Data Center

The London Data Center project involved construction-stage BIM coordination for a multi-level, mission-critical facility with highly congested building services. The project included complex MEP systems, electrical infrastructure, cooling networks, fire protection systems, and specialist data center services that required accurate coordination before site installation.

For a mission-critical facility where service routing, installation accuracy, accessibility, and operational reliability are essential, a coordinated BIM model provided the project team with a reliable environment to identify and resolve coordination issues before construction.

OneClick BIM supported the project team by coordinating multiple building services within a shared BIM environment, helping improve constructability, installation planning, and multidisciplinary coordination.

OneClick BIM was responsible for supporting construction-stage BIM coordination across the project's interconnected building services.

The project scope included:

  • Construction-stage BIM Coordination

  • MEP Coordination

  • Electrical System Coordination

  • Cooling System Coordination

  • Fire Protection Coordination

  • Specialist Systems Integration

  • Clash Detection & Resolution

  • Constructability Review

  • Construction Coordination Documentation

The coordinated model served as a common digital reference for reviewing system interfaces, service routing, spatial requirements, and potential installation conflicts.

The primary challenge was managing the high level of service congestion within the mission-critical data center environment.

Multiple systems had to be coordinated within restricted ceiling voids, risers, plant spaces, and service corridors while maintaining appropriate spatial clearances and access for installation and maintenance.

Coordination between MEP, electrical, cooling, fire protection, and specialist systems was therefore critical to identifying conflicts before they reached the construction site.

OneClick BIM addressed these challenges through a multidisciplinary BIM coordination workflow focused on clash identification, system interfaces, spatial clearances, and constructability.

Model & Project Input Review

Available discipline models and project information were reviewed to understand the coordination requirements and establish the project coordination environment.

Multidisciplinary BIM Coordination

MEP, electrical, cooling, fire protection, and specialist systems were brought together within a coordinated BIM environment.

Clash Detection & Review

The integrated model was reviewed to identify clashes, service intersections, spatial conflicts, and potential installation issues.

Coordination & Resolution

Identified coordination issues were reviewed and resolved with consideration for service routing, accessibility, constructability, and site installation requirements.

Construction Coordination

The coordinated information was communicated to support design decisions, procurement coordination, and construction planning.

OneClick BIM delivered a coordinated BIM model supported by clash resolution and construction coordination documentation for the London data center project.

The final BIM deliverables provided the project team with improved visibility of interconnected building services and helped establish a clearer digital reference for construction-stage coordination and installation planning.
