Freeform was engaged to build and develop a full 4D model of the station, retail spaces and connections to existing buildings on the estate. We also attended site and programme co-ordination meetings, using the 4D model to review the works and develop the programme.
The Crossrail Station model at Canary Wharf is our most ambitious and detailed model to date. With all internal activities within the station and retail box fully modelled, it has proved to be a powerful tool for managing and navigating the complex programme of works. The model has been filtered to allow for exploding by floor level in order to communicate the floor-to-floor dependencies. Hoist locations, stairs, escalators, mole holes and service risers are all represented. The project also plugs in to a number of properties on the estate, these have all been modelled to assist in minimising disruption and optimising the sequence.
The interface with the Crossrail works has been fully realised and explored, increasing understanding of the programme across the wider project team. Below is series of key spacial interfaces that were discovered and resolved using the model in workshop sessions.
