Porvoo Oil Refinery, Finland

22

Porvoo Oil Refinery, FinlandSubmitted by A-Insinrit OyConstructabilityThis model has steel, concrete and reinforcement, the transition of the connection between the Steel and Concrete is detailed to enable site construction. CollaborationMany reference models have been used, the main aspect being the old structure which was imported to coordinate the building and connection with the new. Topographical models were also imported to coordinate with site works for clearing the groundThe piping and equipment were also imported for clash detection as well as structural layout coordination.23

23

Porvoo Oil Refinery, FinlandInnovative use of Tekla Plans, elevation drawings created from the Tekla modelAll fabrication data for steel and precast were taken from the model for accurate and JIT (just in time) construction

24

Miscellaneous This project is a true reflection on how BIM should be utilised, the Industrial construction companies have been using a BIM methodology for many years. This project shows how all disciplines can combine models for coordination and follow that through into the fabrication and construction. Thus saving time and money with no lengthy drawing approval times slowing the process.

Isois Bridge Finland 33Submitted by Isois bridge project groupConstructabilityObjective has been to utilize the building information model instead of drawings in the procurement and construction of the projectAll steel and concrete structures were modeled, including reinforcing bars and similar details

The contractor used the model to maintain the construction schedule up-to-date, including steel structure design, fabrication and assembly, as well as general project timetable as well as quality objectives

Winner

33

Isois Bridge Finland Collaboration / BIM AspectBIM-based data transfer has been maximized and the amount of paper documents minimized during constructionDuring estimation, an accurate and realistic model enabled model-based bidding requests.All quantities were extracted from the model so that the project owner was able to commit based on correct informationSteel fabrication drawings were produced directly from the already detailed model delivered by the structural designer without further input data in drawing format34

Winner

34

Isois Bridge Finland Innovative use of Tekla The architects geometry model created by the functioned as the source data for structural designSteel structure was modeled containing the coordinate points for elevationThe team also modeled earthworks, temporary excavations and landfills, street infrastructure and piping, and the wells of the area in Inframodel format

35

When scaffoldings were modelled the conflicts with actual structure was noticed. These conflicts had not been noticed at the draft stage

Winner

35

Isois Bridge Finland MiscellaneousA combined shared model was published based on the design model and street model and it was available to use by the designer, project owner and contractorIn all, using the model data in the project has been a great benefit, reducing surprises and contradictions as well as enhancing the accuracy of quantity and length measurements as the project progresses. This was realized as significant cost savings in the project36

Submitted by Apex Structural DesignConstructabilityWithout use of a 3D model this project would have been extremely difficult to fabricate, the model allows the fabricators to measure from all critical pointsCollaborationSketchUp files imported to Tekla for clarification of bought in parts for liftingThe project was supplied without drawings, a 3D model was the design intentThis project was unique in the sense that the client did not supply drawings. Instead we were provided with artist renderings and a BIM model from the studios design team. This model consisted of only the exterior surface but allowed us to easily locate and model the hundreds of work points required to layout the surface plates.
