For past several years, coordinating MEP – mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment and layout across the facilities has dealt with the approach of overlaying the drawings and sequentially comparing them. Spatial and functional interferences, popularly known as clashes, are then dealt with professionals from multi-disciplines.
Iterative in nature, such coordination process usually involves several revisions before finalization of one set of coordinated drawings. However, with BIM – Building Information Modeling, working on the basis of 3D object oriented approach and knowledge based reasoning has empowered MEP contractors to come out with efficient planning, designing and installation of equipment across the facility.
MEP coordination is an integral part in setting up and laying out the designs across the facility. It serves as the key resource in connecting various building elements and making the facility fully operational. MEP coordination is the only link efficient in…
