The General Contractor of the New Extension to Terminal 3 of Rome Fiumicino Airport appointed RIMOND to provide construction support with a specialized BIM Team. The team, which was based on-site, welcomed and evolved existing documentation, including previous models, into a new, highly detailed integrated BIM model.
The BIM model was set up to suit the specific requests coming from on-site activity, by building up a pre-construction model that embedded the essential bridges between as-built surveys, procurement updates, construction tracking and design updates to offer an integrated interface for the MEP works. Over time, the model evolved into the only source of certified shop floor drawings, serving as a pre-installation verification of design consistency through direct 3D control.
This allowed the General Contractor to track the interaction between civil and MEP works, perform updated code consistency, verify procurement data and get the necessary control on subcontractor activity, bill of quantities, reports and submissions. As a unique final source of pre-installation design, the model was then evolved into As-Built source for the entire set of drawings released to the client.
