innacle created the 3D BIM Model of “Rehabilitation PHospital of Northern Arizona” for “RKS mechanical & plumbing” - a new construction consisting of 1
Building with 2 floors, divided into 9 separate zones (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H & J) (underground and Level 1) at Level of Development (LOD) 400. These models were used to produce shop drawing for construction and also to meet various objectives of the project including 3D coordination, clash mitigation, quantity take-offs and visualization.

A. Water supply pipes passing through solid beams - We run all water supply pipes through webbing bar joists. However, in between joists some solid beams were available, clashing with water pipes.

1. Running pipes through joist but to avoid clashes, we need to take offset in every solid beam for a cost effective solution2. Using sleeves in solid beams to let the pipes pass through3. Lowering pipes below the joist, but pipes to hit the duct
