- Project Overview
This project involved providing comprehensive BIM services for a large healthcare facility expansion and modernization project. Acting as the BIM Coordinator on behalf of the Mechanical Contractor, our team developed detailed HVAC and piping models, coordinated multidisciplinary systems, and facilitated clash-free construction through advanced BIM workflows.
Scope of Work
- Detailed HVAC equipment and ductwork modeling
- Chilled water, heating hot water and condensate piping modeling
- Mechanical room layout development
- Clash detection and resolution using Navisworks
- BIM coordination meetings and clash reporting
- Coordination with Architecture, Structure, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Protection trades
- Construction support and coordination drawings
- As-built model updates
Key Deliverables
- LOD 350 HVAC Model
- LOD 350 Mechanical Piping Model
- Clash Reports
- Coordination Drawings
- Mechanical Room Layouts
- Shop Drawing Support
- As-Built BIM Model
Project Challenges
- Congested ceiling spaces and mechanical rooms
- Multi-trade coordination requirements
- Active hospital operational constraints
- Complex routing of HVAC and piping systems
- Large volume of clash resolution management
Project Outcome
The coordinated BIM process minimized field conflicts, improved constructability, enhanced installation efficiency, and supported successful project delivery for the Mechanical Contractor.
