12. BIM & Sustainability in the UK
Jarmo Manninen

13. UK Construction View – Technology is not the Problem
13
“Son, we’ve been doing this for 30 years.
If there were a better way,
We would have had found it by now!”

14. UK Government Construction Strategy
14
The construction industry in the UK is very traditional and
adversarial. There is a huge amount of waste.
UK Government is the largest construction client in the UK and so
that waste costs the tax payers a huge amount of money each year
30% of the construction process is rework
As much as 60% of the labour effort can be wasted
10% loss due to wasted materials
3-5% of construction turnover because of lack of coordination
between disciplines
Construction information is often
– Inaccurate
– Incomplete
– Ambiguous

Government “early adopter project”
Targeted 20% savings for the taxpayer by utilizing BIM processes
Managed to reduce the build cost from £2910 per square metre to
£2332 (target reached)

19. Case Study – Laing O Rourke
Jarmo Manninen

20. Hinkley Point C – Nuclear Power Station
• Laing O’Rourke / Bouygues - Joint Venture

21. Hinkley Point C
21
Same EPR design as Olkilluoto
A design and logistical nightmare
Some statistics – nuclear island
– 1.3 million m3 of concrete
– 250,000 tonnes of rebar
– 40,000 tonnes of steelwork
– 1.4 million m2 of formwork
– 1.4 million couplers
– 220,000 embedded plates in the concrete
Officially the project is still awaiting the final “go ahead”
decision from EDF but many benefits have already been
realized in the design phase and are planned for the
construction phase

22. Some Realised Benefits – Elimination of Clashes
22
By adopting a modelling process in the design stage rebar
clashes can be categorized and colourised in the model
according to severity and design decisions made to resolve
these issues which are typically missed in the 2D process

23. Some Realised Benefits – Traceability
23
When reinforcement is delivered to the construction site one
of the biggest causes of waste is the bars being delivered to
the wrong place on the site.
Tools are developed to be able to track the reinforcement
through the fabrication, delivery and installation process.

24. Some Realised Benefits – Use of Tablets on Site
24
There is much time spent on site trying to read and interpret
drawings such as those below.
By moving the reinforcement installation sequence on to a
tablet for use on site installation times can be reduced
significantly in complex areas.

25. New Processes, New Contract Documents
25
The traditional 2D reinforced concrete drawings are based on
standards specified many years ago and have not been
updated to suit modern technologies
New drawing styles makes approval and fixing much easier to
understand
Automatically generated
bending schedules are able
to be transferred directly to
bar bending machines
eliminating potential human
error and reducing health
and safety risks

26. Case Study – Arup
Leadenhall Building
Jarmo Manninen

27. Leadenhall Building
27
Main Contractor – Laing O Rourke
SMEP Engineer – Arup
Steelwork Contractor - Severfield
224m high
85% of construction manufactured offsite
97% of construction waste diverted from
landfill
18000 tonnes of steel
Collaborative design process between Arup
and Severfield

28. Collaborative Working
28
Engineer, steelwork and main contractor
worked collaboratively to develop the
design model so it could be used
downstream for fabrication.
The Meganodes right (weighting 45
tonnes) were engineered in a way to
ease the fabrication process and
transportation and erection
Integration of structure and MEP
modules for easier and quicker lifts
BIM enabled a tight design, fabrication
and erection schedule to be achieved

29. Internationalisation

30. History
The first export deals were made in 1972.
The first foreign subsidiary was
established in Sweden in 1995, with
export trade accounting for 15 % of net
sales at the time.
International operations were expanded
strongly around the turn of the
millennium.
Tekla was listed on the Helsinki Stock
Exchange in 2000-2012.

32. International Success
35
So how do you make a product a success globally?
Tekla’s strategy has been to create solutions that are easy to
sell and easy to buy for the customer
A solution that can be easily “localized” to suit local
standards and market requirements
An effective and knowledgeable distribution network with
local knowledge and relationships
A quality product and offering professionally packaged

33. Thank you.
Any questions?
A marketing approach
