At its 17th edition, the awards highlight bold and innovative projects that are pushing the limits of BIM technology and shaping the industry towards a more efficient and sustainable era.
The recognition illustrates WSP’s unrivalled abilities in harnessing the full potential of BIM technology to revolutionise the way we design and construct, transform traditional project delivery to building innovation, and create collaborative and effective design for building and infrastructure.
Redevelopment of Kwai Chung Hospital (Phase 2)
To support the development of Hong Kong’s first local hybrid-mode psychiatric hospital, WSP leverages BIM collaborative approach to enable efficient coordination, enhanced visualisation, and facilitate seamless information exchange for design optimisation, off-site fabrication and logistic planning.
During the design stage, we adopted BIM clash detection to facilitate system integration and reduce design error, and utilised detailed 3D visualisation to understand the hospital’s layout for optimisation of patient flow and operational workflow. Data-rich models were applied for accurate cost estimation, budget management and timely project delivery; and sustainability analysis was performed to optimise energy efficiency, ventilation and lighting to create a patient-focused environment for this vital healthcare facility.
We also implemented BIM in virtual safety simulation to visualise the actual site condition and alert any high-risk locations, as well as in site logistics and access planning to optimise material delivery, storage areas and worker access routes, enhancing overall construction efficiencies and site safety.
