Importance of BIM in Fire Protection Modeling; For Mechanical & Electrical Engineers

Introduction

Fire Protection Systems in Public Utility Building and structures with sizable human occupancy becomes significantly critical demanding high-levels of accuracy & efficiency. Mechanical & Electrical Engineers are in a continuous effort to make sure that all the emergency modes of tackling any mishaps are well in place. To become an expert in BIM Fire Protection Modeling, professionals may opt for training and short term courses after mechanical engineering and also some of the specialized electrical design courses & fire engineering courses.

Conventional methods of devising a fire protection system in synergy with mechanical & electrical engineering usually deployed the use of plane 2D drawings illustrating the fire protection module along with the electrical layout. The BIM models for the fire protection system have become an essential part of the short term courses after mechanical engineering & fire engineering courses as well as that of the electrical design courses. Interested professionals may enroll in such courses to get maximum benefit and exposure to the latest & trendier technologies.

How has BIM transformed designing?

Nowadays, BIM has facilitated the 3D and further versions of modeling designs that provide a detailed analysis of Fire Protection system with 3D visuals well in advance. The capabilities of BIM are still being explored, and it isn't confined only to the detection, alarm, and suppression of any threat to life, but it also integrates all the life safety systems in a way that leaves no scope for any discrepancy.

There is a sound coordination between the Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing or MEP models, which are further integrated with the Fire Protection model to detect any clashes or overlaps. The major responsibility of any modeler is to identify and mitigate risks associated with the complexities of the design & BIM exactly serves the purpose.

Building Information Modeling facilitates the effective collaboration of data to collate models and designs across various trades involved in a construction project to produce a realistic view. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality have helped the modelers to visualize the structure in an as-built way to assess any potential flaws.

Can we afford errors in Fire Protection Modeling?

Remember the infamous 'Towering Infernos,' an unpleasant site which still instigates goosebumps. Fire Protection must have a top priority when it comes to the designing and modeling part of any structure. Architects design structures and assess the life & durability based on the geography, climate, and local issues but the most important aspect is usually ignored, and that is 'what if there is fire?'. Most of the infamous fire accidents in the history have indicated that improper planning to locate, alert, suppress and evacuate occupants got faulty. What if the design could have been better and there could have been additional provisions to evacuate occupants quickly. BIM comes as a handy tool to resolve a crisis when it comes to discovering odds and probabilities. BIM is a process that involves huge data sets which in turn provide valuable information and facilitates impeccable collaboration between various trades & functions. Electrical Engineering curriculum consists of electrical design courses that train the students about potential risks involved in designing that may lead to any adversity. Such designs when get integrated with BIM models can indicate better alternatives and suggest proactive measures to deal with any emergency situation.

What's the solution & how to grasp it?

There are solutions in the form of resources like BIM technology and allied software which can help us create flawless designs and derive robust solutions. But a software needs an operator, and that's where the problem area lies. We need adept professionals who just can't use the software but derive effective solutions. If professionals from an engineering background and relevant trades aspire to become proficient fire protection modelers, then they must first learn BIM technology and its extent of applications. BIM isn't just modeling, but it is a complete process involving a huge volume of data and information which can collaborate between mechanical and electrical engineering domains.  

BIM isn't just a technology or software, but it is a process that involves voluminous data that can be accessed and exchanged instantaneously to collaborate functions across multiple trades. To make sure that the fire protection measures in place, hydrants, sprinklers, extinguishers and other related paraphernalia are functional throughout the life cycle, and BIM FP models prove to be instrumental. An effective evacuation plan can also be worked out to carry out the effective rescue of trapped occupants in a building structure. BIM models facilitate models which are realistic and provide a glimpse to the actual building way before its construction.

Till now developed countries have made deployment of BIM mandatory for the construction of buildings and facilities to ensure maximum safety. Nowadays, even developing countries are adopting the BIM technology and its allied technologies along with the cutting-edge software to construct smart structures. However, the success of BIM models largely depends upon the proficient workforce that can face challenges emerging during the designing and modeling phases. There are various short term courses after mechanical engineering & electrical design courses that can prove useful to learn BIM technology and its applications in MEP FP.

