As
part of the project I was allocated reconstruction of Boiler Buildings.
Unfortunately both boiler buildings were damaged during the fire of 2005 and
have been demolished in 2008.
While no information
was available from the 3D Laser Scan of
the site, carried out by Scantech International Ltd. model had to be created
solely based on the available information in pictures and drawings. Information
varied depending on the source, sometimes contradicting each other, especially
regarding exact location in relation to other buildings and floor levels.
During research in
preparation to modelling following information was located:
Boiler building no.
1 (building with clock on the roof, as shown in the picture below) has been
built in 1920's in Neo-Georgian Style1, matching existing brewery buildings,
with exception of grey colour.
Second boiler
building built in 1953 was lower, made of steel frame and brick infills with
corrugated sheet cladding, with large chimney built at the back, as shown in
the drawings below.
To recreate buildings with correct levels, heights and detail, Howl Associates Ltd.
elevation drawings from 2005, have been used.
By applying various
measuring methods and comparing the results, 3D model of the buildings has been
created in Autodesk Revit software and prepared for inclusion into main
Infraworks 360 model, incorporating other brewery buildings and surrounding
area.
