CHALLENGES
European Council "EUROPA" - Bruxelles, Belgium:
The Residence Palace, built in 1922, has been renovated and is now known as the EUROPA building, the headquarters of the Council of the European Union. The new glass atrium extends over the main entrance and a new lantern-shaped space for the conference rooms.
ADVANTAGES
bocad provided a model of the overall view of the various on-site assembly steps for different structures. The interfaces between the steel elements and other components, such as glazing from other suppliers, were visualised and fully modelled in 3D. The information was transferred directly from bocad to the production machines. The on-site assembly method study carried out with bocad served as the basis for a successful and timely assembly in compliance with assembly tolerances.
