Our MEP Coordination Process
Loading MEP BIM Template
We start by loading the MEP BIM template, customized to meet the client's standards for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sanitary, and fire protection trades. This template provides a framework for consistent and accurate coordination.
Verifying the Architectural Model
Before linking the Architectural model with the MEP models, we thoroughly verify and check their coordination. By using the "Origin to Origin" positioning approach, we ensure proper alignment and integration between the architectural and MEP elements.
Preparing the MEP Model
Next, we prepare the MEP model for each discipline, including Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing. All relevant elements for coordination are included within the central file, ensuring comprehensive representation and accurate coordination.
Running Clash Detection
Using Navisworks, we coordinate the MEP models together, allowing us to identify clashes and conflicts between the coordinated elements. By running a clash detection test, we generate a detailed "Clash Report" that highlights clashes within the model.
Reviewing and Resolving Clashes
After identifying clashes, we proceed to review and resolve them. By reloading the cache in Navisworks, we ensure that the resolved clashes are indicated in yellow, indicating successful resolution. We also check for any new clashes, which are displayed in red, allowing us to address them promptly.
