This school is amongst a batch of 4 new schools in the Harrow area. PEP were appointed civil and structural engineers for the batch. All 4 schools had a similar structural strategy; steel frame supporting precast pre-stressed floors flush soffits throughout the corridors and perimeter; piled foundations with ground floor planks bearing directly onto ground beams; drainage and subfloor vents penetrating the ground beams within the middle 1/3.
The model was generated and co-ordinated with other disciplines within Revit. Through a number of iterations, the model was passed to and from our structural design and analysis software CSC Fastrak.
The model data, through scheduling and regular uploads was taken off from within the common data environment, BIMXtra. This was used for quantification and pre-construction planning.
