The main de-aerator of the system .
An example of the pipework in the plant room . Galvanised and insulated ( stainless steel finish ).
After completing the overall system Revit model , ODA also provided all the parties with a complete bill of quantity ( BoQ ). This was one of the sites used in the implementation of their extensive custom-development of this software platform and their achievement of very high accuracy outcomes for BoQ generation ( 97 %).
With plan views , sections and details derived from the Revit model that was provided to the pipe installers , it helped shorten the installation time by an estimated 30 %. Also the detailed BoQ eliminated most of the ordering and claiming headaches typical of projects . Each project element had a monetary value and an attribute called “ Claim No ” assigned to it . That enabled the team to do the “ filtering ” of elements according to the claim number . Monetary value of the claim would also be calculated automatically .
