bim keeps project on track
TRANSCRIPT
McKenney’s installed a highly-complex HVAC system at the Riverside EpiCenter multipurpose
venue—a facility designed to serve its mem-bers and the community.
THE CHALLENGEInstalling a large chilled water HVAC system to service this 107,000-square-foot facility consisting of a gym, bowling alley, auditorium, meeting and event center required meticulous
planning and coordination. With multiple floor and ceiling elevations, significant duct work distribution was necessary. The team also had to meet very precise system performance and theater quality noise requirements.
THE SOLUTIONMcKenney’s used expertise in 3D systems detailing and Building Information Modeling (BIM) for constructability reviews and collision checking of overhead spaces. This technology
creates virtual 3D planning models to coor-dinate all the building systems—including those of other trades involved. Systems were installed in a sequenced layout to ensure the teams met the strict architectural needs and installation schedule requirements.
THE RESULTSMcKenney’s completed the project on time and within budget—while exceeding the specified system quality requirements.
