Coordinated Engineering Systems for a Modern Commercial Workplace. Green Park Business Centre is a modern office development located in London. The project provides highly flexible office accommodation distributed across four floors and includes extensive terrace areas designed to enhance the workplace environment.
Karno Energy was responsible for engineering coordination, design optimization, BIM modelling, clash detection, construction documentation, and technical support to ensure efficient project delivery.
[ Challenges ]
Coordinating Multiple Engineering Systems Within Limited Service Zones
The building contained numerous engineering systems sharing the same ceiling and corridor spaces, requiring careful planning and coordination.
- Ceiling service zones
- MEP routing requirements
- Equipment positioning
- Installation access
Without proper coordination, this would normally result in:
- System clashes
- Installation conflicts
- Reduced usable space
- Construction delays
Achieving Installation Efficiency
The project required engineering systems to be organized logically and consistently to support fast installation and reduce construction complexity.
- Engineering standardization
- Installation sequencing
- Component consistency
- Construction planning
This created risks such as:
- Extended installation time
- Site modifications
- Material waste
- Reduced productivity
Maintaining BIM Accuracy Across Disciplines
All engineering systems had to be coordinated with architectural and structural models while maintaining an exceptionally high level of BIM accuracy.
- LOD 350 BIM modelling
- Architectural coordination
- Structural coordination
- 1 mm clash tolerance
Without detailed BIM validation, this would normally result in:
- Coordination errors
- Fabrication issues
- Rework during construction
- Project delays
[ Solutions ]
Engineering Layout Optimization
To maximize usable building space and improve installation efficiency, all engineering systems were reviewed and optimized before detailed coordination began.
- The optimization process focused on:
LOD 350 BIM Coordination
All engineering systems were modelled to LOD 350 and coordinated with architectural and structural disciplines to ensure installation feasibility and construction readiness.
- BIM coordination included:
This ensured that all systems remained coordinated throughout project development.
Precision Clash Detection
To eliminate coordination issues before construction, Navisworks clash detection was performed with a tolerance of only 1 mm, allowing even the smallest conflicts to be identified.
- The validation process included:
This significantly reduced the risk of construction conflicts and site rework.
Standardized Construction Delivery
Engineering components were standardized across the project to simplify installation, improve consistency, and accelerate construction activities.
- Final project deliverables included:
The result was a streamlined construction process with reduced installation time and improved project efficiency.
[ Scope of Work ]
The initial project scope included
Working from multidisciplinary CAD documentation, our team optimized, coordinated, and standardized engineering systems to improve installation efficiency and construction performance.
DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF ENGINEERING SYSTEMS
LOD 350 BIM MODELLING & COORDINATION
CLASH DETECTION & INSTALLATION VALIDATION
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS & TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Detailed construction documentation and ongoing technical support throughout project delivery.
[ Delivery Process ]
BIM Review & Engineering Optimization
The project started with a comprehensive review of multidisciplinary CAD documentation received from contractors. Existing engineering solutions were analyzed and optimized before BIM modelling began.
- So we started with the key project requirements:
-
Review contractor documentation
-
Optimize engineering layouts
-
Define BIM coordination strategy
- Following approval, project standards were established for:
-
Modelling consistency
-
Coordination procedures
-
Documentation standards
LOD 350 BIM Modelling & Coordination
Engineering systems were developed to LOD 350 and continuously coordinated with architectural and structural models to ensure construction readiness.
- Key efficiencies included:
-
LOD 350 BIM modelling
-
Engineering systems coordination
-
Ceiling zone optimization
This ensured all systems remained coordinated and logically organized for installation.
Clash Detection & Construction Delivery
Navisworks clash detection with a tolerance of 1 mm was used to identify and eliminate coordination issues before construction documentation was finalized.
-
Detailed clash detection reviews
-
Installation sequence validation
-
Construction documentation preparation
The final BIM package facilitated construction activities, reduced installation time, and improved project delivery efficiency.
[ Results ]
The project resulted in a highly coordinated BIM environment, optimized engineering layouts, and construction-ready documentation that improved installation efficiency and reduced project risks.
