Data Centre Framework (Europe) = BIM CASE STUDY
Location: EUROPE Client: confidential Value: TBC Duration: 2023 - 2024 Role: Task Team Manager / Interface Manager / Technical BIM Advisor Responsibility: Project BIM MANAGEMENT & BIM coordination, BEP & EIR production (ISO 19650), model scalability, INTERNAL QA/QC SET-UP
Challenges
- Managing a complex BIM programme with extensive data and client-specific IRs.
- Ensuring Revit model adaptability and BIM scalability across multiple sites in different regions.
- Coordinating across diverse design teams to meet unified standards & specifications.
- The Client started preparing Information Requirements almost at project handover, creating additional complexity.
Solutions
- Addressed the lack of Information Requirements by assisting the Client in creating & refining IRs during the project & initially drafted as well as updated the BEP & Models to suit where feasible.
- Conducted thorough reviews & updates of objects to align with the newly established IRs.
- Developed federated BIM models in Revit (MEP, Architecture & Structure) aligned with ISO 19650 and client-specific IRs.
- Performed comprehensive Coordination & Clash detection and validation across all disciplines.
- Created shared parameter files using industry-compliant naming conventions and populated all maintainable objects with asset attributes for handover.
End Result
Accelerated project timelines through project BIM coordination and optimised resource efficiency for European data centre projects.
Delivered an adaptable reference design model for Multi-Site Data Centre Framework in Europe.
Setup a new standard for design flexibility, scalability, and client satisfaction.
Overcame lack of Information Requirements by working closely with the Client to define and integrate the EIR & Framework BEP Template, ensuring seamless project delivery in line with ISO 19650.
