digital architectural engineering

PBI, coordinator of the design and production of digital walls.

Ever-evolving digital displays have become architectural elements, just like a window, siding or a fountain.

In view of the complexity of the technical solutions and all the interactions with the other lots such as lighting, HVAC, joinery, acoustics and considering the amounts of work to be considered, PBI has put together a service offering to integrate the design of these systems and their implementation in a framework that has proven its efficiency in management of construction operations.

Hanging a large TV on the wall is not a construction project. On the other hand, dressing surfaces of non-standard shape and size with digital displays, suspended, or mobile or in facades or in a pool become real complex works.

Once out of standard formats, display management requires tailor-made hardware, system, and software solutions. Content design obviously has the same constraints.

For example, if the operator cannot withstand the failure of these displays, redundant systems and possibly substitute content or degraded operating modes should be designed.

The design choices, but also the embodiments or the means dedicated to the maintenance and production of content are all subjects to be addressed globally.

Thinking

PBI is working on these subjects and offers support to its clients in this type of project. The services we offer are identical to those of a standard construction project:

• Work description
• Tender documents production
• Cost control
• Implementation monitoring and coordination of the trades
• Establishment of maintenance strategies

Interfaces management

A successful installation must consider interactions with other trades:

• The shell
• Plastering
• Hard coatings
• Lighting
• Home automation
• Electricity
• Air conditioning and ventilation
• Carpentry and layout
• Sealing
• Facade coverings

PBI goals:

Make sure our clients secure their investments and get what they expect. PBI ensures technology watch that avoids jumping on the latest technology without validation.
