Wet utilities installation requires multiple factors to be considered — the age of the existing underground infrastructure, soil condition, sufficient systems isolation, and a maintenance process thought through in advance. Civil underground trade contractors specializing in this type of work would benefit immensely from thorough site conditions analysis with the respective data stored in one place in its entirety, installation process predictability, and enhanced maintenance practices. VEC confidently covers the listed needs with our extended expertise in BIM and VDC.

Lay Grounds Confidently

The jobsite crew’s collaboration flows during and post-construction when they’re sure to keep the existing underground networks often built decades ago intact. Being calm and confident to always have the necessary wet utilities systems data at hand only adds efficiency to the field work. Here’s what ensures VEC brings this spirit to fruition:

Common data environment

With BIM, the previous and newly generated data on the wet utilities infrastructure is being stored in one 3D model available to all the stakeholders and trades who have access to it. Changes made to one area of the virtual model impact the respective model fields and are visible to all, facilitating the collaboration
between parties.

construction challenges simulation

BIM software allows for construction process simulation, which makes it possible to predict and prevent potential collisions between old and new systems. This feature also provides real-time construction scheduling, making the crews proactive in project advancement rather than reactive and dependent upon multiple external factors.

next-level asset management

Because the wet utilities’ 3D model stores all the relevant data, it does not go anywhere after the project’s sign-off. Operation and maintenance specialists are able to access it when needed and, relying upon the meticulously gathered and carefully organized information, perform the necessary work.

FAQ

What does the job of the wet utilities civil underground trade contractor entail?

Wet utilities civil underground trade contractor, or subcontractor, is a construction professional specializing in the installation and maintenance of the wet utilities pipelines of the building’s underground systems: storm drainage, sewage, and water systems.

How can I be sure to be able to access the construction process simulation on my PC?

To ensure the data interoperability, the BIM software and its required release version that will be used during the project for 3D modeling, construction sequence/challenges simulation, cost calculations, progress tracking, and more is indicated and agreed upon in the BIM Execution Plan (BEP).

How does BIM help access the existing wet utility pipelines built decades ago faster and more accurately?

BIM technology implies the usage of 3D laser scanning tools for site surveying and data analysis. 3D laser scanner allows mapping out the underground networks with millimeter precision, identifying any leaks, cracks, or corrosion points along the way. This renders the jobsite crew well-informed and confident not to damage the existing infrastructure.
