Frankfurt Airport holds many records, perhaps one of the lesser-known ones being that the airport site - one of the biggest in Europe - is the largest workplace in Germany, with 70,000 people employed within its perimeter fence. The need to carefully manage the development of the key site is obvious, which is why operator, Fraport AG, has used geo-spatial technology to ensure that it makes maximum use of its land for the last 20 years. Indeed, staff from Fraport's Department of Geo-information, Building Data Management, and Building Information and Engineering Surveying are always on site capturing data about all built-up areas and assets and their associated utility supply and disposal infrastructure. The data, which flows into the asset database in real time, represents key elements of Fraport's business processes and plays a strategic role for both development and maintenance activities. Processing of the geo-spatial data is undertaken using GeoMedia desktop products provided by Intergraph Corporation.
