The drawing to the right is of a 4,400 ton cooling tower design for the Naval Research Laboratory. Such was done to help visualize piping arrangements, and phasing requirements. Multiple colors were chosen to clarify phasing issues, noting that the design was intended to insure virtually un-interrupted service for at least partial loads.
SAi's commitment to Revit and Bentley software reflects not only an embrace of Industry Foundation Class (IFC) standards, it enables efficient coordination between multiple subcontractor designers, who individually may be versed in only one CAD platform. However, having multiple platform capability enables our primary objective: providing BIM products in a format that is preferred by the client. |
