Albion Valves embrace BIM technology MANUFACTURER - ALBION VALVES
A lbion Valves (UK) Ltd, a leading valve supplier to the building services market, now includes Building Information Modelling (BIM) components for its core product range. The components will allow you to incorporate Albion into your HVAC, hot, and cold water systems right from the design stages of the project. The digital design also proves useful for maintenance engineers throughout the lifetime of the build, providing them with asset locations, valve dimensions and warranty information. The accompanying asset data incorporates key information such as dimensions, weights and flow rates, allowing the user to establish whether all components incorporated are compatible. Building specifiers, designers and contractors within the building services sector frequently utilise the tools
available to digitise the built environment, providing them with a detailed analytical view of a built asset during the design and construction of a project. The uptake of this new technology demonstrates that the plumbing and heating industry has recognised the need for a more efficient design and, more importantly, is willing to adapt. David Keys, Albion’s Managing Director, commented, “With the massive benefits that BIM brings to design and build stages of construction, I have no doubt that it is going to completely revolutionise the industry. This new way of working both improves productivity and reduces risk, waste, and costs, not only through the construction phase but also for the lifetime of the build.” Albion’s BIM components are available to download free of charge from www.albionvalvesuk.com/bim or the bimstore.
Albion Valves incorporate BIM components to core range.
