The objective of this project was to create highly detailed and accurate fabrication shop drawings with minimal tolerance. These drawings were crucial for ensuring precise manufacturing and flawless on-site assembly of wall panels for a complex architectural installation.
The project comprised the following key buildings and features:
3D BIM Model with LOD 500
Fabrication Shop Drawings
Tolerance Requirement: 1/64” precision
The client provided panel markings in elevations as well as few plans through a combination of sketches, images and PDF files.
A renowned name in wall panelling installations across the USA, recognized for delivering exceptional solutions for complex projects, we have successfully completed multiple USA airport projects for the client before.
This project involved designing and fabricating custom wall panels for The USA Airport. The installation’s intricate geometries and the high-visibility nature of the location demanded 3D models and shop drawings that ensured zero margin for error during both fabrication and on-site assembly. Given the stringent regulatory and aesthetic requirements typical of airport projects, achieving precision and efficiency was paramount.
1. Ultra-Fine Tolerances:
The requirement for a 1/64” precision posed a significant challenge, as it necessitated meticulous detailing to avoid manufacturing or alignment errors.
2. Complex Geometries:
The wall panels featured intricate designs that had to align perfectly with stringent architectural and construction requirements, requiring seamless coordination between design and execution teams.
1. LOD 500 BIM Models:
Using Revit our team developed the panel models at highest accuracy, keeping manufacturing and installation in mind the model developed for panel, supporting rail and clip systems. These detailed models not only used for Fabrication/ Shop drawings, but it used for detailed quantification for project procurement purposes as well.
2. Precision Validation:
We incorporated rigorous quality checks throughout the design process to ensure adherence to the 1/64” tolerance This included clash detection, dimensional reviews, and digital mockups to simulate assembly.
3. Collaboration and Coordination:
Our team worked closely with the client and other stakeholders to understand project requirements, resolve design conflicts, and optimize fabrication workflows for efficiency and accuracy.
1. Seamless Prefabrication and Assembly:
The panels were fabricated precisely as per the shop drawings and assembled flawlessly on-site. This ensured perfect alignment, zero delays, and an efficient installation process.
2. Enhanced Client Reputation:
By delivering a high-quality, precision-engineered solution, we contributed to the client’s reputation for excellence in delivering complex, high-visibility projects.
1. Attention to Detail: Achieving 1/64” tolerance required not only technical expertise but also meticulous attention to every dimension and specification.
2. Collaboration: Effective communication and collaboration with stakeholders played a vital role in the project’s success.
3. Impact: Our precise shop drawings enabled efficient execution, saving time and costs, and maintaining the integrity of the client’s vision.
This project showcases our ability to deliver precise fabrication shop drawings for intricate architectural installations.
