Latter Rain projects

We are all now on the cusp of a rapid evolution of how these 3D models are used. 4D BIM is the addition of ‘Time,’ 5D is the incorporation of ‘Cost,’ 6D will add ‘Sustainability.’ 7D BIM encompasses the ‘management’ of the structure for the duration of the structure’s life, beginning with initial design right through to the end of life.

Brisbane City Council (BCC) followed the lead of TfNSW and embraced digital asset management by creating a digital twin of the iconic Story Bridge.

Arcadis were again wanting to embrace this new standard when asked to provide a government body with a 4 minute video for a highway bypass of a country town. This government body wanted an engaging video that put their presentation to stakeholders and a very concerned country town in the best possible light

Arcadis engaged Latter Rain to produce animations for a suburban level crossing replacement. Their request was for a 30 second video of 2 options showing a fly through with vehicle movements, all on a very restricted budget.

RMS (now TfNSW) Asset Management engaged Latter Rain early in 2015 to begin creating intelligent 3D models for Sydney’s inner-city infrastructure. The initial challenge was finding a way to import metadata embedded in these 3D super-models of predominantly bridges and tunnels into RMS bespoke software that had no facility to import any embedded data.
