Our Advanced BIM Capabilities for MEP Systems

 

A good MEP engineering service should be seamless and must go virtually unnoticed. Designing MEP systems that balance comfort, cost, efficiency, and aesthetics requires a team effort. Pinnacle Infotech facilitates this and helps with quick decision-making, cost estimation, documentation, building management, and maintenance.

As the top BIM services provider we cater to the needs of mechanical, plumbing and electrical (MEP) contractors worldwide. Our clash free BIM models enable better communication and collaboration among the stakeholders involved in the building design and construction.

We make sure all information is available at the consultants’ and engineers’ fingertips so they can make informed project decisions. Our expertise in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, BIM modeling, and knowledge of BIM software enables us to work with construction experts from design to handover stages of the project.

Over the years, we have collaborated with major MEP engineering firms and contractors and have provided BIM modeling services for complex and iconic building projects.

 

Advantages of BIM in MEP Engineering

 

  1. Clash Detection and Fixing: BIM allows for early clash detection and fixing of MEP systems and other building components, reducing rework and coordination issues.
  2. Collaboration: BIM enables MEP engineers, architects, and other stakeholders to collaborate better by providing a single platform to share information and coordinate designs.
  3. Visualization: BIM models allow MEP engineers to create detailed 3D models of systems to better understand and communicate designs to clients and project teams.
  4. Energy Analysis and Simulation: BIM tools allow MEP engineers to do energy analysis and simulation to optimize system designs for better performance and energy efficiency.
  5. Cost Estimation and Quantity Takeoff: BIM models can be used to generate cost estimates and quantity takeoff so that MEP engineers and contractors can understand project costs and material requirements.

MEP BIM Modeling Services with Quality Assurance

Our team generates accurate 3D MEP models from a wide range of inputs, such as Design & Contract Documents and project specification sheets. Some of the major 3D modeling services for MEP systems are:

  • Heating and cooling systems 3D models
  • Fire protection systems modeling
  • Clash reports
  • HVAC Duct model
  • HVAC pipe model
  • Parametric modeling
  • Electrical riser modeling
  • Plumbing systems modeling, etc.

MEP BIM coordination is among our core services. Our experts follow a defined roadmap in order to identify and resolve conflicts between different trades and deliver an accurate, clash-free MEP model of the project. Our team:

  • Reviews all the designs, including Architectural, Structural, and MEP Designs.
  • Creates a 3D model from the input provided.
  • Detects the clashes and resolves them in order to create coordinated drawings.

Once coordinated drawings are created, our experts create individual service drawings, spool drawings, and other relevant drawings to prevent construction delays and enhance project outcomes.

At Pinnacle, our team specializes in optimizing your designs to make them constructable. We ensure that the construction data provided in the models is adequate to begin construction for the project participants, including MEP contractors at the site.

Value engineering is the optimization of the design of various MEP components, such as HVAC systems, to reduce construction costs, shorten installation time, and improve system efficiency and project lifecycle costs.

We provide value-added services to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors by improving system efficiency, rerouting the MEP component network, and relocating the fixtures/ equipment.

We generate accurate shop drawings from the BIM model for your construction projects. These drawings are detailed enough for workshop fabrication and/or on-site construction.

Types of Shop Drawings/Description

  • Floor plan layout – Plan view of a particular area
  • CSD / Overlay Drawing – Combined services drawings, including all trades drawings
  • Section Drawing – Sectional view of a particular area
  • Details Drawings – Sectional, plan, or isometric view with a detailed description of an area
  • Riser Drawings – Equipment or fixture connections diagram for building systems, floor-by-floor
  • Penetration Drawing – Plan view with detailed information of sleeve and cut-outs for wall and slab
  • Insert Drawings – Plan view with field locations / coordinate points for hanger rod/insert
  • Spool / CAM – Detailed drawings of pipes, ducts, and associated components of a particular part/network for fabrication
  • Equipment Pad / Plinth Layout – Plan view with location and specification of equipment base/pad
  • As-Built Drawings – Diagram of services (model, shop drawing) as per field installation

Digital Prefabrication has enabled mechanical and plumbing contractors to drastically improve productivity. Our engineers and architects offer digital prefabrication solutions for MEP systems of your projects.

We follow consistent and reliable ISO 9001:2015-certified processes to produce accurate spool drawings and maps as per the client’s standards. These segmented spools contain details to facilitate prefabrication. Once fabricated, they can be quickly assembled and installed at the site, leading to higher operational efficiency.

Key benefits of our digital prefabrication services –

  • Meticulous inspection of individual systems
  • Build quality improvements
  • Short construction schedules
  • Lower costs
  • Easy Installation
  • Minimum material wastage

Accurate Construction estimation at the pre-construction stage is crucial for mechanical, plumbing, and firefighting contractors to win new projects.

Generation of estimates using leading industry software tools such as Quotesoft & in-house software modules to deliver:

  • Accurate length and size of ducts and pipes
  • Total number of fittings, accessories & equipment
  • Quantity and cost of material
  • Labor cost (fabrication, installation & others)
  • Material and material cost
  • Linear and wrap cost

We offer laser scanning services for the renovation of existing MEP systems.

  • Data-rich 3D models, including information like warranties, equipment lists, and product data for facility management.
  • The COBie format allows data to be gathered throughout the design phase, which is subsequently transferred to the owner.

With our solutions, we enhance the accuracy and productivity of the layout process of the construction project.

Frequently Asked Questions

BIM (Building Information Modeling) in MEP is a type of information modeling that includes detailed information about the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems of a building.

To create an MEP BIM model, engineers, and architects use different BIM software applications to input data about the MEP systems and components, like the performance and operating characteristics of the systems. Contractors use these MEP models to enhance decision-making, coordination, and communication throughout the project.

There are multiple advantages of using BIM in MEP, including clash detection, collaboration, visualization, energy analysis and simulation, cost estimation, and quantity takeoff.

Yes, the MEP team at Pinnacle Infotech creates information-rich MEP models for construction projects across the world. Our MEP engineers create and manage digital representations of MEP systems of your project using software like Autodesk Revit and other modeling tools.

Yes, Pinnacle Infotech provides clash detection services for MEP components in your construction projects. We generate a coordinated BIM model after resolving the clashes among all the trades (Architecture, Structure, Concrete, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, etc.). Clashes are resolved by re-routing utilities, changing elevation, and resizing.

We use numerous specialized tools and software for offering building design and information modeling services, such as AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, and Trace.
