• Project Area: 541 acre

• LOD: 500
• Trades Covered: Site Electrical Utilities
• Software: Revit Fabrication 2022
• Verticals: Electrical

Challenges and Solutions:

Challenge 1: Coordinating area development
Solution: The sheer vastness needed to be coordinated with tones of conduits and handholds along with multiple trades was extremely challenging. With multiple elements and constant construction on site, keeping a log and tab on the changes is a humongous task. Having a thorough schedule and timeline helps keep things working in a smooth flow and deliverables sent on time. Eyes on the field and data received being incorporated on a timely basis are the keys to having successful coordination on a live site work.

Challenge 2: Modeling As-builts along with coordination
Solution: Along with the coordination of Electrical elements and conduits, the same is being installed and constructed on-site. Having to model the proposed and then revise the same to as-built with the site data is a time-consuming task. Keeping the model updated and not having duplicate data as much as possible is the goal. To achieve the same, we have segregated the proposed and As-built models to have as much of a clean slate for the inputs and constantly send the proposed data on-site for installation.

Challenges and Solutions:

• Issue:
  • Changes in Invert Level & Slope of drain pipes, to accommodate TDI connections with Drain pipes
• Solution:
  • After completion of trade clash coordination we were given time-bound architectural changes along plumbing lines raiser changes which was a challenge to coordinate the trades all over again. A quick turnaround on the revision of the BIM model while simultaneously working on clash coordination helped. Keeping up with the design changes at the last minute and sending deliverables on time was a high task. Having a dedicated team for BIM modeling and coordination supported to speed up the completion.
