Clashes are common in construction projects where multidisciplinary teams collaborate on a single project. Consider structural engineers putting a concrete slab where MEP engineers have placed a plumbing pipe. Consider putting a concrete slab on walls that do not meet. Such clashes could be expensive.

A clash is defined as the unexpected concurrent occurrence of elements in an integrated model that has been created by combining several models into one. Clashes could be geometric, where one structure passes where it shouldn’t, or schedule-based, where elements occur concurrently rather than sequentially. Our engineers use sophisticated BIM tools to detect such collisions, which are then resolved using cutting-edge Autodesk clash detection software.

Clashes existed even before the advent of BIM modeling in older construction projects. However, because it was mostly done manually, their detection was time-consuming. Construction crews would lay out the 2D drawings and manually investigate any potential collisions. In any case, errors were reported, and large sums of money were spent on re-construction requests.

The benefit of modern clash detection tools is that clashes are detected early and resolved before the design is built. As a result, you will be able to solve a large sum of money. Working as an interdisciplinary team can be challenging because BIM model coordination and management are required at a high level. We are BIM coordination and BIM management experts and can thus act on your behalf to ensure that your large team of construction agents collaborates efficiently and without any collisions.

Clashes prompted the creation of clash detection services. Clash detection is now an automated process in 3D building models thanks to BIM tools. As previously stated, BIM modeling is the culmination of various models that are combined to form a single integrated model. Various professionals work on a construction project and may be tasked with independently developing their models. During the integration of these models, clashes are likely.

For clash detection, several software programs are available. Navisworks, Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla BIMsight, Solibri Model Checker, and Vico Office Constructability Manager are among them. The features of these software programs vary, and it is the responsibility of the construction manager to ensure that high-level software is used. Our engineers employs unrivaled software with the most advanced features that excel in clash detection automation.

Because of our BIM experience and expertise, we are the most well-rounded professionals in clash detection and resolution services. We are multi-skilled and adaptable enough to detect clashes in a wide range of construction projects. Previously, our services were valued in a wide range of facilities, including healthcare, engineers, schools, industrial plants, and government departments.

Construction projects are complex, and mistakes can exacerbate them. When change orders are placed after the project has been completed, human errors have a high cost impact. Such human errors can be avoided early in the design process by using clash detection. Clash detection enables early detection, inspection, and reporting of collisions discovered in the project model.

BIM modeling makes clash detection simple because it is an automated process, as opposed to traditional manual processes in which humans rely on their eyes to spot errors. Using BIM models, our engineers can identify and report clashes that would otherwise cost you a fortune. We check 3D digital models for errors. This can be accomplished during the BIM model auditing process, which we also provide.

Clashes could significantly impede construction progress, resulting in financial consequences. Time-based conflicts, in particular, may impede your progress. Our engineers provides advanced 4D BIM for time schedules to assist projects with a sequence of developments.

If there are any issues with the model, the clash detection service can help identify and resolve them before construction begins. BIM modeling is a complex subject that general contractors cannot easily grasp without specialized knowledge. We can act as a knowledge bridge, detecting problems before they occur.

Clash detection services can help you save a lot of money. When issues arise in a completed project, they may necessitate project rework. Furthermore, or even worse, they may jeopardize the project’s return on investment. We guarantee a higher return on investment with our services. We will ensure that your BIM model is free of clashes.

Clash detection and resolution, in a nutshell, speeds up the construction process. It makes construction more fruitful and smooth, with all issues resolved on time.

The term “clashes” encompasses a variety of clashes. There are three types of clash: 4D/workflow clash, soft clash, and hard clash.

• Hard clash is primarily geometrical in nature. It happens when two objects occupy the same space at the same time. Consider a situation in which a beam is installed where an MEP engineer has installed a plumbing pipe or a column that runs through the wall. These are common examples of violent clashes. It can also identify rule-based and semantic clash detection algorithms using BIM. Our BIM model inspection can accurately and efficiently identify the types of collisions embedded in the integrated model.
• Soft clashes: These are design objects that necessitate that same geometric tolerance. Soft clash detection could even reveal the object’s adherence to building codes.

4D/workflow clash: This form of clash refers to events occurring concurrently rather than sequentially. It can also happen to employees. Consider the electrical team arriving at work concurrently with the mechanical team to perform work that was supposed to be sequential. Workflow clashes are caused by time constraints. Engineers TheMetaPlans can resolve such clashes to make sure that the final prototype is efficient and cost-effective

There are two kinds of clash detection software. Oure ngineers is well-versed in both methods of detecting collisions.

• BIM modeling design software: If the models are created entirely with a single piece of software, that software can only identify clashes in proprietary models. Solibri, for example, can detect clashes in models created in Solibri rather than Navisworks. It may be difficult to use a single software to identify clashes if you have a large team of inter – disciplinary professionals using various BIM model software programs
• BIM integration tools can detect collisions between non-proprietary models. However, any changes must be made in the primary software in which the clash was detected and the model was created.

Technicians from our engineers are well-versed in a variety of BIM clash detection software programs. To detect collisions in models, we employ a variety of detection software. This places us at the forefront of cutting-edge construction technology.

Because construction project teams do not always use the same BIM model, clash detection services in a variety of software programs are required. For example, the architects’ team may use Tekla software to create BIM models, while the mechanical team uses Revit for HVAC installations and structural engineers use Bentley for electrical installations. At the end, all of these models must be integrated to form a solid model on which they can collaborate.

All of these software programs can be maneuvered by our engineers to detect and resolve clashes. We can communicate with a wide range of construction stakeholders. Models can be imported but not modified.

Clash detection is applicable to all project types. While it may be tempting to ignore it in small projects, it is still critical to address potential collisions. Our engineers have worked on a wide range of projects.

Clashes are common in large projects, especially if old methods of clash detection are still used. TheMetaPlans Engineers has worked on numerous projects of this size in a variety of fields. As a result, we can attest to the complexities of the clashes we have encountered.

Clash detection and BIM model auditing are inextricably linked. BIM model auditing is the process of checking the model’s consistency and accuracy before construction begins. This determines how well the model components are coordinated and how consistent the model is when compared to the original designs on 2D or CAD designs. TheMetaPlans Engineers specializes in BIM Model Auditing as well as Clash Detection.

We also include clash detection services in our model auditing. Our auditing process includes a subservice for clash detection.

TheMetaPlans Engineers takes pride in detecting and resolving clashes in a wide range of projects using unrivaled Autodesk Revit software. Our engineers will evaluate the 3D design models and investigate all of the components. If your designs are in 2D or CAD, our engineers can provide CAD to Revit modeling for easy clash detection.

Our engineers can easily detect collisions in your designs by using BIM modeling, BIM coordination, BIM management, and BIM model auditing expertise. Our BIM modeling technology detects clashes automatically. All because of our expertise in creating the best models.
