As outlined above, the scale of government procurement Limited 2017
allows significant value to be created through the adoption of Project
programme wide approaches rather than considering a series of Manager
unrelated, single projects.
In a traditional, one off project, each asset is modelled, project

proposed solution to a certain level of detail, which is then
developed by the contractor in conjunction with their supply Architect

chain. Typically the degree of repetition at project level is low and engineer engineer surveyor

only warrants highly detailed analysis of a few key areas.


That the design development (project knowledge) often takes
place in isolation from the supply chain is a significant source of
missed opportunities to optimise the design and leverage best in
class construction knowledge. Increasing
In addition, most of the construction knowledge sits within the Main

of rework and duplication of effort.
As a result, any benefits that are generated by innovation

Data analysis + visualisation

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is, fundamentally,


a collaborative way of working that is powered by digital
technology.
By optimising the use of the existing governmental
department BIM libraries, enhanced with components specific
to the early platform developments, there will be a huge amount
of cross-programme data available through site-specific models
uploaded to the Common Data Environment (CDE).
Data visualisation allows a range of data sources to be
brought together to inform strategic planning and decision
making. These visualisation techniques work at a variety of
scales, so certain techniques allow whole project analysis,
while others allow the optimisation of individual components or
assembly processes.
By creating highly detailed data sets (dealing in, for instance,
numbers of individual components and activities rather than
square metres of floor area) the level of transparency and control
is dramatically increased.
Aggregating data from multiple sites into a single, project-
wide view provides clients with a level of insight that was
previously unattainable.
For instance, visualising interaction between various work-
faces so that knock effects of delays in one area can be better
understood, facilitates:

ƒƒ A more holistic view of project-wide progress;


ƒƒ Strategic prioritisation and optimisation of work faces /
packages;
ƒƒ Smoothing of cash flow or labour; Day light
ƒƒ Smoothing demand for individual components through just in
time delivery, reducing stress on the supply chain, enhancing Darkness: street lights present and lit

ƒƒ Optimisation of resources by understanding how operatives Darkness: street light present but unlit

GIS enabled BIM

The nature of large infrastructure projects, particularly horizontal GIS – Web based BIM – Web based

infrastructure including rails and highways, necessitates the


use of both GIS (geographical information system) and BIM
technology and data, on a day to day basis.
GIS systems typically provide the capability to overlay nation ‘one click’
wide or network-wide geo-spatial 2D data, while BIM is more
typically used for project-specific 3D design and construction
models. 2D 3D

Component libraries libraries for Highways England
Smart Motorways Programme

In autumn 2015, the first initial version of the Highways England


BIM library was developed.
It is worth noting that the library contains plant and vehicles
commonly used in construction and maintenance. This allows
a number of scenarios to be tested as part of the collaborative
modelling workshop described later in this document e.g.
ensuring that safe access and operational efficiency can be
demonstrated throughout the life cycle of a proposed asset.
The components are arranged in aisles comprising:

ƒƒ Vehicles;
ƒƒ Small signage;
ƒƒ Vehicle restraint systems (VRS);
ƒƒ Technology (communications);
ƒƒ Electrical (including lighting);
ƒƒ Large signage;
ƒƒ Road markings; Gantry site

ƒƒ Road sections; Portal - man

ƒƒ Gantries;

The components have then been grouped into assemblies to (Emergency Cantilever -
Refuge Area) man access

proposed asset are considered.
Assemblies include:

maintenance activities are included within the model to ensure


that these are allowed for in the design phase;
ƒƒ The geometry is highly parametric so as the assemblies are
dropped into a base model they will automatically adapt to
the curvature of the road, local topography etc.
ƒƒ The parametric geometry extends to individual structural
elements allowing assemblies to be considered as families
of components that include minor adaptations to localised
context.

Parametric components, created in this way facilitate the


adoption of mass customisation, whereby the benefits of a
standard library of BIM objects can be allied with the benefits of
context-specific bespoke design.

ƒƒ Sub-assemblies - Comprehensive understanding of
relationships between component parts, such as their
interoperability as of part of larger assemblies. This includes
the details of the specific assembly processes that are
required;
ƒƒ Component parts – Identification of a parts library, that can
populate the sub-assemblies and combine to deliver the
performance requirements of the product assemblies. This
includes detailed knowledge of parts such as performance,
costs and availability.

