    Description

    The East Bank project—located in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, United Kingdom—provided a rare opportunity to push the boundaries of what's possible in terms of building information modeling (BIM) collaboration and digital delivery. With more than 280 live intelligent models across five buildings, Allies and Morrison, BuroHappold, and Mace had to establish a digital strategy that could facilitate collaborative working across an international team, with a wide range of skills across 70 design and construction teams. This presentation will start from the humble beginnings in the early concept stages, and will take you through the evolution of the BIM strategy over eight years. We'll touch on everything from the use of virtual reality (VR) technology in the design process to complex 3D coordination exercises before the fabrication of building components. Finally, we'll present our use of data analytics platforms to track the development of building asset data, for use in the operation of the buildings.

    Key Learnings

    • Discover a BIM strategy that accommodates all skills levels, from BIM novices to industry innovators.
    • Learn about developing a technology strategy that considered the concept sketch, to building operations, and everything in between.
    • Learn about placing interoperability at the heart of the digital delivery strategy.
    • Learn about centralizing on-site construction management and communications in a 3D digital environment.
