3D Drawing Technology applies in Plumbing and Drainage System
August 29th 2009, Sat.     14:00

Construction Virtual Prototyping (VP) Try Before Build

There are many spatial problems in pipe alignment in design stage of building projects. In fact 2D combined service drawing is unable to completely fix the problems and cannot clearly present an actual circumstance of construction environment. Construction Virtual Prototyping (VP) is one of the Building Life Management (BLM) solution for the construction industry integrating with Building Information Modeling (BIM) and which is the creation and use of coordinated, consistent, computable information for the documentation of a building design, production of high-quality drawings, cost-estimates, construction planning and, eventually, for managing and operating the facility. It is an emerging information technology embracing the entire building industry and project life cycle. VP can also take into account all of variables in the project procurement process from feasibility analysis to maintenance management. The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of construction processes with a view to minimize the time and resource use.

Professional 1 day Training Workshop - Healthy Plumbing and Drainage Design
January 8th 2009, Thu.     9:00

Background

Plumbing has become a focal point and is one of important elements in Building Service Engineering. Its role is for living comfort and health. In drinking water supply, bacteria could transmit through improper designed system and affect our health. In hot water supply system, design must pay attention for safety water temperature. In discharge system, care must be taken for virus and smell spreading. All of them are closed to us and involve our living. The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering, Hong Kong Branch (CIPHE-HKB) as a professional body in plumbing and drainage engineering will provide a special one day training course in "Healthy Plumbing and Drainage Design"

Objectives

This program is intended to enhance professional training on plumbing design especially in health and safety consideration in water supply works. Upon completion of the course, participant will:

Obtain updated the knowledge on Plumbing Design. It is mainly related to Hot Water Design, suitable temperature, steady temperature, safety precaution, bacteria free, suitable pressure, prevention of contamination.
