Challenges and Solutions

Challenge 1: Ceiling Space Constraints

• Issue:
  • Condensate drain pipe clashed with ceiling and fire protection pipes below ceiling.
• Solutions:
  • Drop ceiling to accommodate pipes.
  • Use a pump for condensate drain at units.
  • Reduce pipe run length by dropping pipe into nearest mop sink.

Challenge 2: Exposed Plumbing Risers in Rooms

• Issue:
  • Plumbing risers exposed or in the middle of rooms per design.
• Solution:
  • Coordinate and reroute plumbing pipes to conceal or relocate them appropriately.

Challenges and Solutions:

Challenge 1: Coordination in Corridors

• Issue:
  • Congested corridors with units, refrigerant pipes, light fixtures, and fire protection (FP) systems.
• Solution:
  • Relocated units to adjacent rooms to clear space in corridors, resolving clashes with other trades. Changes were submitted for approval.

Challenge 2: Concurrent Modeling and Fieldwork

• Issue:
  • Modelling, coordination, and drawing submissions overlapped with fieldwork, posing challenges for accuracy and documentation.
• Solution:
  • Implemented a ‘Deliverable Log’ to track revisions and provide links to the latest drawings/models. Mobilised resources to ensure timely and accurate delivery of multiple deliverables to the client.
