BIM Structural Services

What is BIM Structural Services?

Structural BIM Services consist of the use of detailed three-dimensional models that represent all the structural elements of a building.

These models not only include the geometry of the structural components, but also critical information about materials, loads, connections and relationships between the different elements of the building.

What does BIM Structural Services Include?

Detailed Modeling of Structures

Our services include the creation of accurate 3D models of all structural components, such as beams, columns, walls and foundations. These models allow each element to be visualized and analyzed in detail, ensuring that everything is designed correctly from the start.

Coordination and Interference Detection

At ENSERCAN, we use BIM to coordinate structural design with other building systems, such as MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing), to detect and resolve any potential interference prior to construction.

Structural Analysis and Simulations

We carry out detailed analysis and simulations using BIM models to ensure that structures comply with all regulations and withstand the intended loads. This includes analysis of strength, stability and dynamic behaviour under different conditions.

Documentation and Construction Plans

We provide comprehensive documentation and detailed drawings derived directly from BIM models. This ensures that construction information is accurate and up-to-date, facilitating work on site and minimising errors.

Benefits of BIM Structural Services

Accuracy and Error Reduction:
Using detailed BIM models significantly improves the accuracy of structural design, reducing the likelihood of costly errors and rework during construction.

Improved Project Coordination: BIM facilitates coordination between all disciplines involved in a project, ensuring that structural designs are compatible with MEP and architectural systems, avoiding conflicts and optimizing workflow.

Efficiency in the Construction Process: BIM models allow for planning and simulating the construction process more efficiently, optimizing the use of materials and resources, and reducing costs and execution times.

Advanced Analysis and Simulations: With BIM, we can perform advanced analysis and simulations to ensure that structures are safe and compliant with all regulations. This includes simulations of loads, strength and dynamic behaviour.

End-to-end lifecycle management: BIM provides a platform to manage all structural information of the building throughout its lifecycle, from initial design to maintenance and eventual demolition. This facilitates efficient management and informed decision making.
