Openbim® Processes Helped Minnucci Associati S.R.L. Deliver Whole-Life Value for Naples Station 2018 international Award Winner for Operations and maintenance openBIM® Processes Helped Minnucci Associati s.r.l. Deliver Whole-life Value for Naples Station Project Overview About Naples Centrale Station To keep pace with growing demands, the owner Minnucci Associati s.r.l. The Naples Centrale Station is the main needed to eradicate existing paper-based railway station in the city of Naples, Italy. The decision-making for new building installations Location: station is the sixth largest for passenger flow and ongoing maintenance decision-making. RFI Naples, Italy in Italy, catering for around 150,000 people also wanted to enforce open and interoperable a day with around 400 trains in operation. standards to improve the flow of the newly Objectives: The owner-operator, Rete Ferroviaria Italiana created data. To develop an openBIM (RFI), is responsible for the management methodology to integrate with and safety of rail traffic on the entire national As BIM manager for the project, Minnucci existing facilities management network including the track, stations and Associati s.r.l. needed to develop a BIM model processes installations. covering the 5 main buildings, spanning over 400,000 square meters to provide a digital data Software used: With the need to develop new buildings and workflow to manage thousands of components Leica TruView, CloudCompare, better understand their existing assets, RFI including electrical, HVAC, hydraulics, and other Smart City 3D, ARCHICAD, required a solution that could capture and critical assets that need regular maintenance.

It also had to meet the southern Italy and the sixth largest overall passenger experience, including technical specifications and documentation as station in Italy in terms of passenger safety and flow as well as better integrate set out by RFI. flow. The station has 150,000 daily services from commercial buildings. RFI passengers, 400 operational trains also wanted project teams to work within The CDE needed to house 12,500 components and an annual ridership of 50 million buildingSMART standards and toolkits to that were divided into 65 groups.

Email: [email protected] Abstract: Nowadays construction projects are more and more delivered by Building Information Models instead of traditional 2D drawings. This allows for information rich projects but this information is, in many cases, accessible only for those who are able to use a BIM authoring software. In the current market, both the top levels (CEO and executives) and the low levels (on site and off site operators) of an asset or a facility management company are not able to use a BIM authoring tool, thus to use the valuable information stored in the model. Moreover, BIM models that work fine for the design stage will be of no use during the operational stage if not correctly created. A research has been carried on to cope with these problems and the preliminary results are shown in this paper. Asset managers’ work procedures and needs have been analyzed to identify what information is needed and when in the operational stage and then an IFC compliant standard has been adopted to store data.

  • Use of Building Information Modeling Technology in the Integration of the Handover Process and Facilities Management
    USE OF BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING TECHNOLOGY IN THE INTEGRATION OF THE HANDOVER PROCESS AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT by Sergio O. Alvarez-Romero A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering August, 2014 APPROVED: Guillermo Salazar, PhD, Major Advisor Leonard Albano, PhD, Committee Member Alfredo Di Mauro, AIA, Committee Member Laura Handler, LEED AP, Tocci Building Companies, Committee Member Fredrick Hart, PhD, Committee Member William Spratt, MSc FM, Committee Member John Tocci, CEO Tocci Building Companies, Tahar El-Korchi, PhD, Department Head Committee Member Abstract The operation and maintenance of a constructed facility takes place after the construction is finished. It is usually the longest phase in the lifecycle of the facility and the one that substantially contributes to its lifecycle cost. To efficiently manage the operation and maintenance of a facility, the staff in charge needs reliable and timely information to support decision making throughout the facility’s lifecycle. The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is gradually but steadily changing the way constructed facilities are designed and built. As a result of its use a significant amount of coordinated information is generated during this process and stored in the digital model. However, once the project is completed the owner does not necessarily receive full benefits from the model for future operation and maintenance of the facility. This research explores the information that in the context of educational facilities has value to the owner/operator and that can be delivered at the end of the construction stage through a BIM-enabled digital handover process.

    Aman Oli Structural BIM Modelling Using Tekla Structures Focus on a Modelling Process of an Office building Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Engineering Civil Engineering Bachelor’s Thesis April 2017 Abstract Author Aman Oli Title Structural BIM Modelling using Tekla Structures Number of Pages 34 pages + 5 appendices Date 11 April 2017 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Civil Engineering Specialisation option Sustainable Building Engineering Instructors Sunil Suwal, Senior Lecturer Jorma Säteri, Head of the Degree Programme The main objective of this thesis was to explore the utilization and benefits of BIM with a focus on the structural modelling process and clash detection. Structural BIM tools Tekla Structures (2016) and Solibri Model Checker v9.7 were used for developing a structural model and clash detection, respectively, of an office building. The purpose was to find various underlying benefits of BIM in generating a structural model. Systematic use of different structural tools for the BIM application which focused on modelling and documentation phases were emphasized. BIM was studied from vari- ous perspectives. To test the various tools, an office building was modelled, and an IFC (Industry Foundation Class) file made of it for Tekla Structures. For clash checking, Solibri model checker was used. A step by step guideline for modelling an office building and checking clashes was pre- sented. This thesis can be used for educational purposes and for new Tekla Structures users as a guideline. In addition, engineers working with the Solibri model checker can use this thesis as a reference document. Keywords BIM, structural modelling, Tekla Structures, Solibri Model Checker, COBIM Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences for giving me an opportunity to pursue this degree program.
