The Year in Infrastructure 2008 - (Page 60) InnovatIon In IndustrIal FacIlItIes DHV Building and Industry Pharmaceutical Production Facility Eindhoven, Netherlands this project’s primary goal was to develop a model of a pharmaceutical production facility for interactive design and engineering. Because space management became the main challenge, solving space and interference problems took the most effort because of all installations having to fit in a relatively small building. Using Bentley’s Building Information Modeling (BIM), the project team created space-management models to solve interferences and collisions and provide contractors with consistent 2D layouts and sections. The BIM software enabled the design team to produce a complex factory in less time with better overall control of the project than by using traditional design methods.

The goal was to prepare detailed designs, general arrangement drawings, working drawings, specifications, and quality-control procedures on materials and works for an airside drainage system. The design of the facility was based on a detailed drainage plan established in the first stage of the project. The design team expected to use spreadsheets and depend heavily on outside consultants for specific inputs. But Mott MacDonald was able to submit scientific reports using Bentley’s SewerGEMS to save untold man-hours. The interoperable capabilities of the 3D modeling software enabled its use across the lifecycle of the project, which reduced time and effort. Bentley’s integrated solutions produced a one-company accountability approach that proved crucial for the success of the project. 2008 bE AwARdS oF ExCEllENCE ALSO NOMINATED IN SpEcIAL cATEgOry: SuSTAININg Our SOcIETy SpEc EcIAL cATE Su c cIET 60
