As we mentioned in our previous post, one of the biggest plus points of using BIM<\/strong> in the pharmaceutical industry<\/strong> is better coordination<\/strong> of a building\u2019s facilities<\/strong>. This is a key aspect considering the significance and high cost of facilities<\/strong> in this industry. <\/p>\n\n

For example, in a pharmaceutical<\/strong> building<\/strong><\/a> the space between the slab and the facilities<\/strong> may be the equivalent of a floor with extremely complex layouts. This is much higher than in an office building (50 cm) or a housing unit (30 cm). BIM methodology<\/strong> enables you to visualise this space before constructing it and anticipate potential operating errors. <\/p>\n\n

Benefits of BIM for pharma facilities<\/h2>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The great advantage of BIM<\/strong> for a building is that it means you can build a virtual 3D model in which you can identify all its components in great detail: facilities, structure, equipment, etc. If you look at the facilities<\/strong>, the main benefits<\/strong> of using BIM methodology<\/strong> in a pharma building are as follows:<\/p>\n\n

Establishing hierarchies in the facilities<\/h3>\n\n

A pharmaceutical building\u2019s<\/strong> facilities<\/strong> are defined by their importance: the priority facilities (clean utilities) and the secondary facilities (black utilities). Only by using BIM<\/strong> can you preview and classify them properly and set up hierarchies between them. <\/p>\n\n

Precise design of the facilities<\/h3>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Each facility in a pharma building<\/strong> has specific requirements which you can meet and verify through BIM<\/strong>. For example, steam pipes need a specific slope that you can include in your BIM model<\/strong>, checking that this slope is continuous and does not encroach on any other pipes.<\/p>\n\n

Verify accessibility<\/h3>\n\n

In a pharma building<\/strong> it is crucial to ensure accessibility<\/strong> to specific facility<\/strong> components. BIM<\/strong> for the facilities<\/strong> allows you to pre-design these components, such as the safety walkways, which are essential for building maintenance. <\/p>\n\n

Facility validation<\/h3>\n\n

BIM<\/strong> for the facilities<\/strong> of a pharma building<\/strong> not only allows you to preview them in 3D. You can also validate them using Navisworks or other clash control<\/strong> packages. These tools map all the facilities<\/strong> and ensure that there are no clashes between the main components and the frame or other parts of the facilities<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Conclusions<\/h3>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

As we have seen, BIM<\/strong> offers many advantages when it comes to designing <\/strong>a pharmaceutical building\u2019s<\/strong> facilities<\/strong>. However, expertise in BIM tools<\/strong> alone will not be enough to ensure good facility<\/strong> coordination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

A pharmaceutical building\u2019s<\/strong> facilities<\/strong> operate in a similar way to the blood supply in our body. So it is essential to be aware of and understand what the main facilities\u2019<\/strong> highways are, from which the rest of the piping runs. This is the only way to ensure that all components are properly coordinated<\/strong>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
