Digital design

BIM 360 is a common data environment (CDE) that we use to manage our graphical data. It supports informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle for project design and construction teams. It enables multiple people to access data from a single source of information where colleagues, suppliers, and our clients can collaborate at the same time, as one team.

It allows team members to interact with our 3D model design, collaborate with other team members and raise issues connected with specific parts of the model. It also ensures that our designs are following our standard information management procedures.

We’re continuing to use our Moata Geospatial and Moata Land Management solutions in the Strategic Pipeline Alliance (SPA) to deliver significant savings on this important piece of national infrastructure.

Moata Land Management was used to provide all parties involved in project design and delivery and members of the Alliance access to the same data through a single database. This enabled a coordinated and consistent approach to identifying landowners, managing land access and survey requests with stakeholders. The solutions alone have saved an estimated £2 million over 18 months. Moata has allowed the SPA team to efficiently analyse data and derive insights, improving outcomes.

Used together, Moata Geospatial and Moata Inspect aid collaboration on project data with easy data capture, review and monitoring.

Living With Water is a partnership between Yorkshire Water, Hull City Council, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the Environment Agency and the University of Hull, working together to build flood resilience, develop innovative water management systems, and highlight the region as a great place to live, work and visit.

We used Moata Geospatial and Moata Inspect to help collect digital survey data and present it on a GIS map platform with other geospatial data in a fully digital workflow. This provided a comprehensive view of the data collection and allowed the team to make informed, right first time decisions.

Moata Intelligent Content (MIC) is our digital component catalogue with easy-to-use access to a vast, fully managed library of standardised design, procurement, construction and commissioning documentation. MIC allows teams to repeat the delivery of projects to achieve our vision of increased efficiency.

Intelligent Content is a vital way of using the digital knowledge capital we generate as our primary output, enabling us to deliver better services to our clients.
