Manufacturing

IDC were employed to provide a fully coordinated BIM level 2 MEP model for a new build advanced manufacturing and educational facility. The works included:

  • Three separate plant decks containing eleven AHU’s & associated services.
  • Workshop area where the high level services were coordinated to suit multi-service modules.
  • A two-story office, education and recreation area.
  • Builders work drawings produced from the model to ensure any penetrations were accurately sized and located during the building fabric construction process.
  • COBie data incorporated within the final model to assist with the future facility management.

The prefabricated modules benefitted the project by reducing the time spent working at height, ensuring a tidy installation in exposed areas and satisfying the main contractor’s requirement for the use of prefabricated solutions during the construction phase.