Components example - excerpt
Mass customisation cont’d from the ‘virtual warehouse’ of
components for
GlaxoSmithKline’s ‘Factory in a
Box’ system

This strategy will apply the thinking that underpins existing,


successful models of mass customisation to the building design
and construction industry and will take on each of these three
work strands in order to determine and document;

ƒƒ Product assemblies – Identification and documentation of the


functional typologies of spaces, departments and facilities
that define publicly procured built assets across the most
high value sectors. This will work strand will provide briefing
and guidance for the further work necessary to standardise
and optimise spatial configurations across typologies;
ƒƒ Sub-assemblies – Identification of common constructional
and operational Sub-Assemblies that can serve multiple
typologies. This will include architectural, structural and MEP
systems. This workstream will provide briefing and guidance
for the further work necessary to standardise and optimise
sub-assemblies to suit the Product Assemblies;
ƒƒ Component parts – Identification and documentation of
common component parts that can serve multiple Sub
Assemblies. This will work strand will provide briefing
and guidance for the further work necessary to create a
standardised parts library, including the means of cataloguing
criteria for verification and validation required for maintaining
it.

Each of these three strands will be underpinned by the use of


BIM Level 2 standards, and in particular the use of Uniclass 2015
as a classification system to capture facilities, spaces, systems
and products (this is described in more detail in the next section).

Rules-based context analysis on a section of highway

The parametric models described in the previous section are a

Photos from collaborative
Collaborative modelling sessions sessions showing use of models
and VR for stakeholder
engagement

The rapid engineering model can be used as the basis for


collaborative workshops to interrogate and refine the initial
proposal.
Such is the speed of the digital workflows that is possible
to update the model live in response to challenges or inputs
from the assembled team. It is therefore essential that the
collaborative session includes a sufficiently broad range of
views, with experts in specific fields or parts of a project life
cycle to be represented (typically design, construction, operation
and maintenance).
These sessions can therefore facilitate extremely rapid
decision making on the fly, or can generate the need for specific
studies which will be taken away from the session and developed
in more detail or with a specific set of stakeholders.
Comments and contributions of all stakeholders tracked
and recorded directly onto the model, which as well as being
documented can be issued at the end of each session as a
record of the design development.
The final model therefore becomes an extremely well
articulated brief for the next stage of more detailed design, and
captures considerations for every stage of the project life cycle.

We need to move away from bespoke design and construction


and move to standardised, highly productive manufactured
solutions.
This can be delivered through a 3 step process:

1. Design and procure in an hour


2. Manufacture and assemble in days
3. Benchmark portfolio performance over years

Step 1 - Design + procure in an hour

Digital configurator

A digital configurator is a database of standard components and


elements, with customisable options specific to the asset type.
For example: Ikea use a similar tool for their kitchens with,a
range of user-customisable options (worktops, appliances,
doors, handles) based on standard mass-manufactured
carcasses that are scalable to suit kitchen size and layout. 1. Design + procure
BMW allow prospective customers to specify a number of in an hour
options - colours, trim, engine options etc. - based on a range of
standard model chassis.
The intelligent algorithm within the configurator will offers the
relevant options consistent with the asset type. 2. Manufacture +
For example, choosing a type of road will limit the signage, assemble in
vehicle restraints, technology and gantries to those relevant to a days
road type.
These features will differ from e.g. a Smart Motorways project
to piece of work on an existing ‘A’ road. 3. Benchmark
The algorithm will allow the asset to be configured based on portfolio
the surrounding network, length, local topography, number of performance
lanes etc. and include relevant ancillary features relevant to the over years
asset type.

Prototyping

The transformation programme aspirations, and the analysis done


to date, suggest that the transformation programme should be
delivered using a limited number of relatively simple components,
developed in such a way that they can be procured at low cost but
consistent quality from a wide supply chain.
Once the repeatable elements have been identified and
described, the BIM library objects can be used collaboratively by
the project team to establish an installation sequence that is much
more like factory assembly than traditional construction, creating
the potential for: Virtual + physical prototypes for
Elizabeth Line passenger tunnel
lining
ƒƒ Standardising working;
ƒƒ Capturing and incrementally improvement of best in class
methodologies;
ƒƒ Using a non-traditional workforce specifically trained in
installing the proposed solution.

