BIM-driven Integrated Solutions: The Key to a Safer, More Productive, and More Sustainable Construction

In managing complex construction projects, the key is to find a game-changing solution that can be implemented in every stage.?Hilti, a global leader in construction solutions, is revolutionising the way construction projects are managed with its?Integrated Project Solutions (IPS). IPS is a comprehensive suite of services that combines engineering expertise, pre-fabrication, advanced logistics, jobsite automation and digital solutions to help construction projects be safer, more productive, and more sustainable.?

??

As a solution, the IPS can help manage issues such as space constraints, loading conditions and the application of relevant building codes to any particular projects, resulting in better coordination, improved scheduling, as well as better cost and quality control for customers.?

??

Say goodbye to construction delays and cost overruns?

??

To begin the workflow, Hilti will provide customers Integrated Design Services with 3D visualisations. Paired with expert engineering support and advanced modelling of MEP installations through industry-compliant?Building Information Modeling (BIM)?technology, this initial phase of the IPS focuses on material and time optimisation.?

The IPS will then begin pre-fabrication services, enabling precise manufacturing of components off-site which are carried out by specialists in Prefabrication Centers. This allows Hilti to deliver pre-assembled key materials and components to not only save time, but also reduce material wastage.?

“Traditional construction methods often face challenges such as material surpluses or shortages, or perhaps come across complexities when coordinating assemblies and installations on the jobsite. With such issues, Hilti's IPS was created to streamline these processes, improving productivity and cost-effectiveness. At the end of the day, our goal is to give our customers the flexibility needed to adapt to project changes and minimise downtime, ensuring smooth project execution,” says?Sam Keung, Head of Engineering of Hilti Asia.?

The Safer, Smarter, and Sustainable Way to Build?

??

Safety is paramount in any construction project, and Hilti's IPS focuses on creating the platform for safer working environments. Providing customers with expert guidance, advanced tools, and digital services, the IPS helps minimise risk factors and potential hazards on job sites.?

??

“One of the ways the IPS mitigates construction-related risks for our clients is through the timely delivery of the right materials. Another tool that we offer to significantly help reduce jobsite risk and ease labour shortages is the Jaibot Drilling Robot. With its expertise in repetitive and precise drilling work, the autonomous robot can be employed to take on jobs in dangerous parts of construction, which can help contribute to a safer and more productive project. Overall, we have designed all our offerings with safety in mind,” continued?Sam Keung, Head of Engineering of Hilti Asia.?

??

When it comes to sustainability, Hilti is fully committed to furthering their customers’ sustainability ambitions. Through the IPS, customers have access to experts and resources that can help assess projects in terms of environmental performance, and then execute them.?

??

A great example of how the IPS can help customers reduce their environmental impact can be seen in its recent partnership with Merck. During the planning phase of Merck's newest location in Darmstadt, using Hilti's IPS helped the company save up to 50% less materials and reduce CO2 emissions by 120 tons.

?

To accomplish this, Hilti's team of project managers, lead engineers, and modelers used BIM methodology to create a digital twin of the project, which allowed them to predict and rectify overlaps of different trades during the planning phase. Combined with the transparency of their products’ carbon footprint and the accuracy from the BIM material list, the IPS resulted in Merck having a more efficient use of their materials, as well as a significant reduction in construction waste during the project’s execution.?

??

Overall, the IPS is a comprehensive solution that can help construction projects be safer, more productive, and more sustainable.
