BIM CLASH DETECTION SERVICES
What is BIM Clash Detection?
Fundamentally, clash detection is about making sure that various building systems can coexist in harmony. In a standard project,
Each of the architects, engineers, and contractors will create models of their own systems. When integrated into one model, clashes or "clashes" tend to occur.
For instance, a ventilation duct could intersect a structural beam, or electrical conduits could cross over plumbing pipes.
BIM Clash Detection Services utilise specialised software to highlight these areas in the 3D world, enabling the team to resolve them electronically before building commencement.
Types of Clashes in BIM
Hard Clashes Soft Clashes
Physical interferences, like a pipe through a beam
Clearance requirement issues, such as a lack of space around equipment for service access.
Workflow Clashes
Scheduling issues when activities or trades conflict in ways that impact sequence.
How Clash Detection Functions
MODEL INTEGRATION
Models from various disciplines, architectural, structural, and MEP, are integrated into a federated BIM model.
CLASH ANALYSIS
Automated checks are performed using software tools such as Navisworks or Revit to detect clashes.
VERIFICATION AND ITERATION REVIEW AND RESOLUTION
Clashes are reviewed by teams in coordination meetings, have responsibility assigned, and required changes made to the models.
Revised models are checked again until conflicts are minimised, ensuring constructability before on-site implementation.
Benefits for Various Stakeholders
Architects :
Preserve their designs intact and coordinate smoothly with engineering inputs.
Engineers :
Confirm mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems interact without conflict.
Contractors :
Get clean, clash-free plans that minimise site errors and facilitate efficient implementation.
Owners :
Have confidence in project completion, cost management, and enduring building performance.
