Feringa Building: a safe building during an earthquake
28/02/2022
Before we start building outside, we first build the project inside: on the computer. With BIM (Building Information Modelling), we make a virtual representation of the building, linking geometry and information. Because we work with BIM, we can record and share data intelligently and also prevent failure costs. After all, errors in the computer cost less than errors in reality.
We call our own BIM approach BIM4Project. This is the collective name for four sub-areas of projects in which BIM is successfully applied: BIM2Design, BIM2Construct, BIM2Field and BIM2Operate. With success: our BIM4Project approach on the Blankenburg connection was awarded the GEOBIM2020 award.
Digitalisation and Innovation go beyond building with BIM. We work with robots, laser scanning, machine learning and artificial intelligence. By constantly taking a step further, we are able to make the client experience even better.
Together with other major construction companies, we have started the Digital Engineering Community, in which we are increasingly digitising and automating our engineering processes together. In addition, we are the lead party in the implementation of the BIM basis Infra and contribute extensively to other initiatives via the BIM Loket and BuildingSMART International.