For certain critical and highly repeated elements, the benefits of


refining and perfecting them are enormous; any improvements that
are made as a result of this process will be multiplied across the
programme. Any issues that arise through failure to prototype will
conversely appear numerous times.
In the development of industrialised products, the purpose of a
prototype is:

ƒƒ Testing and trialling a new design;


ƒƒ Testing and optimising installation or construction sequences;
ƒƒ Identifying and opportunities to refine the and improve the
proposed design, installation etc. before commencing large
scale manufacture.

Prototyping cont’d

The ultimate aim is risk reduction, by learning as much as possible


from the prototype in a controlled environment, off the project
critical path, to inform the development of the production run of
the system or element.
There are varying degrees of prototype, which provide differing
levels of feedback and learning but have commensurate levels of
time and cost associated with them, including:

ƒƒ Digital (virtual) prototypes;


ƒƒ Physical prototype

Virtual prototypes

These are developed in sophisticated software packages that


allow a wide range of analysis to be carried out without ever
producing a physical element. Product design software allows
the digital components to have real properties such as density to
allow analysis including:

ƒƒ Mass and centre of gravity (for e.g. craneage studies);


ƒƒ Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA);
ƒƒ Computational fluid dynamics.

The result is an holistic virtual build can be iteratively used to refine


the solution by:

ƒƒ Developing a model of a sample section of the initial industrial


design concept;
ƒƒ Developing the model to include construction sequence,
program, supply chain and resulting costing modelling;
ƒƒ Filtering the model to determine quantities, program, site labour
histograms etc.;
ƒƒ Assessing the outcomes of the virtual build against local
benchmark norms for cost and against aesthetic and quality
issues;
ƒƒ Considering modifications to the components on the
component deployment and assembly techniques in response.

Physical prototypes

This is a full or partial section of an element or assembly, usually at number of projects
full scale and using the final proposed materials. A prototype can + sectors
be used to test the physical characteristic of an element or system,
including installation. Prototypes are typically created for learning
purposes only, not for deploying in a live environment. Significant
issues may be identified in the creation of a prototype.
The benefits of creating physical prototypes are particularly
high for large scale programmes project - before embarking on a
process of delivering a major piece of infrastructure, a relatively
small prototype could be used to:

ƒƒ Demonstrate the delivery system in practice;


ƒƒ Optimise the assembly sequence and create installation /
health + safety guides;
ƒƒ Provide detailed data regarding assembly to inform
construction programmes, logistics planning etc. with a
relatively high degree of certainty (compared to current efforts
which are necessarily based on assumptions);
ƒƒ Provide training for assembly crews, crane operatives etc.

Benefits include:

ƒƒ Better, more targeted engagement of suppliers as the required


end product will be extremely well understood and defined;
ƒƒ More objective assessment of suppliers as the quality of their
products can be measured against a known standard;
ƒƒ Greater consistency across work faces - labour teams will be
able to work on multiple sites the methods of construction will
be identical ;
ƒƒ Assembly teams can be trained using the prototype before
going on site, productivity on site will be high from day 1 (no
learning curve on actual construction)
ƒƒ Greater opportunity for measuring progress on site, creating
feedback loops and driving continual improvement.

Process prototyping

Process prototypes are well established in other industries


such as aerospace, manufacturing or defence. Those sectors
rely on virtual prototypes to verify and validate processes prior
the physical commission of the equipment. The virtual process
prototype allows:

ƒƒ Rapid testing of different manufacturing sequences under a


full scale production scenario;
ƒƒ Optimum utilisation of resources, material and equipment;
ƒƒ Elimination of physical collisions with civil structure; Virtual prototype within the

ƒƒ Replacement of expensive full scale prototypes;

ƒƒ Optimization of design for manufacture / assembly (Design

ƒƒ Bespoke tooling, jigs and fixtures can be identified

Companies in those industries have benefited from using virtual


prototypes to optimise their manufacturing processes before the
physical installation and achieving, in some cases, significant
figures:

ƒƒ Reduction of 25% on annual operational costs;


