PDTs & WIMES Update

Pump Centre BIM Awareness Day

Today’s presentation

• BIM4Water Product Data Templates (PDTs)

• Pump Centre role

• BIM4Water & WIMES (Water Industry M & E specifications)

• WIMES summary

• Specifying BIM Level 2 via WIMES

• WIMES datasheets & BIM4Water

BIM4Water PDTs - background

• Product Data Templates (PDTs) are currently being developed by the

BIM4Water Standard Libraries Working Group for valves, actuators,

couplings, pipes and pumps

• Within the project design & installation phase, designers will be able to

access equipment performance & design information via the PDTs. This will

facilitate process design and verify that equipment can be installed in the

space available

• Within the asset management phase, the asset manager will be able to

access equipment operation and maintenance information via the PDT and if

necessary obtain information on spare/replacement parts

• The use of PDTs will avoid the need to re-enter asset technical information

into specifications and asset management databases during the project

design and delivery process, thereby reducing costs and reducing the

likelihood of mistakes

BIM4Water PDTs – Pump Centre role

• The Pump Centre is currently helping the BIM4Water Standard Libraries

Group develop pump PDTs for use within the water industry

• The Pump Centre are well placed to do this because of their wide knowledge

of the pump types commonly used within the water industry, gained over the

last 20 years via the WIMES activity

• The current pump PDT has been ‘developed’ from the ‘baseline’ CIBSE pump

PDT by reference to the existing WIMES pump datasheets

• Assuming that the pump PDT and WIMES datasheets will both form part of

the BIM Level 2 dataset for a typical pumping station/installation, there is

perhaps a need to review the contents of the PDT and the WIMES datasheet

to ensure there is no unnecessary duplication of information?

BIM4Water PDTs – Pump Centre Role

• There is presumably a need for the BIM4Water Standard Libraries Group to

develop PDTs for other equipment items used within the water industry

(screens, mixers, aerators, blowers, scrapers, etc.)

• The Pump Centre can assist with this process, however, perhaps there is

perhaps also a need to agree timescales for the development of the PDTs

and discuss how more OEMs can be encouraged to take part in the process?

Today’s presentation

• Background

• Pump Centre role

• BIM4Water & WIMES (Water Industry M & E specifications)

• WIMES summary

• Specifying BIM Level 2 via WIMES

• WIMES datasheets & BIM4Water

WIMES summary

• WIMES stands for Water Industry Mechanical & Electrical Specifications

• The objective of the ‘WIMES activity’ is to provide water companies with

specifications that will enable them to procure M & E equipment which is fit

for purpose and provides the lowest Life Cycle Costs (LCC) at a competitive

purchase price

• The WIMES have been managed by the Pump Centre since 1996

• There are now over 70 WIMES available, ranging from relatively simple

machinery items, such as pumps and motors, to complicated pieces of

package plant such as odour control equipment

• A full list of the WIMES and their associated resources can be found on the

Pump Centre website (www.pumpcentre.com)

WIMES summary

All of the UK’s WASCs and half of the UK WSCs use the WIMES:

Affinity Water

Anglian Water

Bristol Water

Cambridge Water (South Staffs)

Dwr Cymru (Welsh Water)

Essex & Suffolk Water

Northern Ireland Water

Northumbrian Water

Portsmouth Water

Scottish Water

Severn Trent Water

South East Water

South West Water

Southern Water

Sutton and East Surrey Water

Thames Water

United Utilities

Wessex Water

Yorkshire Water

The EA and Network Rail also use the WIMES, as do a number of overseas

water utilities (including Irish Water)

Specifying BIM Level 2 via WIMES

• WIMES can obviously start to specify that water industry OEMs provide

product information that is compliant with BIM Level 2, but what should be

the timescales for doing this?

• Presumably, water industry OEMs already have 3D CAD models of their

products, but are these compliant with BIM Level 2?

• The BIM4Water SLG has only just started to develop water industry PDTs,

so far with the involvement of a relatively small number of OEMs

• What is the best way to encourage more OEMs to take part in this process

and is the BIM4Water SLG resourced to manage the simultaneous

development of number of water industry PDTs?

WIMES datasheets & BIM4Water

• WIMES datasheets should evolve (via a number of revisions) through project

tender stage, contract award and finally equipment handover. The final

version of the datasheet should go into the project file, as a record of the

equipment specification

• Within the BIM strategy, the ‘evolving’ WIMES data sheet could form part of

the data made available at the various ‘COBie Data Drops’. WIMES

datasheets are currently MS Word files, so they will need to be converted to

MS Excel files to allow this occur

• As discussed earlier, it is envisaged that water industry PDTs will contain a

reference/link to the associated WIMES datasheet, to enable designers/asset

managers to access a ‘greater level of detail’ relating to equipment

performance and design than is available via the PDT alone
