Design Review
We evaluate architectural, structural and MEP drawings in order to find out the electrical needs and routing prior to the modeling process.
Electrical BIM coordination refers to the creation of 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) model of the electrical systems to coordinate them properly with other building elements such as HVAC systems, plumbing, fire protection systems and structural components. Electrical BIM coordination includes the planning of cable tray routes, conduits, lightings, and power distribution systems to detect and solve clashes beforehand. Designheed offers electrical BIM coordination solutions to help project managers increase the accuracy of the design, avoid clashes at the construction site, minimize reworks and make installation easy.
Why Electrical Coordination Matters
Electrical systems may appear to be less bulky compared to HVAC, but cable trays, ladders and busducts go along the same paths, spaces in the ceilings and shafts as ducts and pipes do. The trays are spacious, require straight and smooth curves and have to avoid contact with water pipes and heat sources. Once ducts and chilled water pipes go first, the trays fit wherever left.
Electrical BIM coordination will ensure that trays, conduits and panels go together with all other trades in the models, thus allowing solving conflicts virtually. All trades will agree on tray separation, distances between panels and the spacing of their support at an early stage and avoid any re-routes and expensive safety problems on-site. When it comes to electrical BIM modeling in Dubai, where the void in the ceiling is limited and projects are rushed, it becomes critical.
