Research and Development
Digital & BIM
We implement the adoption of digital transformation, integrating digital technology in all areas of the company, which contributes to making value engineering more efficient. This is enabled by continuous research and development, the use of proven procedures and a team of over 40 people, certified according to UNI 11337-7:2018 and UNI/PdR 78:2020 EXPERT IN BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING. Artelia Italia's BIM management system was also assessed and found to be compliant with the requirements of UNI PdR 74:0219, a certification that has additional relevance as it is consistent with ISO 9001 and the Artelia Group's quality procedures. We have consolidated experience in the BIM field for over a decade, already adopting, among others, the international process standards BS/ PAS 1192, some of which are included in UNI EN ISO 19650, with software dedicated to the development of design data, coordination and BIM Validation procedures. Within Digital Innovation, BIM is an extremely important factor for the effectiveness of the collaboration between the design disciplines and the different phases of the work, from the design, implementation and management of the same. The Artelia team develops and manages digital information models of buildings and infrastructural works, which possess all the information, geometric and informative, provided at the correct level of detail necessary for the design phase, to develop analysis, integrated design and better manage the complexities of construction and subsequent management and maintenance. We are able to identify problems of feasibility, costs, planning and coordination in a timely manner.
This allows us to improve the planning and execution of projects in the field. Digital Innovation and BIM are constantly evolving concepts. The factors on which Artelia Italia bases a conscious and secure adoption of this process in its projects are Professionals, close-knit Teams, hardware
resources and cloud/software platforms. In the Virtual Reality context, Artelia has used this technology to present the projects for the renewal of the image of the network of dealers of a well-known car manufacturer in Europe. Virtual tours and augmented reality have allowed us to offer end customers a tangible experience of the planned transformations, offering them the opportunity to choose the furnishings interactively.
ESG
To meet the growing global challenges, Artelia Italia is developing a new ESG Analysis service. This service responds to new market demands on evaluations of the degree of reliability of a company in terms of sustainability. This evaluation takes place through the analysis of the Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) aspects that constitute the core of the Social Responsibility of an organisation (CSR), and is possible thanks to the union of corporate skills in the application of new strategies of corporate social responsibility and sustainable management. In fact, Artelia Italia adopts the CSR to improve the social context in which it operates and meet the expectations of its customers, operating in an innovative, inclusive system, which at the same time creates more favourable conditions for the Company’s business. Environmental sustainability and energy efficiency represent a fundamental challenge for
the future and Artelia Italia is firmly committed to this mission, with actions aimed at improving the environment from an economic, social and natural point of view. The aim is to create places that are ecologically responsible, healthy, fair and profitable. Constructive processes account for a large proportion of all greenhouse gas emissions. We aim to transform the way buildings are designed, built and managed, helping to create an environment that is ecologically and socially responsible, healthy and aimed at improving the quality of life. The achievement of Environmental Certifications, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) and WELL is possible through an integrated design process, which identifies overlapping relationships, services and redundancies between systems so that interdependencies and benefits, which would otherwise have gone unnoticed, can be exploited to the fullest, thus increasing performance and reducing costs. Our LEED AP, BREEAM AP, WELL AP and energy modelling teams are made up of specialised professionals who work in synergy with the design and construction teams in order to create healthy, high-performance and energy- efficient buildings with a sustainable approach, following the entire process from the very first phase of the concept until certification is obtained.
