Project Overview
This project entailed the construction of two brand-new orthopaedic theatres, located on the ground floor of the hospital extension, with an overhead first-floor plant area providing utilities to the suites. The building was fully delivered using a BIM workflow.
Coordination & BIM Workflow
As a BIM-enabled project, the construction team received 3D models from design stage onwards. ENGDOC provided the following services:
- BIM documentation for the main contractor
- Point cloud laser scanning at multiple stages (post-1st-fix for above ceiling services; post-2nd-fix for final service locations)
- Detailed as-built drawing and modelling, capturing critical concealed components such as volume control dampers, fire dampers and valves in the service voids.
Accurate As-Built Drawings
Given the critical nature of hospital theatres, it was imperative that the final handover model and drawings matched exactly what was installed onsite. ENGDOC’s laser-scans were incorporated into the Revit model and revisions made to ensure alignment with actual installation conditions
Outcome & Key Highlights
- Fully BIM-coordinated theatre block in a live hospital environment (no major disruption)
- Millimetre accurate as-built model and drawings for future maintenance and asset management
- Demonstrated efficiency and confidence-building through clear coordination between trades and consulting parties
