BIM for Architecture, Private Building
- Ford Centre of Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence
The new Ford Centre of Engineering and Manufacturing
Excellence (CEME) building is located at the Heart of
the Thames Gateway, the largest area of growth and regeneration
in the U.K. It provides nearly 10,000 square meters of
high-tech learning facilities, including conference facilities
for 350 people, office space, IT and business centers,
two auditoriums, six lecture theaters, 14 training rooms,
22 classrooms, and four specialist CAD/CAM rooms.
Throughout the project, the integration of MicroStation
DGN data with intranet-based databases was critical
in ensuring the management of complete building data.
Through the use of tag sets, the project benefited
from issue sheets and drawing registers fully synchronized
with the DGN drawings. Door and window schedules
and specifications were all produced as a by-product
of
the CAD model&8212;true building information modeling
(BIM).
This approach, tied with Sheppard Robson&8217;s commitment
to efficient design solutions and the use of Bentley
software, permitted the completion of an extremely energy-efficient
building that will cut CEME&8217;s annual utility bill
by about 25 percent.
