Session 3.4
An analysis of MEP BIM Maturity
Synopsis: The Auckland City Rail Link (CRL) project has won the Autodesk AEC Excellence Awards 2020, MEP (Building Services) and its automation was one of the strong winning factors. This session will analyze the MEP BIM part of the CRL project, from Rules, Data and Objects points of view, focusing on project specific Design/BIM/Drawing automation and everything around this.Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the key issues and efforts for a mature MEP BIM project.
2. Learn some critical tips and tricks for robust MEP BIM/Drawing production.
3. Some deep analysis of Revit API software tools developed in the CRL, to understand the process of a robust and massively useful API development.Body: The Auckland City Rail Link (CRL) project has won the Autodesk AEC Excellence Awards 2020, MEP (Building Services) and its automation was one of the strong winning factors. The wining verdict says The project-specific Revit API tools”LKA Express Suitedeveloped by Roy Qian (Head of Digital Engineering Building Services, Link Alliance) and his team allowed the project team to create a custom interface for data processing and documentation automation and computational design/modeling such as tunnel services, saving 3000 hours in design time. Its ease-of-use enables anyoneeven those with limited BIM experienceto start working with it right away.

Theo Agelopoulos, Senior Director, Infrastructure Business Strategy & Marketing, Autodesk said on a conference call with the CRL digital team leads: CRL project ticked every check box for a future BIM project, the project case should be learned by others.
This session will analyze the MEP BIM part of the CRL project, from Rules, Data and Objects points of view, focusing on project specific Design/BIM/Drawing automation and everything around this.
1. The maturity of Revit MEP content (families), to satisfy organized model, data(schedule), drawing production, with smooth multi-use usability and robust maintainability, e.g. Ellumtools for lighting calculation.
2. The maturity of data products, including equipment, fixture, electrical panel schedules and asset data for multiple asset owners.
3. The maturity of 2D and 3D products, drawings, 3D simulation and coordination, photometric accurate rendering.
4. The development and implementation of on-project Revit API software application (10,000+ lines of C# source code).
5. Demonstration of how Rules, Data and Objects integrated together to provide exemplary solutions to a complicated infrastructure project such as CRL.
6. Reflection of lessons learnt for the future.
