1 Standards, BIM, and Big Data Andrew Wall

2 Who Needs Standards?

3 Veld Koning Machine factory Veld Koning Machinefabriek" Since mid-1970s, specialised in manufacturing rides ranging from massive steel roller coasters to water rides to family-friendly attractions. Vekoma filed for bankruptcy in 2001 and was reformed as the Vekoma Rides Manufacturing Company. The company spent the next few years spending very little money and concentrating on their two popular ride models, the Boomerang and the Suspended Looping Coaster 3

4 Suspended Loop and Boomerang Coasters 4

5 What has been Standardised? Ride Cars Seats Harnesses Braking systems Track Passenger loading systems Launch systems (Lift Hill, Hydraulic, Electomagnetic, pneumatic catapult, friction wheel) Layout and Design processes 5

6 Standardisation can help Improve Safety Deliver a Positive Customer experience Design and Delivered Assets to clients on time Deliver trouble free operation Minimise maintenance Deliver a Unique end product Layout Livery Orientation Theme 6

7 Benefits of Standardisation Reduced Capex Reduced Opex Increased Operating efficiency More throughput Less Downtime Standardised operation and maintenance Common Spares 7

8 Standards are the enemy of Innovation! Aren't they? Some coaster enthusiasts view Vekoma as a company that just produces clones or off the shelf coasters Boomerang, This ride is the most common roller coaster clone in the world and is currently in operation at over 20 amusement parks. These "off the shelf" coasters provide cost effective alternatives to large bespoke coasters. Its the approach to production that is standardised More effort can be focused on the site specific requirements. More time to be innovative and creative, solving new problems not the same problems 8

9 How that relates to the Water Industry The decisions we make in the design process are supported by having: The right knowledge In the right place At the right time We have standards and processes Not for roller coaster but for Water & wastewater Assets We also have the means to get new knowledge into those standards and processes. BUT There is always room for improvement! 9

10 Its not new!

11 Dimensions of Knowledge Management. "But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months. " It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'." not a good example of knowledge flow 11

13 What is BIM?..the collection, organization, and managed accessibility to data and information related to a building or buildings that may be used for a wide range of purposes that may include planning, construction, life-cycle monitoring, risk assessments, and eventually decommissioning and disposal.

14 Building Information Modelling (BIM) BIM is driving fundamental changes to the way industry works Key Drivers Reducing risk and waste by improving the way in which we collect, collate, store and reuse data. Improving the environment in which design, construction and asset lifecycle data/information is authored Improving the process for maintaining operational, maintenance, health and safety asset lifecycle data/information Realising cost savings through BIM adoption. Industry claim 20% savings are available

15 Our Key Principle of BIM

16 Where we are now Preparing for AMP6 Pilot Projects BIM adoption plan AMP6 Contracts BIM Strategy

17 One of our BIM Pilot Projects Liverpool WwTW One Hundred Years of Activated Sludge Tell them something interesting! (refer to notes if stuck) Mention the Irony Unique location will we be building another? What we will have is the Modularised reusable Design Remind them about the link to roller coasters cos they will have forgot.

18 The BIM clock is ticking 2014 Construction Delivery Partners appointed Operational Excellence The BIM Clock AMP UK Government Mandate BIM

19 The Asset Lifecycle 95% 5% Operation Creation Big BIM Little BIM

20 Big BIM - What will be Different? Our focus will be on delivering asset lifecycle information not just delivering projects Graduated handover of asset lifecycle data Having access to trusted asset lifecycle data through easy to use portals Less documents and renditions to process Improved data, better information and reliable asset knowledge Having a common data structure A common data environment to store our data Reduced requirement for site visits More effective data gathering and surveys It s the Culture that will really need to change

21 BIG Data We are increasingly hearing about Big Data So what does it mean But more importantly how does it help us We need to find a way to convert Data into knowledge & wisdom a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications

22 Designing for the Future Technology is becoming increasingly important for utilities to offer customers value rather than just keeping operational costs down. Big data analytics and social media are increasingly being used to improve operations and interaction with customers. In 2013 Computer Weekly reported that IBM has been awarded a contract to support Thames in big data analytics as part of AMP6 [1] analysing a range of social media channels, including blogs, online forums and Twitter, to create real-time public opinion snapshots, identifying trends and use behaviour understanding how consumers feel towards the brand.

27 Summary The Thank God slide The importance of Standards How Standardisation helped Vekoma produce successful roller coasters. Knowledge Management is about having The right knowledge In the right place At the right time BIM will help us collect, organise and manage Asset Lifecycle Information Big Data and Data Analytics will ensure we transform Information into Knowledge and Wisdom
