Structural & Plumbing BIM Services for Sports Complex Project in Pennsylvania, USA
United BIM delivered structural and plumbing BIM services for a large-scale sports complex project in Pennsylvania, USA, focused on developing an accurate and coordinated model for a wide-span recreational facility. The project involved complex steel structural framing and extensive plumbing networks across large open activity zones, requiring precise alignment between structural elements and service distribution. Using Autodesk Revit, we developed detailed BIM models that improved system visibility, supported coordination, and ensured construction-ready outputs for efficient execution.

Project Overview
| # | Challenge | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Complex steel framing system across large-span activity zones | Developed detailed structural BIM models capturing framing geometry and member alignment |
| 2 | Integration of plumbing systems within structural framework | Coordinated plumbing routing with structural elements to maintain clearances and avoid conflicts |
| 3 | Routing plumbing networks across open-span areas with limited support points | Optimized layout and support strategies for practical installation |
| 4 | Alignment of structural members with service penetrations | Defined coordinated openings and routing paths within the structural model |
| 5 | Need for accurate, build-ready BIM outputs | Delivered coordinated structural and plumbing models supporting smooth on-site execution |
