Building Information Modeling - 30

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION Syska Hennessy Group Delivers Innovative Solutions to Clients using Building Information Modeling The BIM sofware’s capability to generate and manage building data during its lifecycle produces more accurate, better coordinated, three-dimensional project models. As the world continues to advance technologically, our firm is committed to staying ahead of the game as consultants, engineers and c onstructors. We use cutting edge technology to deliver innovative and creative solutions t o c omplex c hallenges. Utilizing t ools suc h as B uilding Information M odeling (BIM) helps us maintain our competitive edge, and bring the best t echnical quality and e xpertise to our clients. The BIM softwar e’s capability to generate and manage building data dur ing its lifecycle pr oduces mor e ac curate, better coordinated, three-dimensional pr oject models. The model encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components. The higher precision that is cr eated w ith this t ype of modeling, increases productivity in building design, and helps r educe construction phase change orders. As such, we understand the value in using BIM and are positioned t o pr ovide this hig hly efficient approach to our projects. As engineers, Syska Hennessy Group benefits from the use of BIM by using the architect’s geometric model as a basis for building environmental, energy, daylighting, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. 30 BIM We ha ve used BIM on a n umber of high-profile projects already, with much of the work focusing on the 3D mo deling of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, as well as interference detection with structural and architectural elements. BIM is also in alig nment with our mission to create high performance solutions for the built en vironment. Modern, sustainable designs require intricate modeling to mak e infor med decisions in the early phases of design. As eng ineers, Syska Hennessy Group benefits from the use of BIM b y using the ar chitect’s geomet ric model as a basis for building environmental, energy, daylighting, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. This in turn helps our firm design the next generation of high-performance buildings. Because of BIM’s capabilities, we expect that clients w ill continue to refine specific electronic deli verable r equests t o tak e advantage o f the m any b enefits. Owners and facilit y managers ar e able t o r eceive better c oordinated documentation. Change orders can be reduced significantly by identifying spatial conflicts and interference pr ior to the star t of construction. Additionally, the information is available to the owner after design and construction are completed. Our c lients a nd o ur p artners i n t he industry realize the value and pot ential of Building Information Modeling. We see it as the futur e and w ill c ontinue utilizing BIM’s seamless, integrated desig n approach t o deli ver inno vative and efficient solutions to our clients.
