Swords underground Interchange

Grangegorman Campus Development

• 367,000m2

• Arup part of International Team

• Responsible for Masterplanning Initially

• Detailed design for public realm and infrastructure

Methodology • Significant co-ordination required

• 3D is the best solution

• 3D co-ordination modelling of each service

• Clash detection

• Cut & fill quantities can be optimised

Software Presently being used

• Google sketch-up to reflect masterplan building

• Existing site topography information provided in 3D and imported into 3D civil.

• Proposed topography and services modelling in 3D civil

Geographical Information System (GIS)

GIS are computer-based information systems which capture, store, manipulate, analyse and display spatially referenced attribute data for solving complex research, planning and management problems
