About ASTAD.

Majority of the projects were delivered to QATAR

FOUNDATION (QF) which became the major client. In

2008, both entities decided to form strategic

partnership and establish ASTAD PROJECT

MANAGEMENT.

History: Formerly known as the QP Onshore Engineering

Department – Special Projects Division and in

collaboration with Contract, Planning, Cost and other

Support Departments within QP, have delivered high

profile prominent Buildings and Facilities in Qatar since

2001.

QP/QF JV

Some of ASTAD Clients

Since the beginning of Education City 2001, ASTAD

(previously QP Onshore Engineering Department) is

involved in the project Management & Construction

Management of the extreme majority of all EC projects.

1. Projects Overview of Education City Infrastructure

EC is 1750 Hectares campus.

Infrastructure Projects (North & South):

• North Utilities Tunnel 4.7 KM.

• South Utilities Tunnel 8.7 KM.

• People Mover System 11.6 KM tracks/ 4 Stations 20 Stops/ 1 depot.

• 4 Main Car Parking Buildings for 11,000 cars.

• Electrical Substations total connected load 800 MVA.

2. Project Handover and Problems for QF FM

QF FM Main Objectives are;

• Safe operations,

• Sustainable & Comfortable Environment.

• World class FM service levels.

• Cost Efficiency.

• Starting a project with the end in mind.

Qatar Foundation as Owner, created QF FM to maintain & operate all facilities at inception of Education City in 2001.

QF CPD doesn’t look only at how buildings are designed, QF CPD + QF FM wants to see and plan how buildings will be Operated and Maintained.

requires preventive maintenance

6 Amine TOUATI

Operating & Maintenance Manuals - 2D AsBuilt Drawing - Close out report - Warranties. - Spare parts lists, …

Recurring issues of handover documents that challenge QF FM Quality services: • All Handover Data & Documents are poorly structured.

• Traditional 2D As-Built documents are very often wrong.

• QF FM are using ArchiBus18.2 for CAFM, but the As-Built Data entry into ArchiBus is Time & Staff consuming.

• Training in time QF FM Staff in understanding their complex and extensive Buildings is difficult with 2D documents Only…

• Why handover documents in EC projects should NOT be done any more ONLY in a Traditional mode.

2. Project Handover and Problems for QF FM

proper QA/QC is almost impossible

7 Amine TOUATI

Consequences to QF FM services of inappropriate As-Built Docs and process. • Time lost to find information & documents.

• Information reliability is still not guaranteed.

• Safety issues dues to the wrong information.

• Hidden Cost impact on cumbersome data & documents

• Lack of asset scheduling reliability …

• Catastrophic chain of events due to wrong information during accident or components failure.

ASTAD Solutions for Handover deliverables

• Well structured, Consolidated data capture for handover (Cobie2.4).

• Streamlining the process of data entry in CAFM platform (use of COBie*2.4 fully interoperable with ArchiBus 18.2).

• Accurate recoding & user friendliness of the As-Built information (As-Built BIM Models including 3D laser scanning).

• Offering QF FM a tools to challenge QA/QC of the contractor provided handover documents (training of QF FM Staff).

QF CPD requested ASTAD to find solutions! (Sept 2011)

2. ASTAD Solutions: As-Built BIM documents (incl. COBie)

for Handover Deliverables

All Handover Deliverables documents shall be one unique dataset, collected and recorded during the project lifecycle with specific standards and technologies.

*COBie: Construction Operations Building Information Exchange.

• COBie V2.4

as the specification/ standard requirements for Handover deliverables information.

• As-Built BIM Model

based (ideally) on 3D Laser Scanning as a process to record the real situation on field and to consolidate data in interactive 3D environment.

QF/ASTAD developed As-Built BIM (Including Cobie) requirements to be part of Handover/Closeout deliverables to assure accurate and consolidated data captured by “all” (AEC, specially Contractor) stakeholders during project life cycle.

Critical Infrastructure projects in Education City were the 1st implementation step.

The Integration of COBie in BIM Lifecycle, streamline the process of data records and assure a Consolidated & well Connected dataset.

4.6 few Highlights of QF/ASTAD Requirements & Policy for As-Built BIM documents Attch25.

COBie data responsibility matrix must be clear in As-Built BIM method statement between the GC & his sub-contractors or any other 3rd Party BIM Consultant.

•COBie Data is fully linked to As-Built BIM Model but can be also use completely separately from As-Built BIM Model.

•COBie Data input (when Design BIM is required) is not requested in the design stage in QF/ASTAD projects, except Room/Spaces schedules.

MEP Assets are the priority and key MEP items are listed.

QF FM Coding Protocol are integrated to COBie in the early stage.

5. Future Additional steps to be implemented. Target date of implementation of those future steps TBD.

Integrating As-Built BIM/COBie in 3D CAFM platform to promote upgrade of current CAFM version (ArchiBus18.2) and assure direct link to BIM Handover deliverables. (Target dates TBD)

CAFM platform linkage to other systems as, SCADA/Building Automation System (BAS), Electronic Management Systems EMS… (Target dates TBD)

Linking the CAFM database and As-Built BIM Models to Field BIM solution and QR bar-coding for commissioning, Operating and maintenance. (Target dates TBD)

Integration of all available and future As-Built BIM data into future EC Command Control Center Dataset. (Target dates TBD)
