ArtrA Enterprise has been selected as the construction process control system for the build
of 280 Million Pound Meander Medical Centre in Amersfoort, the Netherlands.
The consortium in charge of construction is 2MC3 v.o.f. a joint venture of Heijmans Bouw NV,
Ballast Nedam NV and Burgers Ergon MEP NV. ArtrA was installed middle of May 2011 and is currently
being prepared by the BIM engineering group for use in Work Preparation (planning, purchasing)
and by the Field Engineers as soon as the fit out process starts.
The Hospital is scheduled for delivery in November 2013.

Artra teams up with Advanced NDT Testing to provide a link between the TG110-DL thickness testing
device and the Artra system. It is now possible to use this product to test the thickness of
critical systems in a plant and have the data automatically populate the Artra database,
cutting down on the risk of human input errors.

Artra will be attending Autodesk University 2010 to demonstrate our fully integrated BIM system
that can be used from managing construction right through to facilities management providing a solution
to oversee the entire lifecycle of a building.
Using our unique software solution ArtrA will also be exhibiting a complete managed corrosion monitoring
system for the benefit of the petrochemical industry.

not only assists in spotting construction issues but ultimately
is expected to mean smoother building management and maintenance,
according to CityScape project managers." 16th

Artra works with GE to provide a link between their USLT 2000 USB
ultrasonic testing system and the Artra iTracker
This product can be used to take various critical measurements which will then be automatically saved in the Artra
database eliminating the risk of data entry errors.
The 3D model can then be used as a central reference to all relevant information about a plant allowing you to
generate colour coded reports.
Testimonial from Skanska UK
Skanksa has kindly provided us with a new testimonial detailing how they have used Artra software
to save significant amounts of money on the construction and handover of the Barts and London Hospitals.

"We have in effect developed with ARTRA a
Construction Site Toolbox that runs on Tablet PCs and enables our site staff to get access
to the 'right information at the right time, in the right place'; which is our definition of
BIM."
UK Government Construction Strategy
The UK Government has produced a new report detailing construction strategy for the future:
http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/sites/default/files/resources/Government-Construction-Strategy.pdf
The report specifies that all government work will require a full 3D BIM "with all project and asset
information, documentation and data being electronic as a minimum by 2016" .
A separate BIM strategy paper has also been commissioned by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills with Artra Ltd listed as part of the workstream group:

First Artra Installation in the Netherlands
In April 2011 BIMProducts, ArtrA's distributor in the Netherlands, appointed its first value added
reseller, 3D NEXT BV.
3D NEXT is a start-up company of Marc van Wees en Jan van't Veld who between them have 50 years' experience in the area
of civil engineering. Their plan is to introduce BIM to the world of Infrastructural construction
and maintenance, and using ArtrA as a tool to achieve this.

Automatic NDT Data Entry
This combined with the barcode referencing system, on the Motion F5v tablet PC, significantly reduces the problem of incorrect
data entry and allows all current knowledge to be shared using a 3D model as a reference point.

ArtrA Advises BIS
Artra has been formally invited by the UK government Department
of Business Innovation & Skills to be part of an expert group
which will help provide the public sector with access to the latest
BIM technologies.
ArtrA
is used on prestigious City Scape Project in Phoenix, Arizona.
By implementing the ArtrA system it allowed
Hunt Construction group to deliver a BIM model to the owner/operators
FM staff. The BIM model aided the project handover by linking
as-built drawings, operations and maintenance manuals, documentation
and commissioning FM data to pieces of equipment in the 3D model.
