MEP Clash Coordination & 3D Modeling for Educational Facility, in MA
Business Needs
The client required a precisely coordinated plumbing system that integrated smoothly with other mechanical,electrical,fire protection and structural components. Given the complexity of the project, Tejjy Inc. was chosen as MEP Revit Modeling service provider in USA for educational institute
The key needs included-
- Ensuring accurate integration with other building systems namely, HVAC, electrical, and structural elements.
- Utilizing Building Information Modeling for clash identification and mitigation.
- Ensuring that the plumbing designs adhered to local building codes and standards.
- Optimizing Space Utilization by developing efficient routing strategies within tight mechanical spaces.
- For accurate as-built documentation of MEP systems use of scan-to-BIM approach.
Challenges
- While working on Middle School in Massachusetts ( MA ), USA project, the design conflicts and clashes with other building systems were a significant challenge. With missing as-built data the chances of installation errors and delays were high. A thorough clash detection process was required to mitigate these risks.
- Optimizing plumbing pipe layouts within confined mechanical spaces was an intricate task. Our team needed to explore various routing options to find the most space-saving solution.
- While designing special consideration had to be given to efficient water flow, accessibility for maintenance, and compliance with building codes, which was a challenge due to the space constraints of the facility.
- Ensuring seamless coordination with structural and HVAC systems was critical to avoiding conflicts during installation. Any misalignment in design or execution could have resulted in on-site inefficiencies.
Our Solutions & Approach
- Our proficient team utilized Revit 2024 and Revizto for early clash detection and resolution. This facilitated smooth integration of plumbing systems with other mechanical, electrical and structural components.
- Tejjy’s in-house team of architects and designers then developed highly detailed and accurate plumbing drawings that aligned with construction requirements.
- BIM 360’s cloud-based environment facilitated seamless collaboration between trades. Our collaborative approach helped streamline communication , reduced delays, instant access to updated models, drawings, and approvals.
- We designed space-efficient plumbing layouts to navigate tight mechanical spaces. The design was crafted while maintaining accessibility for future maintenance. This ensured that the system remained compliant with industry standards.
- Precise as-built drawings to reflect the final installed conditions for future maintenance and facility management.
Business Impact
- Early clash detection minimized costly rework during installation.
- BIM-based collaboration streamlined decision-making across trades.
- Optimized workflows led to faster approvals and execution.
- Efficient design reduced material waste and unnecessary rework expenses.
- Precise documentation ensured smooth project handover with accurate as-builts.
