BIM Coordination & Clash Detection
Architectural, structural and MEP systems frequently compete for limited space. Zinocon Engineering helps construction teams identify and resolve clashes digitally before fabrication and installation.
The Problem
Structural framing, ductwork, piping, conduit and fire protection all route through the same limited volume above a ceiling or within a wall cavity. Coordinated in 2D alone, conflicts surface in the field — after steel is fabricated and duct is built. Coordinated in a federated 3D model, the same conflicts are visible and resolvable weeks or months earlier, at a fraction of the cost.
Receive architectural, structural, MEPF and trade models from the project team.
Combine models into a single coordinated project environment.
Run clash tests across disciplines and identify conflicts.
Classify issues by trade, severity and priority.
Assign issues to the responsible stakeholder and track status.
Review major coordination conflicts with the project team.
Update models based on approved solutions.
Re-run clash detection and confirm closure.
Release the approved coordinated model and drawings for construction.
Terminology
A direct physical intersection between two elements from different systems.
A clearance violation where elements don't overlap but lack required buffer space.
Insufficient space for access, maintenance or code-required clearance.
A condition that blocks equipment access or maintenance operations.
The order in which systems must be installed to avoid field conflicts.
Limitations that affect whether a design can be built as modeled.
Coordination also covers architectural, structural and MEPF coordination across the full project team — every discipline whose systems occupy shared space.
