Located in Vancouver, Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) is the largest health care facility in the Vancouver Hospital and Health Sciences Centre group of medical facilities. VGH is also Canada’s second largest hospital. Scheduled to be completed in 2021, the VGH Operating Room project involves the construction of 16 new operating rooms on the third floor of the Jim Pattison Pavilion at the hospital.

Summit BIM worked directly with the Design and Construction teams to enable the data and document collection of required tracked assets, for direct migration to their Maximo software solution.

Summit BIM extracted and collated the tracked assets from the design models, and then hosted them on the BIMFMi cloud interface. The assets were sorted into groups based on who is responsible for uploading the data associated with them. This meant that each project participant only sees the data that is relevant to them.

Progress was tracked and the data was audited throughout the project to ensure that, at handover, the data can be migrated to support Maintenance and Operation requirements with no delay. Having information available at handover reduced risk considerably.
