The challenge
What we were solving for.
All twenty-eight tie-ins had to occur on a live chilled water loop with no permitted loss of cooling capacity.
Routing for the new chillers competed with existing risers, electrical gear, and structural bracing.
Our approach
How BimCon delivered.
- Captured the existing plant and tie-in zones with terrestrial scanners and built a verified-as-built reference model.
- Coordinated new piping, pumps, and electrical service against confirmed clearances with weekly clash reviews.
Scope of work
What BimCon delivered.
BIM coordination
Multi-trade clash detection, weekly cadence, published issue log and resolution tracking.
MEP detailing
LOD 400 fabrication-level modeling for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and process trades.
Scan-to-BIM modeling
Verified-as-built Revit model authored from the registered point cloud at the agreed LOD.
