• QU New College of Engineering Project overview

Built up area = 76,000 M2 Stories = Basement , Ground, First and Second floor


Design Spaces : Class rooms, Laboratories,, Offices, Atrium, Auditorium, Lecture halls, Cafeteria & kitchen, Learning

resource center, Workshop, Basement & surface car park Budget = 507,000,000 Construction Duration = 30 months QSAS (Sustainable rating) – 4 Star rating

Basement Project Snapshots – Structure / Architecture Model


• Need for BIM and its policies & standardization


Viewing physical and functional characteristic digitally before it is built. VIRTUAL = PHYSICAL

To deliver projects faster, more economical and reduce environmental impact.

IPD and better design decisions Increase accuracy of construction documentation Predict performance – Time and Cost Improve quality Multi-disciplinary capability that serves architecture, structural

engineering, and MEP. Ability to support distributed work processes, with multiple

team members working on the same project. Ability to work on large projects.

Construction needs


BIM should be taught as a subject to the students

Industry professionals indicated that they are either using or considering to use BIM in their companies. This trend indicates that the BIM utilization in the construction industry is going to increase.

Employing candidates with BIM skills to have an advantage over candidates who lack BIM knowledge

A study pointed out that properly structured BIM courses would provide industry-required knowledge to prepare students for successful careers in the AEC industry. Instead of teaching a separate course, its suggested to reconfigure the existing construction courses to integrate BIM into the course contents.

Academia / Educational Needs


Standardization

CSI Format – UniFormat / MasterFormat LOD 4D – Time schedule : Line & Balance ( Flow line method) / CPM scheduling approach (Gant Chart) Industry foundation classes (IFC) compatibility Software to be used in BIM environment

Policies With the latest development of BIM standards, QU has adopted the

AEC UK BIM Standards Version 2013 – released on August 22nd 2013.

QU is focused on developing a Parametric 3D Model with defined Level of Development to Achieve Coordinated and useable BIM model for Site information, Operation and maintenance use


QU will develop with its construction key stakeholders a

• LOD 300 Model for coordination.

• LOD 350/400 for Shop drawings Generation and insure the use of BIM extracted data by its Sub-Contractors

• LOD 500 Model for As-Built• LOD 500 Accurate Geometry Reflected on Model• LOD 500 O&M Data linked with FM Solution.


• Project use of 4D and 5D simulations

A combined model derived from the 3D BIM Model Data to level of development 350/400 will be published to the selected 4D/5D System.

It has been incorporated that the 3D/4D/5D system will be published with vendor developed plugins to ensure integrity of data and interoperability.

3D Authoring Workflow

• BIM workflows (advantages) and stakeholders communication.


3D Coordination

• Currently CENG project in a short period of time benefited by identifying 9000 Clashes between ASMEP Disciplines in the Basement area.


Stakeholders communication

Improve communication using BIM with QU key stakeholders: QCDD KAHRAMAA Ooredoo Drainage department Road and infrastructure department Urban Planning Department Private Engineering Office Municipality QSAS / GSAS Designers Contractors Venders


• QU future strategies related to BIM implementation & FM (6D)

Standardize the use of BIM on all QU Projects – All Scale Develop a BIM team to manage data received from

Contractors. Introduce the knowledge and knowhow from current projects

into students curriculum. Ensure data integrity and standardization from all 3D/4D/5D

systems to flawlessly integrate with 6D Facilities Management application adopted for O&M of QU facilities.

BIM will be derived for the use of Facilities management, space management and preventive maintenance management.


Lead rather than follow
