ENGDOC are pleased to have completed the BIM support and co-ordination work on behalf of Brendan Mellett Electrical at Claremorris Primary Care Centre.
With the project utilising BIM as a design and construction tool, the first undertaking was to verify that the building model and site conditions were aligned. This involved carrying out a point cloud scan which was used primarily to confirm builderswork opening dimensions. Once this was confirmed we proceeded with setting the level of the electrical containment runs. This due diligence removed the need to adjust levels and ensured no unforeseen obstacles presented themselves during the installation phase.
Later works in this project included clash detection and co-ordination meetings where we worked with the site teams to minimise clashes as we prepared the working installation drawings.
Technical information on the actual equipment being installed was added as the submittals process advanced. This allowed suitable COBie information to be included in the model prior to handover.
Finally, we returned to site with our point cloud scan station to record the ‘as installed’ site conditions. These were compared to the model to ensure that both the graphical and non-graphical elements of the BIM model were both accurate and ready before passing on to the facilities management team at handover.
