How automation can improve project delivery: Inside King’s Cross R8

In this presentation and Q&A, Bill Baynes (Senior Reinforcement Detailer, Arup) and Gordon Clannachan (Associate Structural Engineer, Arup) will show how they developed innovative digital tools at every stage of the King’s Cross R8 project – from early concept to construction, improving project delivery and adding value for their clients.

The team will showcase the benefits for structural optioneering, live embodied carbon calculations and reporting, efficient response to change, and 3D reinforcement.

Three Key Points:

The benefits of automating BIM modelling using the Tekla-Grasshopper live link and advantages of embarking on cloud coordination at an early stage.|The power of data to report embodied carbon as a by-product of your workflows. This provides live reporting as the project progresses to influence decisions, rather than leaving as a retrospective exercise carried out at each project milestone.|An insight into 3D reinforcement and the vast potential of automating 3D reinforcement modelling using software API and Grasshopper Link.
