Conservation Trip

Fota House was originally built as a

modest two storey hunting lodge for

the wealthy and powerful Earls of

Barrymore. During the 1820s, the

house was extensively remodeled by

John 'The Magnificent' Smith Barry

into an elegant Regency mansion.

The sumptuous interiors from tha

period have recently been restored

to their former glory and give the

visitor a privileged look at the best

of 18th and 19th Century Irish

craftsmanship.

Fota remained in family ownership

until the death of Mrs Dorothy Bell

in 1975. Since then, the Fota Estate

has passed through various phases

of ownership involving University

College Cork and the Fota Trust. In

December 2007, the Irish Heritage

Trust took ownership of the house

and invested in major restoration

and conservation work since then.

Fota House

Charles Fort is a star fort located on

the water's edge, at the southern

end of the village of Summer Cove,

on Kinsale harbour, County Cork,

Ireland. James' Fort is located on

the other side of the harbour.

Charles Fort is built on the site of an

earlier stronghold known as

Ringcurran Castle, which featured

prominently during the Siege of

Kinsale in 1601. The fort, which is

named after Charles II, was

designed by the Surveyor-general

Sir William Robinson - architect of

the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. The

fort was built in the 1670s and 1680s

to a star fortification design - a

layout specifically designed to resist

attack by cannon.

The inland bastions of the fort

however are overlooked by higher

ground, a fact of critical

importance when the fort was

besieged by John Churchill, 1st

Duke of Marlborough in 1690 during

the Williamite War in Ireland. Repairs

were made following the siege,[4]

and the fort remained in use as a

British Army barracks for two

hundred years afterwards.

Bantry House & Gardens,

The Cathedral of Saint Colman is a large and

elaborately detailed neo-Gothic building. It is

prominently sited overlooking Cork harbour and

visible for quite a distance. Local people are generally

very proud of it and tourists often climb the steep hill

to admire and photograph it. The historian Emmet

Larkin has called it "the most ambitious building

project undertaken by the Church in nineteenth-

century Ireland"[citation needed] and Frederick

O'Dwyer says that it was "certainly the most costly

Irish ecclesiastical building of the Victorian

era".[citation needed] Cobh Cathedral probably enjoys

the most advantageous position of any Irish cathedral.

Because of its hillside site, it dominates the quay in an

imposing way, standing clear of all neighbouring

buildings. The exterior detail is intricate, elegant and

well proportioned in a way typical of French

sophistication. Its south front faces out to the sea and,

viewed from the town, it displays its flying buttresses,

gargoyles, spirelets and pinnacles, giving the

impression of a Bucentaur sailing in state along the

horizon.

The basic building material is blue Dalkey granite

with cut stone dressing of Mallow limestone. Newry

granite is used in the tower, with red Aberdeen granite

in the pillars of the west front and the piers at the

entrance of the nave. The roof is blue Belgian slate.

Bath stone and Portland stone are used to line the

inner walls. Red Midleton marble is used in the

shrines and in the first confessionals on both aisles;

the remaining confessionals are of red Aberdeen

granite.

The Cathedral of Saint Colman , Cobh



Kildalton was originally part of the

Bessborough Estate owned by the Ponsonby

family. The main house was completed in

1755. The house was burned in 1923 and

rebuilt in 1929.

In March 1940 the Oblate Fathers

established a seminary at Bessborough

House. The Oblates worked their own

bakery, and farmed dairy cows, poultry,

cattle, pigs, sheep; and grew potatoes, grain

and other crops. They also had a very good

orchard.

The house and lands were purchased in

1971 for £250,000 Irish pounds by the Dept

of Agriculture. It was opened as an

agricultural and horticultural college – now

known as Kildalton College.

In this project ,w e create a new canteen for

Kildalton college . The new canteen has 2

level , ground floor has the kitchen , toilets

and the canteen . The second floor is the

cafe .


My idea was taken from the design of Thurles arts centre building , and the same time i tried to

come out with a traditional design to be suitable with old building , I used the archs to get the

traditional design , that was at the connection between the the old canteen and the new canteen ,

where I faced a wall which i demolished will effect the first floor , what I did i used the archs to

be a cover for the structure columns to get a nice view .

Dissertation (How BIM going to

be utilized in The Arabian Gulf

States )

Building Information Modeling (which is simply referred to as BIM) refers to a process

that involves generating and managing the digital representation of the functional and

physical characteristics of different places. The models are usually exchanged and networked

in order to support the decision making processes. The software of BIM is highly significant

to government authorities, businesses, and individuals. BIM is critical in planning, designing,

constructing, operating, and maintaining physical infrastructures that are diverse. These

include communication utilities, roads, ports, bridges, and buildings.

The research proposal is on how BIM is going to be useful in the Arabian Gulf states. The

dissertation is about carrying out research in Arabian Gulf states projects. For example, the

government of Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries are going to embark on a number of

projects in the coming years. These projects are supposed to be done before 2020 because

those countries will be hosting massive events such as the Qatar world cup in 2022, as well

as the Dubai Expo 2020. The purpose of this research is to figure out how BIM is being

utilized to build those projects

The main objective of this research is to consider if B.I.M. technology is a viable option for

countries in the Gulf States to use for their building needs.

