The exceptional level of BIM data precision is the most vivid when it comes to dry utilities installation. Cable, fiber optics, telecom installations, natural gas pipelines, and electrical power lines must fit flawlessly within a given topographical area to avoid interference with other underground infrastructure. VEC’s Onsite Quality Control Services allow for capturing the tiniest details of slope angles and soil conditions, which will be reflected in the constructible model. Referring to the 3D model of future dry utilities for clash detection, structural improvements, and installation simulation reduces the number of site visits, accelerates project approval time, and increases the project’s cost efficiency.
Equip your construction project with an indispensable asset: predictability. With BIM frameworks you are able to see the future piping wet utilities networks before their actual fabrication and installation begins, mitigating the deviations as early as the design stage. We offer our deep industry expertise to design and install the sanitary sewer, storm drain, water line systems; stormwater detention systems; utility tunnels and power lines, substations, utility conduits, and much more. VEC’s experienced BIM & VDC teams take charge of civil underground projects, client relationships, field walks, remote team management, and production oversight.
When designing and constructing retaining walls, particularly those reinforced with GeoGrids, it's crucial to protect the GeoGrid reinforcement to ensure the long-term stability and performance of the structure. Through our expertise in modeling and detailing GeoGrids, VEC can assist in ensuring that retaining wall GeoGrid reinforcements are properly protected and coordinated with other underground utility systems throughout the construction BIM coordination process.
Our team employs cutting-edge BIM software to create precise models of underground Civil Utilities. While aligning these models with the design, occasional challenges may arise. We promptly document these issues and propose solutions while keeping our clients' preferences and methods in mind. This proactive approach expedites the BIM coordination process and minimizes potential delays.
Once solutions are proposed and approved during coordination by our clients and design teams, we generate Request for Information (RFI) documents to formalize the alterations and secure approval from the design team. Our entire workflow is meticulously tracked within our internal platform, ClickUp. Access to this platform can be granted for monitoring progress from the initial modeling stage to finalizing installation drawings.
Our project management and administration team excels in handling project intricacies with meticulous attention, safeguarding your bottom line at every turn. We maintain continuous communication to keep you well-informed of the project's status. In the event of challenges, rest assured that VEC is prepared to address them promptly.
VEC offers comprehensive wet and dry utility modeling and coordination services. Effective coordination of sub-surface elements is crucial in avoiding expensive on-site adjustments. Once harmonized, our model serves as a reference for providing precise layout points, and we also generate coordinated installation drawings to verify on-site compliance.
Although laser scanners are prevalent, harnessing their full potential remains a rarity. Laser scanning generates point clouds, often entailing data management challenges due to file size and data volume. Precise registration of numerous scans across multiple floors and vertical dimensions within a structure is crucial for data accuracy.
With many years of collective experience, VEC excels in deploying this technology for projects of different scales. Our approach involves comprehensive upfront inquiries, enabling optimal recommendations for 3D laser scanning, as-built modeling, clash reporting, and construction validation for existing conditions and new projects.
Precision in material quantities and its characteristics is paramount in civil underground work. VEC applies advanced BIM practices when performing Quantity Take-Off and Material Take-Off (QTO & MTO) Impact Analysis. Relying on the complete project data allocated in the meticulously itemized 3D model, we predict the level of amendments’ impact on the established project budget and identify the possible cost-saving opportunities. BIM-ensured accuracy of resource procurement and distribution secures the project with thought-through planning stage and conflicts-free field execution.
The success of a project is directly linked to the accuracy of the jobsite management. Meticulous onsite quality control guarantees the transparency of the human, financial and material resource consumption, which leads to the project's overall efficiency. To ensure accurate construction management, VEC offers 3D Laser Scanning and Trimble Layout services.
