We were one of the the first consultants in the UK to adopt 3D reinforcement detailing on all projects to provide BIM level 2 reinforcement models to our clients. Clash detection, error reduction, improved coordination and site preparation are all benefits as well as greater visual understanding of the project. Solve Structural Design Ltd are this year's winners of the Tekla UK BIM awards (commercial category) with the One Nine Elms project in London.
Working very closely with the contractor, we were able to implement the use of the 3D rebar models very early on in the project, for checking, detail development and rebar fixing to supplement the final 2D drawings. Collaboration was improved dramatically using Trimble Connect for viewing and commenting on the models, which proved much faster and efficient than than the usual emails backwards and forwards with marked up screenshots.
Skype sessions/meetings were also held with the 3D rebar model being the central focal point, also allowing detail development to occur much earlier than usual to ensure buildability of final drawings and bending schedules.