ƒƒ Reduction of 80% on capital equipment;
ƒƒ Increase utilisation of resources by 20%;
ƒƒ De-risked strategy through simulation techniques;
ƒƒ Part count reduced by 30%;

The use of an industrialised approach allows the supply chain


to be treated very differently than in traditional construction.

enhanced by ensuring that manufactured products can be


assembled by low skilled personnel, making the supply chain as
wide (and therefore as competitive) as possible; this may extend
to non-construction companies.
The diagrams on the right are a typical output of an
assessment of the components required to create a roll out
programme. This assessment could be developed specifically
for the transformation project at the next stage (as part of the
standardisation and optimisation exercise).
In particular, the ability to develop components using low Complex Simple

skilled labour could facilitate the use of prisoner population


manufacturing capability, or e.g. using the workforce in Scotland
who traditionally work in the oil + gas sector.
Once the design analysis is complete, it will be necessary
to start identifying supply chain partners for the delivery of the
scheme. This assessment may be far-ranging and will consider
components in terms of:

ƒƒ Weight;
ƒƒ Complexity.

processes, benefits could include:

Adopting DfMA strategy will necessitate a significant growth in
manufacturing skills, requiring new apprenticeships and training
regimes.

logistics planning etc. Traditional + off-site Factory + assembly
This could be further enhanced by ensuring that manufactured
products can be assembled by low skilled personnel.
This could certainly facilitate the use of apprentices as
described in HM Treasury’s report ‘Fixing the Foundations’.
This approach could also make use of lower skilled, local
labour on individual site, to carry out standardised tasks
alongside more skilled operatives.
Large scale infrastructure programmes offer the potential for
using existing or enhanced manufacturing capability; delivery
systems could be designed to use simple but highly repeated
components that could be made by very low skilled operatives.

Advanced construction training cont’d

As well as increasing the productivity of operatives, these


methods offer the possibility of using low skilled operatives to
deliver high quality buildings.
Bryden Wood have many years of experience in using
unskilled labour to create quite complex projects. For the
Heathrow and Gatwick Pier segregations modules the initial
projects were assembled using traditional site based personnel,
relocated to a factory. However, as the installation sequences
became optimised and better documented, we were able to take
unemployed people with no previous experience and train them
to assemble these modules. The result for the client was a labour
cost that was reduced by 75%.
For the GlaxoSmithKline ‘Factory in a Box’ we have
successfully used non-construction operatives (ex-Army
servicemen) to deliver the project. During the assembly process
17% of the operational hours were expended on briefing, training
etc. but the project was delivered with a 60% programme saving
a 75% reduction in workforce.
These training programmes can be extended beyond
construction operatives (how to build a facility) to staff (how to
work in and operate the facility). For example, for GSK we have
developed a virtual induction – operatives ‘walk’ through the
model, select appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
and answer questions on safety before they can enter their work
area.
By ensuring that the correct information is available directly
when required, there will be significant benefits in terms of
operative safety and productivity.

Data driven quality checking

The use of point cloud surveys allows pre-coordination checks


to be carried out between the as built context and elements that
have yet to be installed.
For the tunnel lining to the Elizabeth Line stations automated
analysis was developed whereby point cloud surveys from Automated colour filtering comparing ‘as built’
point cloud survey data against ‘as designed’
completed sections of the tunnel were combined with and BIM model to identify out of tolerance areas and
compared to the as designed model for compliance validation. setting out a strategy for overcoming the
The variance between the two models is colour filtered as non-conformance.
shown in the images on the right, showing areas where:

ƒƒ The as built tunnel is within acceptable tolerance;


ƒƒ The tunnel is out of tolerance, but this can be accommodated
by minor, local adjustments to the components;
ƒƒ Where the out of tolerance is unacceptable and will require
local adjustment to the tunnel (scabbling back).

Outcomes and benefits include:

ƒƒ Issues such as out-of-tolerance or non-compliant installation


identified and documented as construction progresses;
ƒƒ Pro-active management and control of issues identified rather
than site operatives unilaterally deciding on a course of action
(e.g. forcing elements to fit, or locally modifying elements
without proper management / design / documentation and
understanding knock on effects);
ƒƒ Precise coordination of elements that are still in design stage
with the actual as built context in which they will be installed;
ƒƒ Ability to mass customise off site fabricated elements to a suit
as-built structure (for precise installation);
ƒƒ Reduced delays (and knock on effects of teams being unable
to progress) leading to greater programme certainty;
ƒƒ Reduced rework;
ƒƒ Increased productivity;
ƒƒ Better documentation of as-built asset for future maintenance,
refurbishment or re-purposing;
ƒƒ Ability to adopt DfMA in a wide range of contexts that might
otherwise be prohibitively complicated.

