WEMBLEY STADIUM COMMERCIAL ENVIRONS PROJECT
 |
Overview:
The project has been developed by Quintain Estates who worked with Costain Limited to establish the
construction implications.
The project began in 2008 and will take most of the subsequent decade to complete.
The Client/Contractor
Costain is an established civil engineering and construction company with a particular reputation for
Quintain to work out the implications of a large project such as Wembley.
Background
Costain has been active in the use of modeling to improve the way in which they go about the
interpretation of design and delivery concepts, the proofing of design to ensure it is fully consistent
and integrated, and the next step of using the model to help understand the best way of proceeding
with the build phase.
They have taken a professional approach to the use of modeling and are able to show considerable
financial benefits from its application. Synchro was reviewed by the top level management team who
saw the synergy between what the software did and the methods that Costain believed delivered positive results.
Specification
Costain selected the Synchro software application for a number of reasons:
- The software was easily able to absorb an enormous land mass with its different buildings and site infrastructure and display it back in a flexible way
- Its ability to link the dynamic scene with different timelines and display the ongoing consequences of different strategies for building out the various structures
- Its ability to bring in all the logistics implications of the programme to help position cranes, roads, parking and earth stores
- The opportunity to compare visually different strategies to understand flaws and wins for one route over another
- The screening off or exposure of different parts of the site so that they could be examined in more minute detail when relevant
- Demonstration on split screens and the creation of videos to display what was relevant at specific meetings
Speed and simplicity of the approach.
What Synchro Ltd ProvidedThe conversion of 2D drawings into a 3D model emphasising the use of block models to highlight
activity in different spatial areas.Set up resources such as cranes so they could be assigned to different tasks as applicable.The creation of videos to allow client staff to use, as and when needed.
The client was able to demonstrate effectively to Quintain Estates the justification for its preferred strategy and convinced them that Synchro represented an approach that was to be retained for managing the entire construction programme.
Visualisation of construction methodology has been specified as a requirement for future works on the Wembley project.
