"Revit MEP for BIM definitely improved design quality and helped us solidify our relationship with the client. We look forward to using Revit MEP and other Autodesk BIM solutions on our future projects. Ultimately, we intend to fully integrate BIM into our practice."
—Aryak Goswami, Mechanical Engineer, Haskell Architects and Engineers, P.A.
Haskell Architects and Engineers, P.A. recently completed design on the Scripps Proton Therapy Center, an innovative, $225-million facility in San Diego County, California. When complete in early 2013, the 102,000-square-foot center will have the capacity to treat approximately 2,400 cancer patients per year.
The company’s engineers—including John Fortenberry, the lead mechanical engineer for the project—worked closely with The Haskell Company, a leading design-build contractor based in Florida; as well as Scripps Health and Advanced Particle Therapy. To improve collaboration and coordination among the geographically dispersed team members, Haskell Architects and Engineers, P.A. relied upon Autodesk® Revit® MEP software for Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage software.
“Greatly improved coordination is the most important benefit of using BIM on complex design-build projects,” says Frank Mangin, President of Haskell Architects and Engineers, P.A. “On a project of this complexity, choosing BIM with Revit MEP was an easy decision to make given our past successes using it for multidisciplinary coordination.”
Revit MEP software proved helpful in overcoming these and other design challenges. For example, the main mechanical room is on the patient side of the facility. “We had to run piping underground, through thick concrete walls, and have it emerge in very specific locations in the bunker area,” says Aryak Goswami, a mechanical engineer at Haskell Architects and Engineers, P.A. “BIM helped us visualize how to place the pipes and conduit with a high degree of precision. That is critical on complex buildings.” |
Construction on the facility is scheduled for completion in early 2013. “BIM and Revit MEP definitely improved design quality and helped us solidify our relationship with the client and work more efficiently,” says Goswami. As a result, the project developer, Advanced Particle Therapy, awarded Haskell Architects and Engineers P.A. a contract for the design of a new proton therapy facility in Maryland. “We look forward to using Revit MEP and Navisworks Manage on our future projects. Ultimately, we intend to fully integrate BIM into our practice.”
