MEP EngineeringClash Detection
Avoiding MEP Clashes using Generative AI
How a high-tech lab facility resolved 400+ clashes before breaking ground, saving 6 weeks of rework.
The Coordination Nightmare
The project involved complex HVAC ducting, specialized medical gas lines, and high-voltage electrical trays in a constrained ceiling plenum. Traditional BIM coordination meetings were slow, resolving only 10-15 clashes per week manually.
Auto-Resolution with AI
The team deployed Space AI's Automated Clash Resolution module. Instead of just identifying clashes, the AI:
- Proposed Rerouting: Generated 3 alternative route options for the electrical trays to bypass the HVAC ducts automatically.
- Rule-Based Validation: Checked code compliance (clearance, support spacing) for every proposed change instantly.
Zero Re-Work
By automating the routing logic, the team resolved 95% of clashes in the digital twin phase.
