The project integrates sustainable systems, underscoring a strong environmental commitment.<\/p>\n<p>The stadium is conceived as a multi-purpose complex, incorporating restaurants, conference halls, a UD Las Palmas museum, retail spaces, and a sports hub\u2014ensuring continuous use and preventing prolonged periods of inactivity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Modelical services<\/h2>\n<p>Using point cloud data and available CAD documentation, Modelical developed Revit BIM models of the stadium\u2019s architecture, structure, and surrounding urban environment.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the scale and complexity of the stadium, the full Scan-to-BIM project was completed within four weeks by a team of up to 12 professionals.<\/p>\n<p>The modelling work also required:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rationalization of structural axes and grandstand modelling aligned with those axes<\/li>\n<li>Development of more than 30 custom railing families<\/li>\n<li>Conversion of Rhino geometry into Revit elements (32,418 seats modelled)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Deliverables<\/h2>\n<p>The Scan-to-BIM project included the following deliverables:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>BIM structure of the project comprising seven models: Architecture, Structure, Urban Development, Roof, Seating, Grandstand, and Reference Model (dwg and point cloud)<\/li>\n<li>Issue management through the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) platform<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>Moving from fragmented 2D CAD documentation to as-built BIM models provided the client with accurate and detailed information about the existing stadium complex, supporting the design phase of the rehabilitation project.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>BIM for Stadium Projects<\/h2>\n<p>Rehabilitation and expansion projects for large stadiums require a precise understanding of the existing facility and its surrounding infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Stadium design must balance structural complexity, spectator safety, comfort, operational requirements, and the venue\u2019s long-term economic viability. Accurate documentation of existing conditions is therefore essential before renovation or expansion begins.<\/p>\n<p>BIM models developed from reality capture data provide precise geometric information during the design phase, improving coordination between architectural, structural, and engineering disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>Modelical brings extensive experience in stadium projects.<\/p>\n<p>We support designers and contractors by delivering accurate BIM models that enable efficient design coordination and construction planning.<\/p>\n<p>For owners and operators, we develop BIM models enriched with structured data and digital twin solutions that streamline stadium asset management, accelerate future developments, and improve operational and business performance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29195,"template":"","categories":[7],"tags":[411,649],"class_list":["post-28995","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-works","tag-technology-revit","tag-technology-rhino"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
