The Future of H&S & The Role of BIM in Developing a Coherent Strategy

In a recent article for the Canterbury Safety Charter, I spoke about a couple of recent reports which have significant implications for the health and safety industry going forward. These reports highlight the balance between compliance and culture as driving forces for changes in health and safety practices. Read more here.

Join us for this year’s summit, where we will go ‘Beyond the Blueprint’ to celebrate and recognise BIM Health and Safety Innovators within the sector.

Hear a range of innovative case studies showcasing the impact of BIM on enhancing health and safety outcomes in some of New Zealand’s most exciting construction projects.

The BIMSafe team will also introduce their new interactive web portal to host a variety of project-use case studies and provide an overview of how it will enhance project accessibility for all stakeholders.

Case Studies & Presenters:

Christ Church Cathedral – Safety-focused Reality Capture and 3D Building Monitoring: Andrew Sinclair, Beca.
BIM for Safety on Auckland’s City Rail Link Project: Dean Burke, WSP.
BIM: A New Resource for H&S: Mikko Anzano & Christo Erasmus, Steel & Tube.
Auckland Airport: Seeing the Unseen: Robin Findlay, Auckland Airport.
How can the H&S Person use BIM to their Advantage: Jen Dransfield, Naylor Love Canterbury Ltd.

Time: 11:30am-2:00pm, Light lunch provided.

This is a Free BIMSafe NZ and Canterbury Safety Charter event. Many thanks to our event sponsors who helped us bring this to you.

Safer Work Through BIM Visualisation

In this article, Kathryn Davies disucsses how Building Information Modelling (BIM) can transform the way you visualise a building, enabling anyone to interact with the design in a clear and intuitive way.

Putting up a building is a complicated business. There are a huge number of moving parts, which all need to work together in the right way at just the right time. That’s difficult enough, but when all the parts come from different actors – designers, engineers, contractors, suppliers, local authorities, and so on – health and safety becomes…Read more here.

Profile: Steel & Tube Holdings – 3D Modelling with QR Code Access.

We profile Steel and Tube Holdings and talk to Christo Erasmus, their South Island Sales Manager, about their use of QR codes on their reinforcing steel to allow scanning onsite, linking directly to a BIM model of the steel.

Steel and Tube are subcontractors working on the ACC case study building in Dunedin.

Question: How long have you been doing this type of work?
Although 3D modelling of reinforcing is not uncommon internationally, Steel and Tube was an early adopter in New Zealand; in the past 2 years, we have moved to producing 3D Tekla models of the reinforcing steel for our projects…. Read more here.
