The Impact of Clash Detection with Your Core Drilling Contractor
Core drilling contractors will facilitate all types of updates in existing construction, creating a space for electricians, plumbers, contractors, and other professionals to perform required services.
Updates and changes are normal parts of the lifespan of any building. As technology advances and standards of living also change, people and businesses will demand more from the buildings they live and work in. Wired internet and modern HVAC infrastructure are just some of the relatively new additions for building owners to consider, and making room for these types of improvements takes work. Core drilling contractors will facilitate all types of updates in existing construction, creating a space for electricians, plumbers, contractors, and other professionals to perform required services. However, your core drilling contractor can’t act by themselves. Building information modeling (BIM) and clash detection will allow core drilling contractors and other construction professionals to interact seamlessly, completing their projects with less complications. Read on to learn more!
Usual Responsibilities of Core Drilling Contractors
Core drilling contractors will facilitate building updates by drilling holes in existing slabs of concrete. They use special equipment to make room for new plumbing, phone lines, wiring, etc. Core drilling contractors work with general contractors, tradespeople, architects, and more to figure out where to cut and where not to cut as well. Poorly planned core drilling could damage structures that are set in place, and concrete cutting contractors have to know where electrical and plumbing equipment is (or where it will be). This is where BIM and clash detection comes into play.
Clash Detection and BIM Help Drilling Contractors Finish the Job
Building information modeling entails making detailed and accurate plans of a structure. Engineers, architects, tradespeople, and contractors use BIM to compare plans with each other, making sure that the work they’ve outlined won’t interfere with other aspects of the project. Points on a model where these interferences and incompatibilities happen are known as “clashes,” and clash detection involves locating these problem areas and adjusting to them. Clash detection can happen at any stage, like through modeling before construction, which allows teams to make necessary changes before complications happen. However, a few models might have to be adjusted as work has been done in the field. In the event of unexpected complications, clash detection is a serious asset that will ensure that any changes made to the plan won’t interfere with other areas of your project.
