LOCATION: UNITED KINGDOM
CLIENT: Confidential
BUDGET: 17 M £
This project involves the design and modernization of a strategic pumping station located in an urban area of the United Kingdom, aimed at flood protection. The facility includes an automated retractable gate that activates when the river level reaches 7.5 meters AOD (Above Ordnance Datum), preventing water from flowing back into vulnerable areas.
The hydraulic system consists of high-capacity pumps capable of moving up to 50 m³/s, ensuring an efficient response to flood events. The infrastructure has been developed using advanced BIM tools such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and ACC, enabling precise coordination between disciplines, resource optimization, and traceability throughout the entire project lifecycle.
With a budget of £17 million, this solution represents a notable example of resilient engineering, combining technology, sustainability, and safety to protect communities from the effects of climate change.
ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITIES
- We used the provided point cloud to create a detailed and accurate model of the pumping station in its current state. This process involves interpreting laser scan data to generate a three-dimensional model that faithfully reflects the existing site conditions.
- We developed architectural and structural models that incorporate the necessary expansions and improvements to increase the station’s capacity and enhance its resilience to future flooding. This includes designing new structures, optimizing existing ones, and integrating advanced flood control systems.
- We prepared the technical and administrative documentation required to obtain construction permits and licenses. This includes detailed drawings, descriptive reports, environmental impact studies, and any other documents necessary to comply with local regulations and ensure project approval.
