Steel Fabriction Workflow Example
Emergency Access Gantry within a Confined Area
1: SCAN
Image on the left shows existing railway arch's which were recently rendered in preporation of Survey before design works.
2: DESIGN / MODEL
Utilising scan data a steel frame model is developed within the building envelop, incoprating design, coordination & required building regulations.
3: FABRICATE
The model is divided into fabrication parts in the of an assembly sheet, individel part models & bill of materials
4: INSTALL
Fabrication parts are assembled during manufacture to ensure componants are as designed aand fit for use. The final structure is finished and reconstructed onsite. A robotic total station is used to precisely setout bolt and connection points back into the building fabric.
5: VALIDATION
A final scan is completed for installation Quality Audit.
At the same time this process captures valuable record information required for client submission.
STEEL / MEP FABRICATION
5 Steps to Success
1Scan
Using our in house digital team.
We use industry leading techonlogy to digitally map a project creating a
Digital Twin.
Millions points of data points are captured providing the accuracy need from the start of the project
2Design & Model
A bespoke model can then be created within this mapped environment where it is analysed and tested.
We are able to create multiple concepts to ensure we are meeting our clients needs.
We also conduct installation and logistics. Timeline models which feed into step 4.
3Fabricate
Once a Model has been approved it is dissected into fabrication parts still within a virtual space ready for manufacture.
These parts are then related to Bells Fabrication for Steel & Modular work and also to Bells M&E for services fabrication
4Install
Bells lifting and installation teams are briefed on logistics & installtion requirments planned in step 2.
We incorporated Robotic setting out systems during this process ensuring they are working within tolerance.
5Validate
Final checks, our digital team periodically scans installed components, issuing compliance check reports after each visit.
If a change has occurred then these reports are used to update the final record model before issuing it to our client.FABRICATION

Government Building - Fabrication via Trimbles Sysque
True Fabrication within Revit MEP
Bells Digital is the official training provider for Sysque Fabrication UK. Sysque is the only true native Revit and BIM to fabrication application.
We Pride ourselves on producing real world modelling in partnership with the Trimble Group.
