Harnessing BIM to Design a Better Water Treatment Plant
Webinar Series: Harnessing BIM to Design a Better Water Treatment Plant
Designing a water treatment plant is one of the challenging engineering design sectors, requiring smooth collaboration between multidisciplinary teams and efficient management of several regulatory and economic aspects. Using traditional 2D design workflow may not be the optimal solution and could lead to miss-estimated time, effort, quantities, and cost.
Watch our exclusive five-part webinar series to learn how you can leverage the power of BIM to design and develop high-performing sustainable water treatment plants.
Space Planning and Schematic Design with OpenBuildings Designer
Available On-Demand
Laying out spaces, planning, and zoning are vital in every project to maximize the functional utilization of space, optimize resources, and develop a sustainable campus. Integrating the digital context of the site, surrounding, and utility information with digital twins helps site planners make informed decisions in the early phases of project delivery.
In this session, we will discuss and demonstrate the capabilities of information management and site modeling strategies in OpenBuildings Designer to develop schematic layouts for water treatment plants.
Designing Sustainable Buildings for Water Treatment Facilities Using OpenBuildings Designer
Available On-Demand
OpenBuildings Designer and OpenBuildings Energy Simulator are used to design and visualize buildings and simulate their energy performance for sustainability. By selecting suitable materials during the design stage, applying green roofs and solar shading, there is a greater potential to reduce the energy demands of buildings.
Join this session to learn about and discuss the capabilities of OpenBuildings Designer to design and deliver building assets in water treatment plants from concept to completion with improved sustainability.
Structural Detailing and Fabrication for Water Treatment Plants
Available On-Demand
ProStructures enables detailers and fabricators to open design models of water treatment plants, created using OpenBuildings Designer, and add accurate detailing for steel structures and rebars for concrete during construction. The construction stage can be accelerated by delivering quality outputs for manufacturing directly from 3D models. The models can be synchronized with Digital Twins for 4D construction simulation.
This session will cover the capabilities of ProStructures for construction detailing and downstream workflows.
Smarter Project Collaboration for Delivering Water Treatment Plants
Available On-Demand
Delivering water treatment plant projects involves the coordination of complex tasks and collaboration across multi-discipline teams. Bentley’s Digital Twins (iTwins) are used by architects and engineers to securely share information, perform design reviews, and manage and resolve potential design issues that may arise in the early stages of the project.
In this session, we will demonstrate the latest OpenBuildings Designer capabilities of synchronizing 3D models with Bentley iTwin in the cloud.
User Success Story: Jacobs Uses Digital Delivery to Ensure Singapore’s Water Sustainability and Resilience
Available On-Demand
PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency, is building Tuas Water Reclamation Plant (TWRP) to provide a treatment facility for industrial and household wastewater designed to maximize water recovery and reduce energy consumption. PUB appointed Jacobs as the detailed design and construction supervision consultant, responsible for integrating digital information across multiple packages throughout design and construction.
Hear from Jacobs on how they embarked on attaining world-class digital project delivery while overcoming complex data management and multidisciplinary collaboration challenges. Learn how they leveraged Bentley software, including OpenBuildings Designer, to create a collaborative digital solution to overcome these challenges while saving 75% in model federation time and reducing over 5% of the forecasted capital expenditure.
Designing a High-Performing Sustainable Water Treatment Plant with BIM
Available On-Demand
Rapid urbanization, severe climate changes, and rising customer demands are placing immense strain on aging water and wastewater facilities, making it imperative for the global water industry to expedite the construction of more efficient, eco-friendly, and resilient water treatment plants. Designing and developing a high-performing sustainable water treatment plant is challenging, requiring smooth collaboration between multidisciplinary teams and efficient management of several regulatory and economic aspects.
Join our exclusive wrap-up session, where our experts will share key takeaways from the webinar series. Hear them on how Building Information Modeling (BIM) helps architects and engineers effectively overcome these challenges while managing the whole life cycle of a water treatment plant, from planning and design to construction and maintenance.
