BIM, Detailed Coordination and Fabrication Drawings

We produce our Building Information Modeling (BIM) and coordination drawings using Architectural backgrounds electronically. This helps to insure that there is adequate space for piping, duct, fire protection, and electrical to be installed without collision, discrepancies, omissions and/or field coordination problems.
The ability to see the systems in a three dimensional environment allows routing and coordination issues to be resolved before they occur in the field thus saving precious time and usually accelerating field schedules.
We utilize the latest in satellite Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in our underground utilities and plumbing rough-in as well as in our sleeve and hanger routing. Our Topcon GPS stations are fully integrated into our AutoCAD systems.
Our detailers are able to turn these into spool sheet for our sheet metal and pipe fab shops. We attempt to fabricate as much material as possible in our shops; this reduces inefficient field fabrication and errors.
Our welding procedures are set up to provide a wide range of materials from carbon steel to stainless steel. All of Yearout Mechanical’s procedures have been established and approved through a certified testing laboratory and all of our welders carry current certifications through an independent testing lab.
Engineers and Owners can review the detailed drawings before hand and see the product before it is built and put in place. Our drawings are also used for coordination between other trades. Accurate Asbuilts can be generated much faster and in a CAD format.
Yearout Mechanical's detailing department utilizes the following software for our detailing processes:
- AutoCAD MEP 2011
- CAD Mech
- CAD Duct
- Navis 2010
- Civil 3D 2010
