Wessex Water: Democratising Data and Improving Efficiency with a Single Source of Truth

Wessex Water: Democratising Data and Improving Efficiency with a Single Source of Truth

Customer challenge

Adam Bear, Strategic Digital Manager and Paul Verner, Principal Digital Engineer at Wessex Water began identifying improvements to Wessex Water’s current ways of working last year in preparation for AMP7. They recognised that although they had many digital tools within Wessex Water, they weren’t being used to their full potential. Adam and Paul began exploring how they could improve efficiencies and enhance collaboration.

Project goals

As a critical infrastructure provider in the UK, it was imperative for Wessex Water to be able to keep their projects operational during the Covid-19 pandemic too.

Solution

Some water companies were already using a common data platform, so the team kept a close eye on the experiences of those companies to understand how this could benefit the team at Wessex Water. From there, they began exploring what common data environments were available in the marketplace and worked with Autodesk to review their digital products and workflows. They began by understanding their needs as a business and looked at products that suited every aspect of design and delivery. From their exploration, they found that BIM 360, an Autodesk Construction Cloud solution that connects workflows, teams, and data would help the team to centralise all of their project data.

Business outcome

Following the success with the mainlaying team, they rolled out using BIM 360 as a document management system with their Engineering, Procuring and Construct (EPC) team with a focus on managing project data in one central space. The EPC team also linked up their Revit models and Navisworks with BIM 360 so everyone in the team could access the 3D models of their projects. Wessex Water have also started using BIM 360 for their design review processes with external designers.

Conclusion

Looking ahead to the future, Wessex Water plan to grow their usage of BIM 360. They are looking to implement more digital workflows and the ambition is to use BIM 360 as their standardised common data environment on all projects.

Symetri Assists JLR to Convert 8 Clay Modellers into Competent Members of the Digital Modelling Team

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) needed to address the imbalance of skill sets within their modelling department without losing the investment in and the experience of the core team. The programme cycle and growth chart indicated that they had the right number of heads to sustain the projected workload but in the wrong disciplines. As the studio is becoming increasingly digital, the resource numbers needed to increase in the CAS team.

Symetri Leverages Accelerator Material for McLaren Resulting in Productivity Boost on Conceptual Design and Improved Cross Department Communications

Using the Alias Subdivision (Sub-D) Modeling Accelerator’s discovery session and engagement approach, Symetri was able to uncover that McLaren had critical challenges they needed to address: • As a result of the Pandemic, McLaren needed to figure out how to do more with their Alias Software with less people in the studio. • They wanted to become more productive leveraging the tools and processes already established in the studio. • Raise core competencies of the team and boost awareness of Alias full set of capabilities – including Subdivisional modeling • Better appreciation of the various modeling paradigms – how they work, what they do, and where they could fit into McLaren’s workflow • Increase prototyping output • Reduce time in the design phase
