Mechanical Electrical and Plumbing 3D Modeling for MEP BIM Services

Mechanical Electrical and Plumbing 3D Modeling for MEP BIM Services

For the construction of a building, 3D MEP modeling services bring about a 3D design, drafting, and visualization of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire systems of a building. These involve creating separate models for each discipline i.e Mechanical 3D Model, Electrical 3D Model, Plumbing Model, and Fire system, which is well-coordinated among each other along with other disciplines of the building. These are usually created from the 2D information given by the consultant, architect, and suppliers or directly from the MEP BIM Services given by relevant discipline. 

Every item created in the 3D model comes out as a true representation of the real entity with utmost detailing. The items represented in the model show the dimensions based on appropriately scaled fittings and blocks. The model is developed in such a manner that it stimulates the construction process for identifying and rectifying clashes, minimizing issues on-site, reducing rework thereby helping save money and time. Furthermore, these 3D models can be brought to use to generate 2D service coordination drawings, elevations, and sections at any scale and any of the vertical or horizontal locations. 

Mechanical 3D Modelling:

This includes the creation of coordinated and computable information about the mechanical design of the building. It becomes one of the most effective ways to get a view of the building even before the process starts. These models are a perfect solution to coordinate all the elements of the building before starting the installation, helping faster construction and resource management. With such a service one can have complete control over the data and bring about the designing quickly. With MEP BIM modeling services there can be a creation of accurate models for any of the objects having all the layouts to support walk-throughs. A mechanical BIM model can have Mechanical shop drawings, spool drawings, HVAC duct, and pipe modeling, fabrication drawings, cooling, and heating systems modeling, fire protection drawings, and much more. 

Electrical 3D Modelling

The electrical systems design of building infrastructure is modeled here using BIM Software like Autodesk and Revit. The electrical services of the building like the 2D Electrical cable layouts, electrical lighting, and electrical power drawings, wiring diagrams are represented in a 3-dimensional view from the cut sheets and design documents. The model generated will bring about the 3D view and walkthrough depicting all the lighting fixtures, electrical equipment, communication and data transmission devices, fire alarm locations, tray layouts, conduits, etc. An electrical model can have various sub-models: cable tray layouts, electrical riser modeling, fabrication drawing, electrical shop drawings, builders work, parametric modeling, etc.,

Plumbing 3D Modelling

Plumbing Model facilitates 3D visualization of every kind of plumbing related element present in the building. There can be fittings, quantity estimations, fabrication drawings, spool drawings, or any of the plumbing drafting and detailing services from the configuration, drafting, and roughing. The 3D Plumbing Model is checked for clashes and is well-coordinated with all the elements of a MEPF BIM or any other discipline like an architectural BIM model or structural model. This will help plumbing contractors to reduce rework and wastage during the construction stage, thereby decreasing the overall project cost and increase efficiency. Different types of 3D Plumbing Models are Natural Gas Piping Model, Water distribution pipe modeling, domestic water pipe modeling, drainage water piping model, HVAC duct and HVAC pipe modeling, Drainage plans, water supply, and distribution, etc., 

While mechanical, electrical, and plumbing form the most crucial parts of the MEP BIM Modeling  Services of a building, Fire Safety drawings are an important discipline too which has been growing in demand in recent years due to the increase in sustainability and safety norms. Apart from being one of the essential services in the infrastructure and real estate industry, mechanical and electrical modeling is growing in demand for the manufacturing industry to design the most suitable machinery and equipment.
