Project Overview
The Chalkwell Station project involved developing an accurate as-built BIM model of an existing railway station within the UK rail network. The objective was to digitally document the station's architectural, structural, and MEP assets to support refurbishment planning, improve asset visibility, and enable more efficient infrastructure management.
OneClick BIM created a coordinated digital model of the station and platform areas, providing project stakeholders with reliable existing-condition information for future design, maintenance, and operational activities.
OneClick BIM's Scope
OneClick BIM was responsible for developing a coordinated as-built BIM model of the station's existing infrastructure.
The project scope included:
• As-Built BIM Modelling
• Architectural Modelling
• Structural Modelling
• MEP System Modelling
• Existing Asset Documentation
• Multidisciplinary Model Coordination
The coordinated model served as a reliable digital reference for refurbishment and asset management.
Key Challenge
Rail infrastructure projects demand precise documentation of existing assets while maintaining coordination between architectural, structural, and MEP systems. The challenge was to accurately model station facilities and platform infrastructure to support future refurbishment activities while ensuring consistency across all disciplines.
OneClick BIM's Workflow
Existing Asset Assessment
Available project information and existing station documentation were reviewed to establish modelling requirements.
BIM Model Development
A coordinated as-built BIM model was developed, incorporating architectural elements, structural components, and MEP services, including lighting, cable trays, ductwork, and drainage systems.
Coordination Review
The multidisciplinary model underwent coordination and quality reviews to verify model accuracy and alignment between all building systems.
Model Validation
The completed model was validated to ensure it provided a dependable digital representation for refurbishment planning and future asset management.
Final BIM Delivery
OneClick BIM delivered a coordinated as-built BIM model of Chalkwell Station, providing stakeholders with accurate digital documentation of the station's existing infrastructure. The model improved project coordination, supported refurbishment planning, and established a reliable digital asset for future maintenance activities.