AIM

After an intensive examination of the viability of BIM technology in the building and construction industries, it is apparent that all the visited and contacted sources of information agree BIM is

benficial to the industry as a whole. The previous research has shown that BIM is effective in eliminating errors in the building and construction industry. The previous studies have indicated a low

rate of adoption of the BIM technology. This finding agrees with this previous paper.It has found that the adoption is still at a low rate despite the known benefits. The firms and construction

companies have had slow rates of adopting BIM, quoting many challenges. These firms have not recognized the economic value of adopting BIM, and they are also of the opinion that training the

staff on new software and for new skills is costly financially and in terms of time. The firms also believe that the supposed benefits are of low value when compared to the resources used. It is

suggested that governments are only concerned with its projections not exceeding certain limits, when the BIM technology becomes mandatory. A few governments have tried to help the adoption

of the technology .Good examples are the Nordic countries like Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, where legislation is in place to guide the implementation of the BIM project. The

government of the UK has a centrally manned programme that aims at ensuring the building and construction companies are at pace with new developments. The UK government project aims at

placing its contractors in the global market by making them the best, and consequently increasing their chances of obtaining global contracts.

The technology has the mentioned benefits of improving management, reducing resource wastage, allowing efficient and close monitoring, eliminating building and clashing errors, accurately

giving the materials and other resources needed (Azhar pp. 241-252). The project is time and cost saving as it gives all drawings and gives calculations of the materials needed. For project owners

and controllers, it gives them an easy time of monitoring, as it gives the finest details of the materials used.” No cheating”, as Dr. Najeeb observed during the construction of the Al Mohanna Trade

Center. If industry stakeholders can adopt the use of BIM technology, a greater amount of resources would be saved. The countries will be saving a lot of resources as the UK has established that if

all constructions can be done using BIM technology, it could be saving £2 billion annually.

This research work expected to have a higher rate of adoption of the BIM technology but the adoption rate is still slow at prompting specific action from stakeholders in the industry. With the work

done to establish the adoption of the BIM technology in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States, it has been established that Qatar and the UAE have tested the benefits of BIM technology and therefore

it is practical for the industry to adopt the technology.

INTERVIEWS

RESULTS

RECOMMENDATION

A. Change the organizational culture

Many firms have been against changing and adopting the new ways of technology. The

organizational culture is important when it comes to adopting new technologies as everyone in the

organization has been accustomed to the traditions.

B. Training and education

Many people do not know BIM since they have not been trained about it. People are ignorant about a

new technology, especially if they are not informed what it is. Many Gulf States need to implement

this technology by designing BIM courses to be offered in several of the top universities and middle

level colleges.

C. Advertising the new technology

New technology is learned about through public relations systems where people are informed through

advertisements on social media and other traditional channels. Professional organizations should take

initiatives in informing the potential property developers of the new technologies.

D. Form task forces to assess the rates, pricing and other factors included in the adoption of the

technology

Since the new BIM technology is not well known by stakeholders, it is recommended that a task

force be formed to assess how many people are aware of the new technology and how many are

applying it.

E. Governments should be involved in making it mandatory for companies to adopt BIM

To fasten the adoption of the technology, governments need to put legislations in place to force the

building industry to adopt the technology. Governments have big roles to play in the adoption of BIM

technology as an organized approach is likely to involve all the stakeholders.

How BIM is being utilized in The Arabian Gulf States

By

Mohammed Hassan Aladwani (20051281)

INTRODUCTION

The study aims to:

1-Determine if B.I.M. is a realistic option for countries in the Gulf States to

use.

2-Examine the practical working example of Qatar Dubai use of B.I.M.

3-Assess the impact of B.I.M. technology in the Gulf States and worldwide

OBJECTIVES

Several professionals in the engineering, design and construction industries were interviewed to give information about the knowledge, benefits and challenges of implementing BIM.

“BIM is very different in terms of its ability to reduce energy consumption, reduce wastage, and save spaces, and it is especially unique in countries like the Gulf state countries, which are facing huge

developments, and where there is a need to finish a wide variety of projects very soon, due to events being hosted there shortly. As an example, in 2010, I remember the Taif Municipality had a problem

with its Okath Gate project. The problem was that 2D plans weren't sufficient to give it the imagination of a 3D view. This meant the plans had to be redrawn again to make sure of the 3D View . Also there

was a great deal of time lost, resulting in costs going over budget. I felt that my colleagues who were working on the project became very dis-satisfied with the inefficiencys. The experience meant that I

am much more in favour of working on a project that uses BIM technology. It is just much easier to work with. Its error correction from the first stage of the project to the final stage is just so much more

accurate than the old methods.

” Sultan Alzaidi - manager of engineering office - Saudi telecommunications company .

