New Aalborg University Hospital
Aalborg’s new university hospital is the focal point of the health service in Northern Jutland
Digital aids from the outset
Right from the outset, MT Højgaard made use of VDC and BIM to create optimal conditions for the design and building of the university hospital. When tendering for the project, we supplied both traditional 2D drawings and delivered a 3D model of the buildings to create an overview.
After winning the project, we used models to verify the specifications of the tender. The client’s consultants had developed part models, which we integrated into an overall one, which was used to generate information and to visualise the project.
Shell with walls and floordecks cast in-situ
All walls at NAU are cast in situ in order to future proof NAU’s changing requirements. The upper storeys are supported by pre-fabricated concrete pillars and in the three-storey buildings, the façades are designed as sandwich elements.
Throughout the execution of the project, there has been tight co-ordination in order to synthesise the many interfaces between the steel and concrete structures.
