcture and ICT team was to look at aspirational and accountable KPIs, various architectures (with a technical focus for implementation), and technical solutions for various areas such as transport, energy, environment, utilities and the APIs integration. This final aim was for largescale implementation and interoperability.
Meinhardt conducted ground surveys, sector-wide gap assessment and strategic visioning workshops to formulate comprehensive technical blueprints and tender documents for the development of terminals and am integrated smart city. The blueprints detailed 2 to 6 years of phasing strategies with respect to the seven pillars of innovations in data and communication management, terminal and landside operations, traffic management, energy management, water management, security management, smart lighting and wayfinding, and smart environmental management. Furthermore, the scope covered:
- Review of individual data input, overviews of departmental operations and standard operating procedures to draw up corresponding action plans.
- Review of existing Terminal and landside master plans, business operations, organizational structure and business processes.
- Understanding and tailoring the passenger’s journey from landside to terminal side and working towards the aspirations of Gen X.
- Gap Assessment on the smart city parameters and forming a unique scoring system.
- Visioning, strategy, goals and development of micro & macro KPIs.
- Review of existing SOPs and upgrading to improve response time and customer experience.
- Development of sector specific solutions for security surveillance (including detailed TVRA), intelligent transportation system (MaaS), water and wastewater management, drainage, urban resilience and sustainability, smart grid, data communications and terminal and landside operations management.
- Development of implementation framework, cost benefits analysis and phasing strategy
- Development of 8 dashboards and Integrated Super App
- Digital Twin and AR/VR development
- Development of Tender document and tendering support.
