UK Medical Center Pavilion H Behavioral Health Unit Renovation, Kentucky

Pinnacle delivered MEP BIM Modeling Services in Kentucky for the UK Medical Center Pavilion H Behavioral Health Unit renovation in Lexington.

The project involved developing 2D and 3D drawings for an 11,240 sq. ft. healthcare facility. The scope covered plumbing, electrical, mechanical piping, and sheet metal services.

Pinnacle coordinated with CINFAB LLC for the ducting scope and Thomas J. Dyer Company for mechanical piping and plumbing. This coordination helped support seamless project delivery within the scheduled timeline.

MEP BIM Modeling, Coordination & Shop Drawing Services in Kentucky

Pinnacle developed 2D and 3D drawings for mechanical piping, plumbing, and sheet metal systems.

The team coordinated new services with existing building conditions and identified connection points using point cloud data.

Pinnacle used space management and a dedicated fly zone to accommodate multiple services. Where required, the team resized ducts and modeled existing elements for demolition based on site conditions.

The scope also included coordination reviews with other services and preparation of shop drawings for project delivery.

Challenges & Solutions

Renovating an Existing Conventional Structure

Challenge: The project involved renovating a conventionally designed building. Existing conditions made it difficult to identify exact connection points for new services

Solution: Pinnacle used point cloud data to identify existing connection points and coordinate new services at the required elevations.

Limited Space for New Services

Challenge: Multiple services needed to share the available ceiling and service spaces within the existing structure.

Solution: The team established a fly zone for its services and prioritized space management. This approach helped reserve sufficient space for other building systems

Adapting Services to Existing Conditions

Challenge: Existing site conditions required modifications to planned service routes.

Solution: Pinnacle resized ducts where required and identified existing elements for demolition based on site conditions.

Value Delivered Through MEP BIM Modeling

Pinnacle's unique project delivery approach helped the project team:

  • Develop coordinated 2D and 3D MEP documentation.
  • Identify existing connection points using point cloud data.
  • Optimize available space for multiple building services.
  • Adapt new service routes to existing site conditions.
  • Support coordination with multiple project stakeholders.
  • Deliver the required drawings within the scheduled project timeline.