BIM Plumbing & Piping Design Course; A must for Mechanical Engineers!

BIM or Building Information Modeling has become a magic wand for the construction professionals throughout the world. The most benefitted ones are the trades that used to face hurdles because of the conventional methods used in the AEC industry. BIM design courses for mechanical engineers along with the piping courses for mechanical engineers train professionals to overcome such hurdles. 

Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing, collectively known as the MEP layout is considered as the backbone of any structure. However, electrical works purely pertain to the Electrical Engineering domain, whereas Mechanical and Plumbing are correlated trades for mechanical engineering. There are a variety of piping courses after mechanical engineering that enhances the skill levels of candidates aspiring to handle turn-key projects efficiently.

To be precise piping and plumbing are most significant aspects of any construction project and this is because of the complexities of the design. It is a reason why most of the institutes imparting modern construction education are receiving heavy intake for design courses for mechanical engineers and especially piping courses for mechanical engineers.

Why Plumbing & Piping?

The most conventional and orthodox methods of designing plumbing and pipe spools were cumbersome and incomprehensible for many trade professionals. Thus there were occurrences of clashes and technical glitches leading to overstretched project span incurring additional costs. BIM piping design courses help modelers to illustrate every detail regarding the piping and plumbing layout well in advance.

Realistic visualizations with the help of augmented & virtual reality help owners, engineers, and contractors analyze the project design and compare MEP layout with the rest of the architecture. All this is done way before the actual construction starts, and thus a clear picture of piping spooling designs eliminate chances of any clashes or clutters which is a part of piping design course. Hence, it becomes important for the dedicated workforce & professionals to acquire the skills of the trade through various piping engineering courses.

What are the Challenges?

Recurring cost is a major concern for any project leader, and lack of pre-planning along with sluggish designs may pose challenges in the completion of the project. To minimize recurring costs, BIM can be the best contributor as it gives a holistic overview of the piping spools and plumbing drawings to identify material requirements. For e.g. a particular spool model displays requirement of fixed dimension of pipes and the standard pipe length is more than required, then project engineers can utilize the remaining section for the next spools & provision quantity of plumbing materials. One may opt to join piping design course or piping engineering course to get an advantage over conventional methods of pipe spooling.

Usually, during the prefabrication of the pipe spools, it becomes difficult to accommodate pipes of varied tapering & slopes through the irregular thickness of walls or reinforcement, and this is where BIM becomes instrumental in providing solutions. BIM can handle a huge amount of data to provide better coordination between different trades and functions pertinent to the construction industry. Clashes and technical glitches can be well assessed in advance, and effective rectification can be assured ahead of any potential risk or shortfall.    

       

Where is the solution?

For everything related to the AEC industry, BIM is the only solution that comprehensively deals with the issues ranging from design, data, planning, construction, execution, operation & maintenance to resolution. BIM integration with MEP drawings and pipe spools eliminates the need for any additional modification or changes in the future course of construction. Finally all the pipes, flanges, hoists, gauges, etc. are arranged, and the spool design becomes handy for the ultimate step of fabrication which is followed by the assembly and embedding. It becomes imperative for the Mechanical Engineers to master the BIM technology and especially its integration with MEP for efficient planning and streamlined projects. However, it depends on the level of skills a professional should possess to face challenges and come up with innovative ideas and a certificate course in piping engineering may prove useful.  

Where to find solutions?

It is easy to operate the software, but BIM is much more than a standalone software, it is about technology or process that involves imagination as well as creativity. Many institutes are imparting training in BIM, MEP and related software like Autodesk Revit & Naviswork, Bluebeam, Sketchup, etc. However, it also depends on the exposure to the core technology and opportunities for working on live projects to demonstrate incredible accuracy and a sense of craftsmanship.
