For large capital projects, it is important to keep the client’s or operator’s goals in mind during architectural and engineering design to reduce risk and ensure data availability requirements are met. Using BIM on projects helps improve collaboration between different parties in this process. Digital models with information content allow project data to be updated and structured by each stakeholder, minimizing issues that may arise during field implementation.
We would like to share with you some of the applications we use to create and develop BIM-based data center projects.
Working with Smart Parametric Revit MEP Models
MEP equipment is the most important element of a data center. An uncontrolled design or an application that is not in accordance with the design will jeopardize the purpose of the Data Center. Coordination between many disciplines and subcontractors, targeted efficiency and performance are only possible with proper communication.
Before building Data Centers, BIM models of these complex systems must be created, all disciplines must be seen together and various analyses must be performed. In BIM models, a profitable result is obtained with the help of high detail (LOD) and information about the models (LOI). Especially with the help of interdisciplinary coordination, it allows us to detect all possible conflicts and problems in the future and easily solve them in a digital environment. We can even go one step further and easily access many data such as energy efficiency analyses, voltage drop calculations, lighting analyses and heat analyses. BIM covers the entire process of a structure, such as manufacturing, assembly, infrastructures, workshop drawings and operating processes. Another advantage of BIM is that it allows many designers and engineers to work in different positions and disciplines at the same time.
EAE Group BIM Solutions
Data centers are among the most complex types of buildings. They are also in the category of critical facilities. In such buildings, a significant amount of coordination is required in tight spaces. To move this process and complex structure forward quickly and without errors, the right BIM solutions are needed.
As is known, cabinet and corridor closure solutions are product groups that take up space in white space and are shaped around other designs. Therefore, the positioning of cabinet and corridor closure products is very important. With EAE Group, Revit KabinPLUS BIM add-on, it is now possible to design faster and more accurately. This software, which can be installed as an add-on to Autodesk Revit, can be completed in a few seconds with the help of the interface that appears. One of the most important features of this solution is that it creates a design according to your needs based on production standards. The material list of the KabinPLUS products used in the project can be easily created without doing anything else. All kinds of technical questions and solutions can be easily reached with the technical support help button. You can examine how the KabinPLUS Revit add-on works in BIM projects in more detail from the link below.
