Cegelec shares its experience: Feedback on the use of the NEXT-BIM solution at the new Hospital of Nantes

Cegelec Tertiaire IDF and the New Hospital Project of Nantes

The company Cegelec Tertiaire IDF is one of the entities of VINCI Energies. With its expertise in carrying out operations dedicated to the tertiary sector, Cegelec Tertiaire IDF offers high-quality solutions and a complete range of services. From study and design to commissioning, including execution, it relies on the skills of its 8 companies, including air conditioning, electricity, plumbing, etc. Its unique structure is based on mobile teams adapted to each project.

One of the current major projects is the New Hospital of Nantes (CHU), covering 230,000 m² and spanning 5 years of work. This project requires innovative solutions to ensure fast, precise and efficient monitoring of the works.

Watch the video below to see how NEXT-BIM is used directly on the construction site of the New hospital of Nantes.

NEXT-BIM: a key tool for reservation control

Cegelec Tertiaire adopted NEXT-BIM mainly for reservation control. With an impressive volume of 20,000 to 30,000 reservations to check, the use of NEXT-BIM makes it possible to reduce the necessary personnel while improving the level of accuracy and quality. Data processing is centralized in the hands of a single operator, which allows for more agile and coherent management of controls and adjustments.

Beyond reservation tracking: multiple use cases

Beyond reservation tracking, NEXT-BIM will also be used for other use cases, such as visualizing complex areas before equipment installation, or compliance control for the creation of the As-Built Documentation.

The integration of BIM into business processes represents a real turning point in the digitalization of site monitoring, strengthening coordination and the fluidity of operations. This technological adoption improves team coordination and enables real-time tracking of reservations.

Increased efficiency thanks to NEXT-BIM

The use of NEXT-BIM is based on well-configured models, which are essential for effective operation.

A full-level control is carried out in 2 to 3 hours, compared to a full day with traditional methods.

A significant time saving, allowing a reduction in execution times and better responsiveness to unforeseen events.

By reducing the need for high-level checks, NEXT-BIM directly contributes to improving team safety and limiting risky situations.

Feedback: a successful adoption

While the adoption of a Mixed Reality technology may have raised some initial doubts, these were quickly dispelled thanks to the intuitive handling of NEXT-BIM and its concrete results in the field.

General satisfaction from the project team.

Possibility of use by non-expert personnel, making NEXT-BIM accessible to a larger number of employees.

Conclusion: NEXT-BIM, a major asset for BIM on site

The feedback from Cegelec Tertiaire on the New Hospital project in Nantes fully illustrates the added value of NEXT-BIM. Its deployment made it possible to ensure precise tracking of reservations, to save considerable time, while strengthening safety on site. And beyond these initial benefits, the solution also stands out for its ability to meet other use cases, which will be progressively integrated into the next phases of the project.
