Underground BIM Modeling

Prefabrication in the field of electrical construction involves various procedures including construction feasibility studies, making prompt detailed estimates, and purchase of long lead products. The technique of prefabrication has a vital role in the ever-changing electrical construction industry. Current and future construction use prefabricated parts to ensure timely and affordable completion of projects. Prefabrication has a promising future in the electrical construction industry. Increased quality control, a compressed schedule, and improved safety are the major benefits of this construction strategy.

In today’s construction industry or environment, it is important to improve project schedules. Pre-fabrication and proper planning facilitate a hassle-free installation process. The prefabrication of products or services makes the process of electrical construction more productive as well as cost-efficient. It helps to obtain a budget-friendly and superior quality electrical system that exceeds the client expectations. Offsite fabrication, preassembly, prefabrication, building information modeling, and modularization are used by the contractors in complex construction projects to reduce cost and to improve efficiency.

With the use of BIM, we are placing intelligent 3D Lighting Objects model with all the data integrated. A lighting scheme developed in BIM has the capability to deliver the performance data even without the use of third-party software’s like Dialux. The integration of lighting calculation into BIM enables the client to visualize the Candela requirements per rooms or per floor.  The Electrical Light Fixtures modelling with the necessary data like name, size, type, and photometric data can be used to perform Lighting and Energy analysis. With the ability to develop Photo-realistic renderings from the 3D model, the lighting designers can identify lighting pollution and analyze whether the lighting requirements for the project are satisfied based on the project requirements and building codes.  By performing daylight analysis using BIM, the designers can understand the natural light availability of a particular space. With the ability to measure the day light, designers can make better design decisions such as the selection of lighting fixtures (dimmable fixtures, ballasts etc.) and the use of specific lighting control systems to supplement the daylight.

With the use of BIM, Metaverse Electric can develop 3d electrical models comprising of lighting and power systems, power feeders, cable trays, conduits, duct banks, electrical equipment like transformers, generators etc. The use of a coordinated Electrical Model brings the benefits of offsite prefabrication, avoid labor and material wastage and thereby increase the overall project efficiency by saving time and cost on installation.
