Hengqin Hospital, a Grade A tertiary comprehensive hospital, is a groundbreaking project jointly designed by the Medical and Health Architecture Design Research Center of Hunan Provincial Architectural Design Institute Group Co. Ltd. and Payette, a U.S.-based company. This hospital, with a planned total of 500 beds and the capacity to handle approximately 2700 emergency visits daily, is set to become a central healthcare facility serving the Pearl River Delta, including Hong Kong and Macau. This case study explores how Revizto played an instrumental role in enhancing the project's delivery and collaboration
Project Spotlight
The Hengqin Hospital project, located in the central area of Hengqin New Area, spans an impressive 60,000sqm. It includes a 50,000sqm area for the hospital and a 10,000sqm area for associated dormitories. The total construction area amounts to 190,756sqm, with significant portions allocated to both above-ground and underground construction. The integration of Revizto into this large-scale project provided substantial improvements in project management and collaboration.
Revizto enabled us to manage the complexity of this project efficiently, bringing all stakeholders onto a unified platform. It also provides a significantly clearer perspective, liberating many from focusing solely on parts rather than the whole.
| Challenges | Solutions |
|---|---|
| Before adopting Revizto, the Hengqin Hospital project team encountered several challenges: | Here are the key benefits Sun Yu realised: |
Model ManagementThe team struggled with managing heavy models that could only be operated by specialists, limiting accessibility and causing significant delays in project timelines. | Improved AccessibilityIntegrating various specialised models and conducting remote presentations allowed stakeholders to interact with and provide feedback on the designs, ensuring comprehensive and inclusive project development. |
Communication BarriersInefficiencies arose due to information silos and miscommunication among diverse teams. | Communication EfficiencyReal-time updates and information sharing reduced miscommunication. |
TraceabilityThere was a lack of clear documentation for changes, comments, and decisions, making accountability difficult. | TraceabilityDetailed logs of changes, comments, and tasks ensure accountability and facilitate better project management. |
Implementing Revizto
The implementation of Revizto in the Hengqin Hospital project began with comprehensive training sessions for the project team. This ensured that every team member, from designers to on-site engineers, was proficient in using the platform. The team integrated Revizto into their workflow by setting up collaborative workspaces where all stakeholders could access and interact with the project models. This seamless integration allowed for real-time updates and facilitated efficient communication across different disciplines. The platform's ability to merge various specialised models from SketchUp, Rhino, and Revit significantly streamlined the design process, allowing for more accurate and coordinated project management.
Revizto has revolutionised our approach to project management, allowing us to deliver high-quality results efficiently.
Expert Insights and Recommendations
Sun Yu, a Senior Engineer and BIM Technology Alliance Expert, offers valuable insights into leveraging Revizto effectively for complex projects. Here are his key recommendations:
Focus on Early Adoption
Introducing Revizto early in the project lifecycle is crucial. Early adoption allows the team to identify potential issues and address them before they escalate, ensuring a smoother project flow from start to finish.
Encourage Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration
Use Revizto to break down silos and foster collaboration between different disciplines. By enabling architects, engineers, and on-site teams to work together on a single platform, you can improve communication and reduce misunderstandings, leading to more cohesive project outcomes.
Utilise Visual Communication
Leverage Revizto's visual tools to enhance communication. By using 3D models and real-time updates, you can provide clear and immediate visual feedback, making it easier for all stakeholders to understand project progress and issues, which is particularly useful for remote or dispersed teams.
