The technology has been used to create a live, fully navigable 3D model of the new medical centre, walking through operating theatres, assessing the positioning of medical gas outlets, and mapping patient flows through clinical spaces, months before construction reaches those areas.
The project has brought clinicians, engineers, and construction teams together in a shared digital environment, helping project teams resolve design issues, reduce errors, and minimise costly rework, with clash detection time reduced from a week to 10-15 minutes.
Spanning 47,000 square metres, and with over 100 daily onsite users and contractors across 20 disciplines, the project involves the redevelopment of highly specialised environments ranging from operating theatres, blackout rooms and research laboratories to a dedicated emergency department.
Lewis Wenman, Lead BIM Manager at Bouygues UK said, 鈥淭raditionally, delivery specialists in different construction disciplines 鈥� whether that鈥檚 structural engineers, MEP contractors, or fire safety teams 鈥� are working from separate drawings and models, often shared weeks apart. Errors compound invisibly until they surface on site, where fixing them exponentially is more expensive.
"At Moorfields and UCL Centre for Eye Health, with Revizto that fragmentation is being replaced with a single live environment, accessible to every team on the project. Design conflicts are being surfaced automatically, and issues are logged, tracked, owned and resolved in real-time. That's the difference between weeks of back-and-forth and a 10-minute conversation.鈥�
The new Moorfields and UCL Centre for Eye Health is expected to welcome its first patients in summer 2027. A partnership between Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, and Moorfields Eye Charity the centre will relocate current services from Moorfields at City Road.
