Implementation of hydraulic and sanitary engineering under the concept building information modeling, in a nine-floor intelligent building, Zapopan, Jalisco

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the way to work in a coordinated manner among the actors involved in the construction project. This modeling includes all phases of the project: Design, Execution and Maintenance, providing real time information on the building modeling. BIM focuses on empowering and facilitating the understanding of the work program of all the actor in the construction process: Engineers, Architects, Owners, Product Manufactures, Subcontractors, etc., ordering and coordinating the information in each phase of the project, in order to make decisions, avoiding the minimum mistakes or unexpected calculations. The goal of this project is the modeling of the engineering hydraulic and sanitary, for an intelligent building of 9 floors, using REVIT software, the results obtained were the sizing of the pluvial water retention tank and the determination of available pressures (high and low pressure). It is concluded that the use of BIM tools allowed to display 3D, evaluating a logical sequence despite the complexity of its use.
