Digitisation in the design and execution of installation projects
Digitisation is rapidly transforming the world of engineering and architecture, and the trade fair EFINTEC 2023 (Exhibition and Forum of Installation Companies and New Technologies) at the Fira de Barcelona was a testament to this. One of the highlights of this event was the round table entitled "Digitalisation in the design and execution of installation projects". Jordi Cañas, Founding Partner of ICA-Grupo, had the honour of participating as a speaker at this round table, where the crucial role of BIM modelling in the execution of installation projects was discussed.
Digitalisation and BIM modelling: the future of engineering and architecture
Jordi Cañas shared his experience and knowledge on the BIM modellinga methodology that is revolutionising the way installation projects are designed and executed. He explained that this technology enables the creation of 3D virtual models that accurately represent all aspects of a project, from initial design to execution. This methodology has proven to be essential for improving efficiency and accuracy in the engineering and architectural industry.
Confidence in BIM technology:
One of the keys to the success of BIM modelling is to the confidence of both suppliers and customers in this tool.. Jordi Cañas emphasised the importance of training, as there is currently a significant lack of professionals trained in BIM. He encouraged those entering the world of work to train in this methodology in order to be at the forefront of the industry.
Success stories:
During the round table discussion, Jordi Cañas shared concrete examples of facility projects in which ICA-Grupo has successfully applied BIM modelling. These examples allowed attendees to understand the potential of this methodology to avoid errors and optimise work, which ultimately translates into more efficient and successful projects.
The future of BIM modelling in facility projects:
Although the adoption of this new technology is gradual, there is no doubt that BIM modelling is the future and is unstoppable. Its ability to allow clients to see projects in 3 dimensions before they are implemented is a revolutionary breakthrough in the engineering and architecture industry.
Participants of the round table:
The roundtable featured leading experts in the field, including moderator David Jiménez, Xavier Urbano from ENGINYERS BCN, Antonio Recio from SUGAR SOLUTION and Sergi Pi Boltà from INFRAESTRUCTURES.CAT. Together, they discussed how digitalisation and BIM modelling are shaping the future of the industry.
Conclusion:
Jordi Cañas' participation in the EFINTEC 2023 round table highlighted ICA-Grupo's commitment to innovation and excellence in engineering and architecture. BIM modelling is a key tool in this digital transformation and promises an exciting future for the sector.
