When it comes to the success of a project, even the smallest detail counts. This is especially true for large construction projects, where precision and efficiency are decisive factors for successful implementation.
A good example of this is the construction of the new cantonal hospital in Aarau: the collaboration between Kalt+Halbeisen and Trimble on this infrastructure project, which is so important for the region, not only ensures that the highest quality standards are met. The punctual completion of the construction steps specified in the given schedule is also guaranteed at all times.
In this blog post, we take a closer look at how the interplay between Kalt+Halbeisen's expertise and Trimble's software solutions made a decisive contribution to the successful completion of the project.
Engineering office Kalt+Halbeisen
Kalt+Halbeisen is a renowned Swiss engineering firm that focuses on energy and building technology as well as special installations. Thanks to its many years of experience and high level of expertise in the implementation of projects, Kalt+Halbeisen has established itself as a trustworthy and reliable partner in the industry. They combine in-depth expert knowledge with the use of advanced solutions. With their commitment to exceptional results and adherence to the highest quality standards, Kalt+Halbeisen make a decisive contribution to the successful planning and implementation of ambitious, complex construction projects.
Aarau Cantonal Hospital - Efficiency and
The construction of the new hospital in Aarau is particularly important for the regional and national healthcare infrastructure. With a focus on precision, efficiency and quality, a state-of-the-art medical facility is being built here that will meet the care needs of the population.
Kalt+Halbeisen is responsible for the specialist coordination of the entire building technology as part of the construction process. Thanks to their extensive know-how, they can ensure that every technical aspect of the hospital - from design to implementation - is carefully planned and executed. The new Aarau Cantonal Hospital sets a high standard for construction projects in the healthcare sector and demonstrates how the use of advanced software solutions and attention to detail are crucial in this respect.
Efficient and precise construction is crucial for the successful completion of a large-scale construction project such as the Aarau Cantonal Hospital. This requires careful planning, streamlined processes and the use of future-proof technologies.
An efficient construction method enables precise scheduling, equally resource-efficient project management and seamless coordination between different teams and trades. By optimizing workflows and using innovative techniques, engineers can minimize delays, reduce costs and improve the overall efficiency of the project.
MEP engineers have access to software and tools that enable faster design iterations, accurate calculations and seamless integration with the corresponding BIM models.
High quality standards - advanced technologies and software solutions as drivers
Kalt+Halbeisen has been working for many years with Trimble Nova, a CAD program specially developed for the planning of technical building systems, which has enabled planning steps to be significantly improved in recent years.
Automation is the key to success in this project in Aarau. At the beginning of the project, a 2D plan with polylines was used as a starting point, but this has gradually given way to a fully integrated 3D BIM model.
For Kalt+Halbeisen, the simple exchange of Nova files with Trimble Connect, the mutual exchange between the construction trades and the data transfer between Trimble Connect and other software solutions is a decisive advantage. The platform also supports automatic calculations and version control. For optimal model-based collaboration, Kalt+Halbeisen uses the IFC data models stored in Trimble Nova. This enables software-independent data exchange within the planning team, in the spirit of "Open BIM".
By using these technologies and Trimble's technological expertise, the Kalt+Halbeisen project team is able to minimize delays in the process, reduce costs and ultimately achieve the high quality standards expected for the Aarau Cantonal Hospital.
This successful collaboration is a testament to the transformative impact that advanced software solutions can have on construction projects and sets a new standard for the entire industry. Kalt+Halbeisen is convinced that they will continue to use Trimble solutions for the realization of their projects in the future.
