Overview

Venues pair a long-span roof with a seating bowl and concourses that have to move large crowds safely. The model coordinates roof structure, services and crowd routes together, with maintenance access planned in from the start.

Services Used
Layer by Layer

What each discipline models

  1. L.01Architectural

    Seating bowls, concourses, facade and public areas.

  2. L.02Structural

    Long-span roof, trusses, tiers and framing.

  3. L.03MEPF

    Ventilation, lighting, power, plumbing and fire protection.

  4. L.04Civil / Site

    Access, external circulation and utilities.

  5. L.05Coordination

    Roof structure, services, crowd routes and maintenance access.

Typical Challenges

Where these projects go wrong, and how the model prevents it

  1. C.01

    Services have to pass through a long-span roof

    Approach

    Roof trusses and services are modeled together and clash-tested so routes run with the structure.

  2. C.02

    Concourses must stay clear for crowds

    Approach

    Crowd routes are kept in the model as clear zones and checked against services and fit-out.

  3. C.03

    High-level services need safe maintenance access

    Approach

    Access routes to roof and high-level services are modeled and checked before construction.

Coordination Focus
  • Services routed through and around roof trusses
  • Crowd routes kept clear through concourses
  • Maintenance access to roof and high-level services
  • External circulation and utility connections
Deliverables
  • Architectural model of bowl, concourses and facade
  • Structural model of roof, trusses, tiers and framing
  • Coordinated MEPF models for each trade
  • Site model of access, circulation and utilities
  • Federated model with clash reports and a tracked issue log

How the Work Runs

Process

  1. 01

    Brief & inputs

    Drawings, models, standards and templates collected, with scope agreed by discipline and level of detail.

  2. 02

    Discipline modeling

    Each discipline modeled on the project's shared coordinate system, to your naming and template standards.

  3. 03

    Federation & clash cycles

    Models federated and clash-tested, with issues tracked through resolution with the responsible trades.

  4. 04

    Sign-off & handover

    Issue log closed out and coordinated models and drawings handed over, with a change log.
