Verifi3D joins HS2 Innovation Accelerator, bringing automated rule-based model checking to built-infra projects!
Delft, The Netherlands, September 25, 2024
HS2 Ltd, in partnership with Connected Places Catapult, has launched its sixth Innovation Accelerator program. This initiative aims to find groundbreaking solutions that can make the construction of major infrastructure projects more efficient, sustainable and cost-effective.
We are thrilled to share that our next-gen AI model checking solution for building-infra design validation, Verifi3D, has been selected for the HS2 Innovation Accelerator, Britain’s largest infrastructure construction program. We will contribute to the built-infra environment by automating the model-checking process through our advanced rule-based engine that facilitates predefined rule templates.
The implementation of Verifi3D’s predefined rule templates ensures accuracy, consistency and compliance throughout the project lifecycle. It helps building design teams streamline model-checking processes and enhance interoperability across workflows. This includes the ability to federate multiple file formats such as .rvt and .ifc, and enforce standardization for efficient building design processes. These capabilities are set to drive efficiency and innovation in the built-infra sector, setting new standards for the industry.
Verifi3D is a game-changer in the AEC industry, particularly within model checking. By automating the model-checking process, Verifi3D significantly reduces the manual checking process and minimizes the risk of human error. This leads to more reliable and accurate models, which are crucial for the successful delivery of large-scale built-infrastructure projects like HS2.
“We are thrilled to have Verifi3D selected for the HS2 Innovation Accelerator. Verifi3D’s next-gen model checking capabilities with its advanced rule-engine are designed to enhance the preconstruction phase by ensuring that all models meet the highest standards of accuracy and compliance. By automating these critical processes, we aim to reduce errors and inefficiencies, ultimately leading to more successful project outcomes.” – Frank Schuyer, CEO of Xinaps, the developer of Verifi3D.
Automating repetitive tasks not only speeds up project timelines but also allows project teams to focus on more strategic aspects of the construction process. This efficiency is critical for staying on schedule and within budget. Nevertheless, ensuring that all models adhere to predefined rules means that Verifi3D maintains high standards of data quality and consistency. This accuracy is essential for avoiding costly mistakes and rework during the construction phase. Verifi3D ensures that all models comply with industry standards and regulations such as IDS, COBie among others, ensuring that projects meet all necessary legal requirements and global building standards and codes.
“This incredible opportunity with the HS2 Innovation Accelerator allows us to showcase the transformative potential of Verifi3D. Together, we can create a more efficient, reliable and innovative future for built-infra projects. By contributing our expertise and innovative solution, we aim to help HS2 achieve its ambitious goals and pave the way for more efficient and sustainable construction practices.“ adds Frank.
The HS2 project, as Britain’s largest infrastructure construction program, sets the stage for implementing advanced technologies such as Verifi3D that can redefine industry standards. The project provides an opportunity to collaborate with other forward-thinking companies in the industry by accelerating the design processes and strengthening the circular economy.
To showcase the capabilities of the Verifi3D integration with Procore, Xinaps will be demonstrating Verifi3D at the upcoming Groundbreak event in Chicago on 19-20 September 2023.
About Xinaps:
Xinaps was founded by a team of dedicated industry experts united by the desire to bring greater consistency in building data. Located in the heart of Europe’s biggest incubator, YES! Delft, the Dutch Innovation Xinaps is the developer of Verifi3D, the next generation model checking solution for building design validation. We developed Verifi3D keeping in mind the existing challenges of Building Information Modelling (BIM) which is suitable for many people in the industry who are not directly involved in the design process but need to check and clash designs. We are committed to the journey of the AEC industry where processes are automated, risks are managed, and customers are satisfied — let’s build and future-proof the industry together!
About HS2:
High Speed 2 (HS2) Ltd is a non-departmental public body, wholly funded by the Secretary of State for Transport and sponsored by the Department for Transport. The HS2 project is one of the largest and most complex infrastructure projects ever undertaken in the UK. It requires a bespoke delivery organisation to execute the planning, design and integration of the component parts of the new high-speed railway. Learn more about HS2 here.
