Hensel Phelps and the Denver Justice Center

This is a unique case study delivered from the Project Engineer’s perspective as he worked in support of the Superintendent and field team.

Join Hensel Phelps as they walk us through the Denver Justice Center project, a $285M GMP involving over 780,000 gsf of courtrooms and detention facilities. This complex project, including public spaces, a parking garage, and underground tunnels, incorporated over $40M of concrete.

Using BIM capabilities and software tools, the Hensel Phelps team was able to generate the quantities and estimates for all of the self-performed concrete work and generate their lift drawings. They were also able to compare flowline scheduling to traditional methods.

For example, the Hensel Phelps team worked to provide a report to the Owner that detailed every single concrete element – its quantities, its estimate, and its production rate. This “Concrete Book” provided the necessary transparency to help the Owner understand the complexity of the concrete work, as well as cement trust (pun intended) between the GC, the Subs, and the Owner.

With the concrete modeling, lift drawings, estimating, and scheduling completed, the Hensel Phelps team was able to work with the sub-contractors who were also generating their trade models. Once combined and compared as parallel models, the team could perform coordination and identify system clashes.

Two important distinctions should be made for this Fridays with Vico webinar:

•	This project was not performed as an isolated pre-construction effort. Picking up the ball from the January 16th webinar, Bringing BIM to the Field with Trimble and Vico, this case study describes a parallel process. This webinar describes the Project Engineer’s point of view as he worked with the model in the trailer, supporting the Superintendent and field crews.
•	This project highlights the gamut of BIM: starting with 2D lift drawings generated from the 3D model, moving to model-based scheduling (4D), and progressing to the model-based estimate (5D) utilizing the construction quantities.

All in all, the team remarked at the wide breadth of software tools on the market to help manage the virtual construction process. The benefits of which surpassed their goals for ROI and greatly simplified their collaboration and communication with their subcontractors.

Hear first-hand what they’ve learned through their 5D virtual construction experiences. Register today for this special Project Engineer perspective case study.
