The McConnell Dowell and Eastland Port teams used the digital engineering tool Revisto and some creative thinking to trim three months off the original programme during the planning (ECI) stage of the Wharf 7 Upgrade project.
During the six-month value engineering period the McConnell Dowell Digital Engineering team developed a 3D digital BIM model of the project in Revisto which was then used to review the scope, method and programme to maximise efficiencies, save time, money and reduce environmental impacts.
The programme, which was developed in collaboration with Eastland Port to be as lean as possible, cleverly coordinates machinery and the multiple crews so they can work on the relatively small site simultaneously and safely.
The digital model was used to ‘virtually’ work through construction and identify any timing or space conflicts before physical works started. It made it much easier to plan how the site layout would change, to allow for materials, plant and team movements.
