WHAT'S NEW FOR SECON

Illuminating Engineers Society

Secon congratulates Anthony Davidson (Principal Engineer - Electrical Services) on his new appointment with the IES as SA Chapter Member Comittee Vice President.  See Page 5 of October Intensity for more information.

Revit

Secon is committed to documenting in Autodesk Revit MEP, 3D parametric Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing building systems documentation package.  All of our projects are now being documented in 3D, (even if architectural backgrounds are provided to us in 2D).  For projects where documents are provided in 2D we produce a basic wire-frame of the building which has helped us to improve our in-house co-ordination between services. A sample of projects which we have recently documented in Revit can be found under the Projects page of our web site.

CAPTION COMPETITION

Well done to Paul Williams from Versaux who won the Caption Competition in our last newsletter with - Plumber to Consultant "What do you mean defect.  Your spec notes say, install a bidet, must be suitable for tall people."
The runners up were Michael Kilmartin from Brookfield Multiplex who suggested "With the 'Desal' plant being moth-balled we may need to reconsider flushing while we shower" and Chris Mantle of Chris Mantle Electrical Contractors who came up with "For the business man in a hurry. (Not visible is the sink to shave and clean your teeth."

This issue's photograph, which is a rather interesting bridge construction.


A bottle of wine is the prize for the person who suggests the best humorous caption for the bridge image.