“BIM technology is easier,more attractive and enjoyable than the other technologies. It allows all workers in any projects to edit the model quickly and easier to get better end -results than AutoCAD.

Challenges likely to face it in Gulf States include the difficulties of getting a team of members together who can use BIM efficiently. Training is lacking for many specialists. To some extent BIM will be

biggest solution to solve work clashes while eliminating all possible mistakes during the designing of the project, which would have been very expensive for them to edit in the future . ”I think BIM will

change engineering design in the Gulf States.

“ Jaber Al Shehri, an official in the engineering office, Ministry of Education.

“BIM programs allow projects to be managed and monitored well. It also guides the contractors to achieve the aims of the projects in less time. Countries like Saudi Arabia or some of the Arabian Gulf

States countries need to practice BIM technology to avoid errors encountered in designing buildings. I think BIM could be one of many reasons that has helped some countries like the USA , Denmark or a city

like Dubai, to grow so fast.

” Jamil Asali of the Architectural Department at Technical college of Taif .

“As I was doing my study in W.I.T , I found that BIM went in the perfect direction for guiding the development of the world structures. BIM makes designing of structures much easier with greater

perfection. BIM technology should be applied in every construction, and reduce relying on the old tools as they are more tiresome and not cost and time saving. Previous tools were faced with many errors

during the project design and implementation. These errors have been solved by BIM which has provided the solution for this problem. I was working in a commercial building project in the capital of KSA,

Riyadh and in the advanced stages of implementation we realized that a few beams were bigger in size when compared to the others, so this affected the extension of conditioning. I believe that if we had

applied BIM from the initial process, we could avoid such errors and save time as the projects progressed,

” Saleh Abdulattif, an architectural student in Waterford Institute of Technology, observed.

Many professionals observed that BIM technology could save a lot in the process of construction. Future operations in constructions are poised to change due to the emergence of new BIM technologies. Some

respondents quoted having difficulties in adapting to the BIM technology since they had been accustomed to using AutoCAD. Respondents said it was quite demanding to adapt to the new technology, as

those who changed from AutoCAD to BIM faced hard times understanding the technology. ArchiCAD and Revit can be expensive for small organizations but they are worth buying and using. “These can be

useful for small projects for small companies. BIM will have an effect on the construction industry, although not much,

” Hassan Al Adwani, the owner of Al Hassan Construction Company.

„BIM helps determine the financial value of a project without going into details about the hard copies. This BIM technology gives more than the AutoCAD can give.” From the observations made across the

interviews, many industry professionals are aware of the BIM technology but are somehow reluctant to adopt it. Many interviewed respondents observed that learning BIM technology can be challenging and

can take time to master.

Projects which has been done by BIM in The

Arabain Gulf States

The new Qatar’s National Museum. The museum is located in an area of

1.5 million square feet with 430,000 square feet of space. The designers

worked on a structure resembling a desert rose with the rich culture and

heritage of Qatar. It has interlocking disks resembling a desert rose. With

the design being applied in every part of the building, the only technology

that could easily produce satisfactory results was BIM technology

Al Mohanna is a sixty-seven storey building designed, constructed and

managed through BIM technology. It is located alongside Corniche Road

with a total area of 182,000 square meters. The facility holds offices,

restaurants, residential apartments,a hotel and a spa. The owner of the

building, Dr. Najeeb, decided to use the concept of ArchiCAD BIM after

attending a five-day training course on ArchiCAD. Dr. Najeeb was able to

navigate the BIM models, which were designed to be used in the Al

Mohanna towers

There is also the Al-Wakrah Stadium that is based in Qatar. It has been

designed, constructed and managed using the BIM technology. Its

construction was done adhering to world standards to host the 2014 world

cup as the only technology that could reduce resource wastage and save

time while producing high quality work were the 3 dimension technologies.

building SMART ME study in 2010 A study done by building SMART ME in 2010 indicates that several major sectors in the Gulf countries are adopting BIM technology. This is after realizing many applications of

BIM technology in construction industries. The adoption of the BIM technology had been moderately adopted by both private and government institutions with a 25% adoption

rate. This indicates a lag behind in adoption of the technology when compared to other western countries and the USA.

I would like to thank my supervisors Robin Stubbs, Gordon Chisholm and, Brian Dempsey

for the patience and understanding he has shown throughout my studies at the Waterford

Institute of Technology. His professionalism combined with his significant knowledge have

been vital as time has progressed.

The aid and encouragement shown to me by my father Hassan Aladwani and my

mother Miznah Aladwani and all my family throughout my years at the college were a great

comfort to me. The great examples they have given me over the years and during my study

period have made the hard times easier.

It is also necessary for me to extend a warm thank you to the many friends and

colleagues I have made during my time in Waterford. It was always good to know that I

could speak to a wide variety of good and kind people throughout the study period.

Waterford with its beautiful memories and lovely waterways will always remain with

me. I will always be grateful for the many kindnesses shown to me by the people of

Waterford both in and out of the university.
