3D Rigging and Routing Plans, BIM
Every sizable project that involves the installation of large equipment in or outside a building requires a rigging and routing plan. It wasn’t long ago that rigging and routing plans were achieved with hand-measurements, two-dimensional drawings, and paper cutouts. Now, rigging and routing plans are often developed building information modeling (BIM).
BIM modeling is achieved through a combination of existing data and 3D laser scanning. The data is used to develop models detailing precise locations of existing and planned structural features, piping, ductwork, equipment, etc., down to the fraction of an inch. These 3D models are combined with 4D project information – equipment that is to be installed, including physical dimensions, weight, how many pieces, and when it will arrive – to arrive at a rigging and routing plan. BIM can provide critical information on features that may need to be temporarily delayed, moved, or removed to accommodate the rigging of large equipment. Using BIM for developing rigging and routing plans allows for greater accuracy, helps identify potential logistical problems, and keeps project costs down by eliminating delays due to planning errors.
