With the mandate for the use of Level 2 Building Information Modelling on public sector projects now in force, Intastop has seen ‘a noticeable rise’ in downloads of its ‘BIM-responsive data’, and has accordingly expanded its library to include its ‘IVision’ vision panel and ‘unique’ Door Top Alarm.
The company said: “Level 2 BIM requires that all those involved with the construction of public sector projects now collaboratively work with 3D models. At this stage it is not yet via a single shared model. However, all design information should be shared via a common file format such as IFC or COBie, to enable organisations to create an amalgamated BIM model and carry out necessary interrogative checks on it.”
Marie Hanby, Intastop’s marketing manager, said: “We are pleased to be including two more products on the BIM library – our IVision panel (pictured), which provides over 95% vision when in the open position, and our Door Top Alarm, which is designed to prevent service-users self-harming using the tops of doors.”
These two products now join ‘a raft of others’ already in Intastop’s BIM ‘library’, including fire-rated Intastop Aluminium Door Edge Guards, fire-rated and non-fire rated PVC-u Door Edge Guards, Impact Protection Sheet, and Continuous Geared Hinges.
