MEP Modeling & MEP BIM Coordination for 51 Moorgate, UK

Project Highpoints

Project Synopsis

MEP Modeling Services, MEP BIM Coordination

Project Objective

The objective of this project was to perform MEP BIM Modeling &?MEP BIM Co-ordination with respect to Architectural, Structural and MEP services along with shop drawings, uniclass coding for fully-refurbished, high-quality and sustainable Grade A offices in the city of London as per Design drawings.

Client Summary

The client had provided us Markups, Links of Architecture and Structure model along with Navis files for making better coordinated model.

Project Summary

This project consisted of BIM Modeling and Co-ordination for Office building having 7 floors, roof top level, lower ground floor, ground floor and basement. We had created 3D Revit Model for the building which pass out low energy and highly efficient services throughout. The building office area is 25000 square feet.Modeling was done taking the design drawings into consideration. The client has provided us with the Navis files to make it better for the coordination.

The client had provided us Markups, Architecture and Structure links along with the Navis file including: –

• General arrangement plan
• Lighting control layout
• Reflected ceiling plan
• Electrical containment markups
• Fan coil unit and DX tray setting out details
• Fan coil unit and Ductwork setting out details

Project Completion Year

2019

Project Deliverables

3D Revit Model floor wise with coordination, Shop Drawing and Uniclass coding. Following are the MEP Services executed by Tesla:

• Ductwork setting out details
• Dx tray setting out details
• Electrical containment details
• Lighting and fire alarms
• Drainage
• Combined services

Challenges

• The project was completed and delivered successfully despite of the various challenges faced while working on the project. The project required high detailed and concentrated model for which we had experts to work on.
• This project had major coordination issues for risers, route updation, meeting the level of accuracy and proper understanding of the input. Also working on coordination of all phases of this level was a challenging task however it was well executed by Tesla team.
• Giving asset numeric identifier to each and every element without any duplication of the element while doing coordination.
• Coordinating all the services in the ceiling void of 800mm comprising of structural frames including voids.
• Created all the parametric families in plant room with the given improper CAD duct Navis Model was challenging.
• We were given the updated plans in pdf for lighting fixtures and fire alarms because of which we had to remodel everything in the .RCP file again.
• For drainage, we were not given the pdf files so we had to trace according to the Navis files.
