6.10pm - EBOSS BIM Survey Results 2019

The sixth survey in this series (extended from previous five) has been completed this year, taking another snapshot of the state of BIM uptake across the New Zealand Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry. Matthew Duder from EBOSS will present the findings of this year's survey, taken across a broad spectrum of the NZ industry, including designers, construction companies, and facility owners and managers.

6.30pm - Steps Towards Digital Asset Management at a 45 year old Waste Water Treatment Plant - Glenn Jowett, Senior Associate – BIM Delivery Lead, Beca

The multi-award-winning Pukete Wastewater Treatment Plant Asset Information Model project takes the complex and very relevant problem of collecting, integrating and maintaining information about existing asset stock. It breaks this problem down into smaller, palatable chunks and addresses each component of the problem though the implementation of several technologies. This is underpinned by trust and true collaboration between Beca (the consulting team) and Hamilton City Council (the client).

Hamilton City Council’s challenge centered on the accessibility, reliability and completeness of asset information and as-built records. The solution proposed and implemented by the Beca team involved implementing several technologies that were appropriate to each component. This included the use of; Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to capture site-wide geometry, laser scanners to capture building and asset geometry, 3D modelling tools to develop Building Information Models, a web-based integration tool to create the asset information model and mobile devices to link the digital assets to barcodes on their physical asset counterparts.

This presentation will cover each component of the approach and the final solution, including the challenges that were faced and the benefits that were realised.
