Digital Engineering

FHP utilises BIM and Digital Engineering to aid and enhance the design process.

Our Digital Engineering Suite allows us to interact with clients and design teams, enabling real-time coordination and project review on a large format screen.

Using 3D modelling, service coordination becomes more accurate and adds additional benefits such as clash detection, scheduling and material take-off’s. FHP works to full BIM Level 2 standards and use the BSRIA BG06 proforma to produce stage-based design deliverables. Our CAD services can be tailored to individual project requirements, producing 2D, 3D and data-based outputs including 4D & 5D information.

BIM Modelling

BIM modelling represents a key element of our service delivery.

Our Digital Engineers work collaboratively with other members of the design team the development of our models throughout the concept, construction and handover phases.

We follow the PAS1192-2 framework for BIM development and are experienced in delivering models according to a variety of required outputs, we can create simple models with a lower level of development or more complex models consisting of exact equipment sizes and access requirements.

We utilise leading software such as, Autodesk Revit, Revizto, Navisworks and Autodesk BIM 360.

BIM Coordination

At FHP one of the most important goals for the utilisation of BIM is the physical coordination of systems between disciplines. One of our core skills is BIM coordination where we use the latest tools and technology to provide spatially coordinated building services models and can demonstrate this utilising our Digital Engineering Suites.

By creating a model virtually, it allows us to represent all mechanical, electrical and public health components accurately in 3 dimensions were spatial conflicts can be easily identified and addressed prior to work beginning on site.

Our models allow for an enhanced degree of communication and are frequently used in BIM workshops where all stakeholders have gathered to discuss coordination issues.

BIM Level 2

BIM Level 2 is now seen as common practice throughout the private and public sectors, with contractors working on government projects required to operate with a fully collaborative 3D BIM environment.

Our internal standards follow the principles and processes recommended in PAS1192 and all our engineers are fully trained to deliver Level 2 projects.

Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA)

FHP are employed directly by Contractors and Specialist Sub-Contractors and we have the expertise to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and prefabricated construction. We provide BIM solutions that enable mass assembly off-site, in controlled environments, before being transported to site, resulting in shorter construction times, significant cost savings and greater efficiency.

FHP DfMA experience includes prefabricated common bracketry ceiling corridor & and riser module racks, plantroom skids, modular plantrooms, prefabricated bathroom pods & utility cupboards.

Clash Detection

Conflict reporting and clash detection play an important part in our service delivery role at FHP.

Whilst we use clash avoidance techniques during our BIM modelling, we undertake clash detection exercises to ensure a coordination issue that would traditionally be found later on site, with a likely time and cost impact, can be resolved virtually before any construction work starts.

Using leading coordination software Autodesk Navisworks Manage, we use clash detection to find both hard and soft clashes to identify if there are components occupying the same space or if access to equipment is being restricted.

Clash Detection Reports are created, and we work closely with the design team to resolve the design conflicts during the relevant design stage.

Construction Drawings

Through the creation of the 3D model, FHP’s skilled team of Engineers can generate a fully coordinated model to produce fully dimensioned construction drawings.

“We engaged the services of FHP on our SEGRO Park project for the design and co-ordination of the Mechanical Services installation. The design had to be undertaken in Revit within a common environment, with complicated interactions across multiple interfaces. The FHP team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the design process, offering multiple solutions to the varying issues we came across. We would recommend their services to anyone looking for a single solution to complicated engineering services design.”

Director
