Recently opened up to include Tier 1 contractors when construction of the nuclear reactors started, the portal now has over 1,500 users.<\/p>\n<p>Currently one of Europe\u2019s largest construction projects with 8,000 workers on the 450-acre site, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edfenergy.com\/energy\/nuclear-new-build-projects\/hinkley-point-c\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hinkley Point C<\/a> \u00a0is the UK\u2019s first new nuclear power station built since Sizewell B in 1995. The nationally significant infrastructure will provide around 7% of the UK\u2019s electricity, power around 6m homes and contribute to the UK government\u2019s net zero target.<\/p>\n<h3>The GIS portal is a central source of data<\/h3>\n<p>Delivering clarity of information, the GIS portal is a central source of all spatial data, maps, apps and dashboards, combining multiple sources of information and making them accessible to everyone on site. An interactive primary site map contains over 100 different data layers, from BIM models and CAD data including Revit models to construction operations, temporary works, utilities, logistics and emergency preparedness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe scale of the project presents a complex logistical challenge,\u201d said Jon Dolphin, construction project manager and GIS lead at HPC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClarity of construction data is critical and the GIS portal provides a single view of this, which drives collaboration as people can see where things are happening and when. Every employee or contractor is making decisions based on the same data. The confidence this generates makes decision-making faster and strengthens the ability of teams to work more efficiently. As a result, we\u2019ve seen improvements in quality, safety and productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Starting life as a proof of concept three years ago, the GIS portal first became an enterprise roll-out in Spring 2021 and has grown since then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSmall pilots showed what was possible, helping a wider audience understand the benefits of using GIS on a megaproject,\u201d explained Dolphin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsers now browse the spatial data, explore applications and enable new digital workflows relevant to them. The number of portal users is growing daily as more people become aware of what GIS has to offer and more use cases emerge.\u201d <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-121429 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HPC_mobile_GIS-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.esriuk.com\/en-gb\/industries\/aec\/overview\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HPC_mobile_GIS-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HPC_mobile_GIS-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HPC_mobile_GIS-1024x605.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HPC_mobile_GIS-696x411.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HPC_mobile_GIS-1068x631.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HPC_mobile_GIS-711x420.jpg 711w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HPC_mobile_GIS-1920x1134.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HPC_mobile_GIS.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Using digital workflows for planning<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esriuk.com\/en-gb\/industries\/aec\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Esri<\/a>\u00a0GIS has enhanced HPC\u2019s ability to collect data out in the field, replacing manual methods using paper checklists, clipboards and spreadsheets. One example is emergency planning data, used to provide assurance for regulatory purposes, which is now collected on tablets and appears in real-time in the GIS portal. Managers view and report on it using dashboards, helping to make more informed decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Temporary works teams use similar new digital workflows for planning and inspecting hundreds of simultaneous works, including excavations, earthworks, scaffolding, ramps or formwork for reinforced concrete pours.<\/p>\n<p>Adding the spatial context means contractor activities do not clash, while physical surveys now take a fraction of the time. Using GIS apps and integrated dashboards for data input and reporting eliminates the need to transfer information into a report when staff return to the desktop.<\/p>\n<h3>Mobile GIS improves the management of generator permit requests<\/h3>\n<p>Another example of mobile GIS in action is an app created to improve the management of generator permit requests. HPC needed to monitor emissions as the site grew and wanted a detailed understanding of generator use. Now contractors have the ability to use a new mobile app instead of a spreadsheet to click on a location and request a generator, which is submitted into a workflow for approval. A dashboard displays the data so electrical and environmental teams can optimise the use of generators and reduce emissions across the site.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new digital approach has replaced the previous spreadsheet-based system, which lacked auditability and had no spatial context,\u201d said Dolphin.<\/p>\n<p>The portal will see another increase in usage when the MEH phase (Mechanical, Electrical and HVAC) ramps up in 2023, to manage permitting and controlling what is being built onsite. This phase will see contractors work together on the complex installation of cabling, pipework and equipment for the power station\u2019s 2,500 rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Future plans include using GIS to track and optimise the use of plant around the site to reduce emissions and make transport services more intelligent, by tracking the site\u2019s buses and other vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving one GIS portal for our construction data is immensely powerful for breaking down communication barriers, getting everyone on the same page and improving collaboration,\u201d concluded Dolphin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction\/common-data-environment\/gis-portal-esri-uk-coordinates-8000-workers-hinkley-point-c\/121090\/\"
