Scope of Work The scope included 3D Modeling, Wall sleeve drawings, floor sleeve drawings, Shop drawings, Coordination of plumbing trade. Pinnacle’s Value Addition Rerouted pipes to find out the shortest path; thus reducing material cost. 3D BIM Model Fixing up the Plumbing Fixture location. Generated RFI’s for design validation. Space constrain in corridor area was managed with innovative solutions. Quick turnaround project. As this has been a oval shaped stadium project, We have used the Autodesk Fabrication software for the modeling; Also odd angle fittings were not available hence pipe routings were difficult to implement as the pipes were penetrating the wall with an odd angle. 2D Shop Drawing Global Leader in BIM Services www.pinnaclecad.com Copyright © 2011 Pinnacle Infotech, Inc..
