BIM Implementation and Clash Detection for Hospital Building

Project

Published by:
Datasheet
Company: Hitech BIM Services
Location: Ahmedabad, India
Year of the project: 2016
Description
Client Profile: 

The client is one of the world’s top global construction contractors & undertakes large infrastructure, commercial and industrial projects. 

Industry: 

Healthcare Construction 

Location: 

Egypt 

Inputs Received: 

PDF files 

Project Duration: 

The project lasted for about 45 days 

Challenges: 

  • The PDF files received from the client as input were too blur, so it was the biggest challenge for us to understand that without proper client coordination. 
  • The models prepared were too heavy as the level of detail was high, so it became a little difficult to work with such heavy files. 
  • There were too many clashes between the models. 

Solutions and Execution: 

  • The client approached us to implement BIM and eliminate clashes for the eye hospital building. 
  • Our project engineers helped the client to create architectural, structural & MEP BIM models with LOD 300 as per AIA standards. 
  • They studies the PDF files received from the client to convert it into intelligent BIM models using Revit. 
  • After that the team started to look into the coordination between the models, called Clash Detection & was successful in scrutinizing all the clashes. 
  • Finally, after multiple quality checks through matrix and checklist we delivered a federated 3D BIM LOD 300 model and shared it with the client. 

Benefits: 

  • The provided BIM model helped the client to detect and resolve all the inter-disciplinary clashes at an early stage. 
  • Helped in saving costs by eliminating reworks. 
  • Increased safety in managing public-business infrastructure. 
  • Reduced overall time with the help of project scheduling estimates. 
  • Increased profitability by reducing waste and surplus material order with the help of a material take-off plans. 
  • Made the overall construction process seamless, coordinated and error-free.
