Beginning of Pegler, Yorkshire Fittings

Frank Pegler

Fred Birchall

This company was founded by these people in 1899 and only 5 years later the Belmont works were built.

The merger of two companies

•Prestex(Including Valves)•Terrier•Performa

•Xpress•Tectite•Kuterlite•Endex

Bought out by AALBERTS

INDUSTRIES

Pegler Yorkshire now produce a large variety of different fittings, valves, taps, TRV’s and HIU’s

Pegler Yorkshire A large company in the

Plumbing and valves market sector.

Pegler Yorkshire have 5 manufacturing sites in Leeds, Doncaster, Budapest, Jiangmen and Saint-denis.

Due to providing a large amount of products to Public buildings, its need to produce BIM models to provide information for architects.

Projects that I have contributed to

A variety of Modelling and Technical drawing tasks which have range from:

New Adaption's Revisions

Carrying out CFD on some of those models to determine size changes and their outcome.

Testing new tools and Pipes like 45º REMs jaw which is newly produced and powder coated aluminium tube.

Testing equipment During this time on placement I have helped by testing

equipment from other manufacturers.

The 45º REMS tools.

Also I have tested some subjects from suppliers as well.

The powder coated Aluminium tubing.

Training I have Received I attended numerous off-site training.

The first was 2 – days of training for BIM modelling.

I also went to BSria which was a half day course of networking and being BIM level 2 compliant for the upcoming 2016 deadline.

BSria are a company that liaise between new standards and Ensuring companies are working towards those standards.

During the last month I attended the Annual Autodesk conference which entailed a day of presentations about the products and updates hosted by Symetri.

Software's I have used Autodesk Revit (Modelling, Coding) Autodesk Inventor (Modelling, ipart) Autodesk Vault (File Management) CFD Simulation (CFD) Solidworks (Modelling) Max (ERP System) Excel (Data, Databases) Word (Test Reports, Reports) PowerPoint (Presentation, Data)

BIM Building Information Modelling – The use of different assets

(information/parameters) through the use of models and information drops to make the building design – production –life cycle more efficient and coordinated throughout the different stages.

BIM Models/Objects Due to providing a large amount of products to

Public buildings, its need to produce BIM models to provide information for architects.

This requires being BIM level 2 complaint by 2016.

Our BIM Models are Revit Family files (.rfa).

Currently they are only geometry without any background information.

How Far We have Got The Entire Range of Tectite has been completed. Copper Xpress has been produced however the other

materials are still to be modelled. The Valves in mainly the press fit category are being

modelled and the push fit versions are being fixed or checked.

Complications of the models

These models can need different amount of programming depending on if they are single families or for a routed system

Routing System for Revit If they are basic models then the amount of programming

can be very little but the same amount of data when it is acquired.

A more complicated method

The more advanced programmed models can even have their own messages built within

Collecting Dimensions Throughout the BIM

Project I have had to measure a large range of valves and fittings.

This dimensional archive is then been used for the models.

My Contribution to the Company

I have been the key part of the development of the BIM Project.

I have run various CFD simulations.

I also helped renovate the Lab for future demos to customers.

Learning the methods Using the amount of different code

and combinations of code I have been able to start learning other code languages like Java in my spare time.

Due to being the only person in the office using Revit I have been problem solving and finding a way through the errors by myself.

I have become more independent when I need to be enabling me to concentrate on my work.

Other Things I have gained Improved my skills and methods. Experienced industry from a different

views and learnt about other industries as well.

An enhanced CV. Government and other industry links. A years experience.
