Scope of Work:

  • Sheet Metal 3D Model
  • Mechanical Piping 3D Model
  • BIM coordination with other trades
  • Shop drawing/2D drawing
  • Riser drawing
  • Spool drawing
  • MAJ for Fabrication job

Challenges & Solutions:

Challenge 1:

After completion of the model the client wanted to change all the TDC connectors to TDF.

Solution 1:

Since there wasn't a direct option to convert the connector within a closed loop, we opted to choose several fabrication parts simultaneously. Subsequently, we utilized the "Export Job File" tool, saving the resulting file as MAJ.

Challenge 2:

According to the provided drawing, if we were to position all the services within the corridor, there would not be adequate space to accommodate them.

Solution 2:

To address this issue, we rerouted the ductwork and pipework from the corridor into the room and submitted a Request for Information (RFI) to obtain the client's approval. This adjustment allowed us to arrange the services appropriately and proceed with the installation.

Pinnacle’s Value Addition:

The project Watauga Medical Center Boone NC required to be dealt with thorough precision in terms of sheet metal modeling and fabrication to make sure the other construction trade works and facility resources are coordinated well keeping the space constraint in mind. To accomplish this most pertinently, we involved our proficient team of BIM coordination Services experts and utilized our top-end expertise at working on Fabrication 2019 software. With our specialized 3D Modeling Services for sheet metal projects, we identified the most pliable sheet metal application options and utilized the space optimally while keeping the designs and workflows coordinated across trades.
