A sophisticated data centre of this kind requires a large scale MEP network which is carefully designed, coordinated and constructed in order to provide fast broadband access, high fault-tolerance and minimal down-time as well as precise indoor environmental contract.

Also, to meet the market demand for high-tier data centres as swiftly as possible, MEGA Plus is to be constructed within 24 months, by mid-2017. To achieve the aims, vast amounts of design and construction information must be rapidly retrievable and efficiently coordinated amount the Project Team anytime and anywhere.

Together with BIM data, on-site construction and inspection information are centralised on the web, to provide a one-stop platform enabling the Project Team to be promptly updated of the latest site progerss and facilitate decision making regardign future works planning. 

On-site information such as site photos and inspection details can be recorded in real-time into the centralised database, and associated with BIM model geometries that can be viewed simultaneously through a web-based BIM model viewer.

BIM-centric submissions and inspections enable better and efficient coordination in the Project Team. The team is better informed regarding the site progress, and therefore can make quicker response to amendments to the construction programme.

Also, less manpower was used to process huge amounts of inspection details and reports, freeing resources for even better coordination of designs and ideas. Inspection details are inputted at the inspection scene, which minimises time-lags for information and progress sharing between parties.
