In fast-track EPC projects, the three stages of design, procurement, and construction are planned differently for each process and progress simultaneously. The most challenging aspect is that the entire design is individually carried out from the perspective of each sub-process, and during the repetition of compilation and revision, it is necessary to identify and reflect on the areas where procurement and construction have already been completed when modifying the design. Bimsontop has developed the EPC performance monitoring strategy to address these challenges in fast-track EPC projects. The means of EPC performance monitoring are as follows:
-
Periodically sharing clash detection results with design collaborators and leading design consistency.
-
Monitoring and managing work history by trade and by contractor down to the individual level.
-
Regularly charting and reporting clash detection results and progress rates to stakeholders.
Performance monitoring allows easy visualization of the attributes of the design-procurement-construction stages in chart form, which can be utilized as materials for progress management and decision-making meetings. Additionally, it provides risk management indicators to predict potential issues in fast-track construction projects using the data.
Development of Ground Rules for Clash Detection and Process Automation
· Filtering meaningful items during clash detection
· Unification and automation of processes based on Ground Rules
· History tracking of space management
Clash detection is a crucial project management indicator in the design stage or fast-track processes. It is essential in industrial facilities dominated by production equipment, such as plants, and a key method for MEP design carried out by different parties. When conducting clash detection on millions of MEP model objects using Navisworks, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of clash items may be aggregated. By selecting and systematizing items to be excluded from clashes according to the project's characteristics, it becomes possible to filter only meaningful items from mechanically detected clashes.
Bimsontop develops and computerizes Ground Rules for clash detection tailored to the project's specific characteristics, unifying and periodically tracking the clash detection process. The Ground Rules for clash detection consist of, first, selecting the level and category combinations of trades to be reviewed for clashes, and second, establishing the level and procedures for items to be excluded from clashes. This provides BIM model standards suitable for EPC construction projects and enables the tracking and management of complex object clashes across multiple trades.