Data driven manufacture

Linking modelling tools direct to manufacturing processes is a


very powerful way of increasing productivity by eliminating e.g.
the need to output and check drawings, reduce the possibility of
errors being introduced and facilitating mass customisation.
The manufacture of the complex moulds for the tunnel lining Above:
sections to the Elizabeth Line stations was undertaken by CNC Authoring software component ‘tree’ showing
(computer numerical control) milling machines linked directly to nesting of assemblies and sub assemblies

The Model Wall

MAP DATA MODEL


NAVIS

The Model wall use cases include:

ƒƒ STATs model - services (gas, electric etc.)


ƒƒ Visibility of trial hole results
ƒƒ Critical path analysis:
ƒƒ Understand what the critical path activities are, as well
as the ‘nearly critical path activities’.
ƒƒ Understand what has to be done today/ this week to
stop an impact on the critical path

‘Mission control’

Data sources:
The previous sections have shown how data can be captured
and processed from the smallest scale (individual materials) to
the largest (nationwide GIS).
The use of highly standardised BIM libraries, enhanced with
data gathered through the virtual and physical prototyping
stages, will create a rich information benchmark that can be Input types:
analysed as described in earlier sections.
The use of standardised solutions at the scale and
geographic diversity of the government estate, combined with
Positioning Weather Activity Active Active email 3D
the open and collaborative ways of working, offers the chance Record Input Comms Verification
take this further and create an exemplar project controls system
for the BIM-enabled industry.
By combining all of the available data sets, bridging the
traditional boundaries (physical and imagined) between ‘the site’
and ‘the factory’ a data flow would link manufacturing centres to Text Speech
the construction zone.
High quality, accurate data would be used from a range of
existing sources including:

ƒƒ O peratives - activity recording using GPS enabled smart


phones with custom apps;
ƒƒ Vehicles - GPS tracking for all construction vehicles, Data collection categories:
recording all delivery journeys as well as on site activity; Active
ƒƒ Mesh-network enabled CCTV monitoring system using ƒƒ Participants send info about activity
ƒƒ Detailed but less robust
balloons;
ƒƒ Drone technology for image and video capture; Passive
ƒƒ Digital weather stations / sensors monitoring air and ground ƒƒ Participants activity is monitored
conditions; ƒƒ Less detailed but more robust
ƒƒ Photogrammetry / laser scanning for site topography;
ƒƒ Live traffic reporting;
ƒƒ Weather satellite data and services.

‘Mission control’ cont’d

‘Mission control’ will use the data capture an analysis to provide


targeted communications to the project team and operatives
across the site including:

ƒƒ B etter project planning prior to construction through detailed


scenario studies;
ƒƒ Data-rich, visual feedback to assist project planning decision
making;
ƒƒ Accurate benchmarking of carbon footprint before
construction and using it as a driver for project planning;
ƒƒ Simulation of unusual/ extreme events, their potential impacts
and possible mitigation;
ƒƒ Familiarisation of the monitoring system that will be used
during construction;
ƒƒ Long range forecasts for factory production with long lead
time;
ƒƒ Weekly plans with detailed activity schedules;
ƒƒ Daily updates to site operatives for optimum deployment of
workforce;
ƒƒ Hourly updates with weather warnings;
ƒƒ Real time redirection of deliveries to avoid traffic or to hold
points to ease congestion at site entrances. Information Change Diary Delivery
Bulletins to mobile Instructions / Notifications Instruction via
device Warning mobile device
This would be used for more agile and responsive project
controls, linking suppliers, logistics and sites in a highly
organised network.
Integrating live reporting from subcontractors and suppliers
would facilitate:

ƒƒ Higher productivity;
ƒƒ etter levelling of supplier workload;
B
ƒƒ Just in time delivery;
ƒƒ Fewer on site movements;
ƒƒ Reduced waste.
