But for other project team members, having access to crucial information captured isn’t always straightforward. Using Autodesk’s Revit software for the design of the holding and maintenance area for the De Lijn project means certain members of the team can visualise their designs in 3D.
“On this project, our dedicated project management took the lead in looking at how we could optimise workflows to deliver more efficiently,” says Anthony. “We have several initiatives across the company to help our teams close the gap when managing and sharing data better,” reflects Anthony. A new maintenance and operations centre will also be delivered in Rumst as part of the project. In the future, city bus transport for Antwerp will be operated from this depot. “We’re constructing a new depot for the Flemish government’s bus operator De Lijn in Deurne, Belgium,” says Anthony. A CDE in action: De Lijn Deurne-Rumst project We speak to Anthony Kennes, BIM Manager of the Buildings division for Sweco, on how the teams use a CDE to manage information on their construction projects. From the analysis and delivery of oil surveys for the Antwerp Ring Road to the design and implementation of the AZ Sint-Maarten hospital, Sweco is a trusted partner to Belgium’s construction industry.Īnd to build trusted partnerships, collaborating and communicating with many different stakeholders is crucial to successful project delivery. Sweco is Europe’s leading engineering and architecture consultancy with a strong geographical footprint in Belgium. One of the best ways to address this issue is to create a standardised way of structuring data and collaboration – or, more specifically, by adopting a common data environment (CDE). The good news: there are ways to resolve construction’s data overload. The poor management that inevitably results for companies that don’t have a system in place can lead to errors, rework, missed deadlines, cost overruns, confusion, and even legal issues. Unfortunately, many teams struggle to manage and disperse this information effectively.
Any project – from a small refurbishment to a 20-storey apartment block – requires the creation and sharing of untold data during the project’s lifecycle. It’s fair to say that a typical construction project generates a colossal amount of data.
