Northern Ireland branch - Digital Technologies & BIM in Construction: A Fire Engineering Perspective

From our Northern Ireland branch


Join us for this free, online event from Melanie Dawson will tackle the growing use of digital technology in construction. This presentation will cover:
  • The key requirements of BS 8466-1 from a BIM perspective
  • How BIM and digital tools that are currently available in the industry can support fire information management
  • Who the key agents are (client, designer, contractor) in identifying and collating the necessary data
  • The relevance to fire engineering practice: Integration of BS 8466-1 Digital Management of Fire Safety Information using digital technologies and BIM practices
  • BIM topic focus (e.g. fire strategy, Golden Thread, ISO 19650)
    • Looking at how the Golden Thread of Information has shifted completion handover to lifetime compliance.
    • An overview of BS8466-1 Digital Management of Fire Safety Information.
    • An overview of some of the key digital tool and technologies that be used from design through construction to asset management.
  • Fire safety interfaces (compartmentation, fire-stopping, smoke control): asset data collation and management.
