For example, when additional production lines are planned beforehand but not realized at time of construction. It also requires the parties to communicate with each other so that, at the end the recess is generated at the correct position.Īnother difference is that industrial clients want to file future data in their dossier. Now with the MEP Openings and Openings manager app we can track and control the recesses. It was always a problem to get a recess on the correct position due to misinformation, design changes or lack of communication. One of the most important collaborations in projects is the coordination of recesses. With it, we can easily collaborate with other disciplines, which use Revit. Trimble MEP (Building Services and Electrical)įor the storage of Building Services data, we use the software package called Trimble MEP (previously known as StabiCAD).

Revit (Architectural, Structural, Civil).With these software tools, we can combine all the data from the disciplines into a single source. The building dossier is created with the help of Navisworks and Revizto. This causes compatibility issues and requires common ground formats to collaborate with one another. The difficulty here being that piping, mechanical and process use different software than architectural, structural, electrical and building services. This enormously increases the amount of data being stored and the need for intensified collaboration. However, a large industrial project would also require the disciplines: piping, mechanical, process and terrain facilities (pipelines and infrastructure). Let us say if you were to build an Office building then the disciplines would be limited to architectural, structural, electrical and building services. When working in a large industrial project there will be some extra disciplines to take part. This applies not only for food and pharma, but also for chemical plants and production buildings where the indoor air requirements are becoming more important. We see that Building Services is becoming more important for industrial projects and thus more prominently present. In this blog, I will point out some specific differences and problems. Nevertheless, this would be a very short blog were that the only thing to BIM Building Services in large industrial projects. Therefore, the approach of BIM is the same as any approach. It is a building dossier where all the relevant data is being stored to create a single source of truth. However, BIM is so much more than just a 3D model or a software package. I would immediately reply, what does BIM mean to you? The use of a 3D model is the answer most of the time. Sometimes people ask me if the BIM approach is different for large industrial projects.
