Along Came Hurricane Sandy…October 29, 2012

Special Initiative for Rebuilding & Resiliency (SIRR)

• Shut down 6 hospitals

• 2,000 Patients evacuated

• 4,600 beds out of service

• NYC SIRR developed and release June 2013

• Hospitals within 500 Year Flood Level by 2030

• Central Boiler Plant & Service Tunnels Interconnected

• Air Conditioning Equipment on Emergency Power

• Building Raised

• All Major Equipment Raised

• High Tension 13.2 kV Switchgear

• Domestic Water & Fire Pumps

• Fuel Oil Pumps

• Medical Air & Medical Vacuum Pumps

• Emergency Street Connections Required

• Goals – Complete the construction documents phase with a

complete, buildable package.

• No change orders

• No RFIs

• BIM is critical for design coordination amongst the team

• Design team worked in Revit through DD process

• At 100% DD, model was turned over to trade managers who

continue into working construction documents in fabrication

software

• At end of CD, shop drawings complete, major equipment pre-

purchased

• Building is constructed using fully coordinated model

• Historical Shop Drawings not necessary

Example – Use of BIM on Exterior Curtain Wall Design

31

Mock-Up

• View model for accessibility issues (“NO FLY ZONES”)

• Improves final access to equipment

• Reduces need for manual clash detection (Navisworks)

32

Other Uses of BIM During Design Process

33

Owner’s Goals for BIM – Post Construction

1. Support Preventive/Predictive Maintenance Program

Facilities Operations

2. Provide information on MEP and IT systems (to support

Shutdowns Planning, Capacity Analysis or As-Built Survey

Facilities Operations; Information Technology

3. Track Space and Space Utilization

Strategic Planning

4. Track Deficiencies for Statement of Condition (SOC)

Facilities Regulatory Compliance

5. Support a Continuous Condition Assessment Program

Infrastructure Planning

6. Provide visibility for other departments into performance of MEP

systems – BMS Integration Required

Biomed/IT

• Support

preventive/predictive

maintenance program

• Integrating with CMMS

• Provide As-built,

submittal &

Commissioning data

34

Owner’s Goals for BIM – Facilities Operations

• Provide information on

MEP and IT Systems

• Accurate as-built

documents

• “See through the walls”

• Find valves and identify

shutdown locations

35

Owner’s Goals for BIM – Facilities Operations & IT

• Track space and space

utilization

• Over 10 million SF

36

Owner’s Goals for BIM – Strategic & Space Planning

• Support a continuous

conditions assessment

• Life Cycle Analysis

• Utility Capacity

• Future Planning

37

Owner’s Goals for BIM – Infrastructure Planning

• Provide visibility into

performance of MEP

systems

• BMS Integration

What’s Next?

1 a) Improved Asset Data Collection Process

Track assets in Fabrication BIM model (or excel) prior to construction

Collect field data against inventory.

1 b) Improved Asset Data Collection Process, linked to 3D Viewer

At end of the project, models are delivered on mobile device for field viewing

by operations team. Model is not connected to asset data, and doesn’t show

system relationships.

2 a) Integrated 3D Model for DHK Project

Architect develops/maintains simplified BIM model, tailored for FM needs

throughout project.

BIM model connects with existing NYP Facilities Systems.

2 b) Integrated 3D Model, with enterprise-wide BIM capability

Same as 2a), plus NYP commitment to maintain model on a long-term basis
