DIGITAL ENGINEERING

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING

Our whole team of engineers and modellers contribute to the continued development of our Building Information Modelling (BIM) capability and processes within KPM. They strive to employ the latest techniques and approaches, embracing innovation, automation and new ideas to improve efficiency, effectiveness and quality.

All of our projects are delivered in Revit and through BIM 360. We therefore understand thesignificant benefits of working within a 3D cloud basedinteractive platform, with real time model development. This enables our engineers and technical team to collaborate with our colleagues in multi-disciplinary projects, external consultants, and stakeholders to drive efficiency in the development of the design and project delivery, and the transition into the construction stage.

We have invested in a dedicated automation team who continue to develop automation tools and plug-ins to assist on the delivery of our projects in terms of time, efficiency, and quality of our product. All KPM projects are fully coordinated, with clash detections reports prepared, reviewed and actioned at key project stages. This is done in consideration of the architectural, structural and other discipline models, ensuring that risers, ceiling voids and MEP rooms are optimised whilst giving the necessary consideration for access and maintenance.

BIM, digital twin and other digital engineering protocols are embraced by the whole team at KPM.

DIGITAL TWIN

Through our automation team we are investing in developing our digital twin capability including our own front-end interface and dashboards for monitoring and presenting accumulated data and live reporting.

We create our own digital representation of a real-world asset or group of assets. Offering the capability to model and analyse real world systems and how they can be influenced or adapted to change over time. Our digital twin models are developed in conjunction with available and historical data and advanced analytics and artificial intelligence algorithms, and are used for the following purposes:

■ Investigate operational problems
■ Generate missing data
■ Improve operational decisions
■ Provide scenario simulation
■ Facilitate decision making
■ Optimise sustainability

We utilise digital twin analysis at various levels depending upon the task or specific metric we are assessing. Assessments can start at individual component level and increase to asset, community and finally city level all of which are considered to have equal significance in so far as they are connected.

DFMA / MMC

At KPM we are committed to constructibility using Design for Manufacture and the adoption of modern methods of construction (MMC). We have in-house experts with a sustained history in the development of constructibility and off-site construction building techniques with a focus on efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Our service offers practical advice to clients and other project stakeholders on potential construction engineering solutions on the modularity, construction methodology, logistics, and erection sequence of projects. This is then integrated and reflected within our core engineering design solutions.

Our approach to MMC focuses on off-site construction techniques and innovative alternatives to traditional building practices. The approach and service is intended to identify opportunities for factory built modules, providing benefits to improve efficiency, reduce construction durations and labour costs and reduce waste in the construction process. This is also inclusive of assessment of materials including durability, performance and embodied carbon.

KPM successfully implement DFMA and MMC as part of the design process to ensure cost and time efficiency from concept to completion.

MODERN METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION IN USE

KPM have incorporated MMC into numerous projects including MOC Headquarters and Island House
