Industrial & Manufacturing BIM Coordination & Clash Detection

Industrial Manufacturing Facility

USA

Project Overview

The Industrial Building project involved developing an accurate BIM model of an existing industrial facility in the USA using point cloud data. The objective was to create a reliable digital representation of the facility's steel structural framework to support engineering coordination, refurbishment planning, and future development activities.

OneClick BIM developed a coordinated LOD 300 BIM model that accurately captured the existing structural elements, providing stakeholders with dependable documentation for design validation, project planning, and long-term asset management.

OneClick BIM's Scope

OneClick BIM was responsible for converting point cloud data into a coordinated BIM model of the existing industrial facility.

The project scope included:

  • LOD 300 BIM Modelling

  • Point Cloud to BIM Conversion

  • Steel Structure Modelling

  • Existing Conditions Documentation

  • Coordinated BIM Model Development

  • Model Validation for Engineering Planning

The coordinated model served as a reliable digital reference for future engineering and refurbishment projects.

Key Challenge

Accurately modelling an existing industrial steel structure required precise interpretation of point cloud data while maintaining the geometry and connectivity of structural members. Developing a coordinated digital model was essential to support engineering assessments, minimise design uncertainties, and improve project planning.

OneClick BIM's Workflow

Point Cloud Assessment

Point cloud data was reviewed to identify existing structural elements and establish modelling requirements.

BIM Model Development

A coordinated LOD 300 BIM model was developed by accurately modelling the facility's steel structural framework.

Coordination Review

The model underwent quality assurance and coordination checks to verify geometric accuracy and consistency with the captured site conditions.

Model Validation

The completed BIM model was validated to ensure reliable documentation for future engineering, maintenance, and refurbishment activities.

Final BIM Delivery

OneClick BIM delivered a coordinated LOD 300 BIM model developed from point cloud data, providing an accurate digital representation of the facility's steel structure. The deliverables supported engineering coordination, refurbishment planning, and long-term asset management.

Key Project Highlights

  • LOD 300 BIM Model
  • Point Cloud to BIM Conversion
  • Steel Structure Modelling
  • Existing Conditions Documentation
  • Improved Engineering Coordination
  • Reliable Structural Documentation

PROJECT DETAILS & WORKFLOW

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BIM coordination for manufacturing facilities? +

Manufacturing plants have complex equipment and structural layouts that need precise coordination. For this industrial manufacturing facility in the USA, OneClick BIM developed a coordinated LOD 300 model from point cloud data to support engineering coordination and refurbishment planning.

What is clash detection in BIM? +

Clash detection finds places where building systems collide in the 3D model so conflicts are resolved before construction. 3D clash resolution was part of this scope for the facility's advanced manufacturing line and distribution hub.

What is point cloud to BIM? +

Point cloud to BIM converts laser scan data of an existing facility into an accurate 3D model. On this project, point cloud data was reviewed to identify existing structural elements and establish modelling requirements.

What is steel structure modelling? +

Steel structure modelling builds the facility's steel framework into the 3D model. On this project, the steel structural framework was accurately modelled to support engineering assessments and project planning.

What is existing conditions documentation? +

It is the process of recording the facility's current state so plans start from reality. This manufacturing facility was documented from point cloud data, giving stakeholders dependable documentation for design validation and planning.

What is model validation in BIM? +

Model validation checks that the BIM model provides reliable documentation. The completed model was validated to ensure reliable documentation for future engineering, maintenance and refurbishment activities.

What deliverables come from a manufacturing BIM project? +

The coordinated LOD 300 model plus accurate documentation of the steel structure. For this facility, the deliverables supported engineering coordination, refurbishment planning and long-term asset management.
