Advanced Healthcare BIM Coordination for a Secure Clinical Environment. Mersey Care's Medium Secure Hospital is a specialist healthcare facility designed to support mental health, recovery, wellbeing, and secure clinical care. The project required highly coordinated engineering systems, detailed construction documentation, and asset information suitable for long-term facility management.
Karno Energy was responsible for BIM coordination, Stage 5 documentation, LOD 400 engineering modelling, BIM asset data integration, and technical support throughout project delivery.
[ Challenges ]
Coordinating Engineering Systems Within a Secure Healthcare Facility
Healthcare environments require highly coordinated engineering systems that support safety, operational continuity, and patient wellbeing.
- Mechanical systems
- Electrical systems
- Public health systems
- Healthcare-specific requirements
Without proper coordination, this would normally result in:
- System clashes
- Construction delays
- Installation conflicts
- Operational risks
Managing Large-Scale BIM Coordination at LOD 400
The project required detailed engineering models coordinated across multiple disciplines while maintaining construction-level accuracy.
- LOD 400 modelling
- Multidisciplinary coordination
- Clash monitoring
- Installation validation
This created risks such as:
- Coordination issues
- Rework during construction
- Information inconsistencies
- Schedule delays
Delivering Construction & Asset Information Simultaneously
The project required both Stage 5 construction documentation and structured BIM asset information suitable for long-term facility management.
- Stage 5 drawings
- Asset data population
- BEP compliance
- Facility management requirements
Without sufficient quality control, this would normally result in:
- Asset data errors
- Documentation inconsistencies
- Construction delays
- Operational inefficiencies
[ Solutions ]
Healthcare Engineering Optimization
Engineering systems were reviewed and optimized to align with the latest architectural design while supporting the operational requirements of a secure healthcare environment.
- Optimization activities included:
LOD 400 BIM Coordination Workflow
Mechanical, public health, and electrical systems were modelled to LOD 400 and coordinated across all project disciplines.
- BIM coordination included:
This ensured all engineering systems remained coordinated and construction-ready.
Visual Installation Validation
Revizto visual analysis was used to review ergonomics, installation access, and construction feasibility before issuing final documentation.
- Validation activities included:
Stage 5 Documentation & Asset Data Delivery
Final BIM deliverables included Stage 5 construction documentation and BIM asset information prepared according to project-specific BEP requirements.
- Final deliverables included:
The result was a BIM environment supporting both construction delivery and long-term facility management.
[ Scope of Work ]
The initial project scope included
Working from Stage 3 project information, our team coordinated multidisciplinary engineering systems, developed Stage 5 documentation, and delivered a fully integrated BIM environment for construction and facility operation.
ENGINEERING DESIGN OPTIMIZATION
LOD 400 BIM MODELLING & COORDINATION
BIM ASSET DATA & BEP COMPLIANCE
STAGE 5 CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS & TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Detailed construction documentation, BIM asset data integration, and engineering support throughout project delivery.
[ Delivery Process ]
Engineering Review & BIM Planning
The project started with Stage 3 information received from MEP contractors. Engineering systems were reviewed and optimized to align with the latest architectural design and healthcare requirements.
- So we started with the key project requirements:
-
Review Stage 3 project information
-
Analyze engineering layouts
-
Define BIM delivery strategy
- Following approval, project standards were established:
-
LOD 400 modelling requirements
-
Coordination procedures
-
Stage 5 documentation standards
LOD 400 BIM Coordination
Mechanical, electrical, and public health systems were modelled to LOD 400 and coordinated across all disciplines using BIM360 and BIMTrack workflows.
- Key efficiencies included:
-
Multidisciplinary BIM coordination
-
Clash monitoring workflows
-
Dynamo-powered automation
This significantly reduced modelling time while improving accuracy and consistency across all engineering disciplines.
Stage 5 Delivery & Asset Data Integration
Final BIM deliverables were prepared alongside asset information and Stage 5 construction documentation to support construction and future hospital operation.
-
Stage 5 construction drawings
-
BIM asset database population
-
Coordinated BIM handover package
The final BIM package supported construction delivery, operational readiness, and long-term facility management.
[ Results ]
The project delivered a fully coordinated healthcare BIM environment, Stage 5 construction documentation, and structured asset information that improved construction efficiency and long-term operational performance.
