CLASH
DESCRIPTION
PRIORITY
RECOMMENDATION + ASSIGN CHANGE
Concrete footing
from Structural
BIM model to PVC
Pipe of Mechanical
BIM model
HIGH
As the concrete footing is an
important element of holding the
structure together, the
Mechanical engineer should be
informed to adjust the pipes to
work around the foundation.
I-Beam from
Structural BIM
model to Glazed
windows of the
Architectural BIM
model
HIGH
As the structural beam is an
element that carries the building’s
load, the Architect should be
informed that windows should be
less in height. If windows are pre-
made to this height, Structural
engineer must do modifications
Concrete floor
from the Structural
BIM model
encroaches into
the fire exit of the
Architectural BIM
model
HIGH
As the fire exit is designed by the
Architectural team with
consideration of the minimum
widths required, the Structural
engineer must be informed that
this concrete slab should be less
in size to not encroach into the
fire exit.
Truss frames from
the Structural
model to the Oval
Ducts from the
Mechanical BIM
model
HIGH
As the structural framing is an
element that holds up the roof
structure, the Mechanical
engineer must be informed to
adjust Duct layout.
Round ducts
clashing with each
other from the
Mechanical BIM
model
HIGH
Inform the Mechanical engineer
that his modelled ducts are
overlapping one another.

CLASH
DESCRIPTION
PRIORITY
RECOMMENDATION + ASSIGN CHANGE
Round ducts from
the Mechanical
BIM model are
clashing with the
Stud wall from the
Architectural BIM
model
HIGH
Determine whether the intent of
the Project Architect must
determine whether stud walls
could be lowered as in this project
it is 300mm above ceiling,
normally 100mm above ceiling is
acceptable. This would help
Mechanical engineer with space
to work with Ducts as per above
to be adjusted.
Ceiling and
Window from the
Architectural BIM
model
MED
This looks to be a drafting error as
you could notice that the lighting
fixtures from the mechanical
model do not meet the ceiling
and clash with the windows.
Architectural team must raise the
height of the ceiling to suit the
model.
Ducts from the
Mechanical BIM
model to the
Ceiling of the
Architectural BIM
model
HIGH
As this looks like a cramped
space, Architectural team and
Mechanical team must coordinate
if it is worth lowering the ceiling
height from 2.8m to 2.4m if
Mechanical engineer would
require additional space.
Round Duct to Air
Vent from the
Mechanical BIM
Model to
Architectural BIM
model
MED
As air vents are normally ceiling
mounted, this air vent looks like a
rangehood in the hallway which is
not possible. The Mechanical
engineer should raise the air vent
to match the ceiling height.
Automatic sliding
door to Ceiling in
the Architectural
BIM model
HIGH
Sliding doors are expensive and
unnecessary to run through way
past the ceiling height. This error
will show up in door schedules
and possibly a door that has been
bought the wrong size. The
Architect must adjust this error.
Missing pipes and
ducts in the
Mechanical BIM
model
HIGH
With missing pipes, the
equipment bought cannot
operate properly. Mechanical
engineer must adjust the BIM
model.

2.3 SAFETY CHECKS
1. STAIR TURNDOWN
As Per AS1428.1 Accessibility Standard Clause 11.2 (b), all stairs must have a handrail
that extends a tread depth parallel to the line of stair nosing plus an additional 300mm
horizontally. (Vos, 2021)
With Stairs in our Architectural model, it is evident that the handrail
terminates where the stair ends which does not comply and may be deemed a safety hazard.
2. BALUSTRADE OPENINGS
As per the National Construction Code
3.9.2.3 Construction of barriers to prevent falls
clause (c), a 125mm sphere must not pass
through this gap. (Part 3.9.2 Barriers and
Handrails | NCC, n.d.)
Although as shown in this image, the
architectural model has shown a gap of
±
279mm. With this gap, the possibilities of
children falling may occur and does not fit the
National Construction Code Standard. Hence,
deemed a safety hazard.
Possibly continuing the glass to cover this
glass would be recommended to allow this to
comply.
3. FIRE WALLS
In the fire exit, all fire walls
are fire rated and evident to
show in color red. While one
wall element is a regular
gypsum wall. It is common sense that this does not comply with the Fire Code, hence shall
be deemed a safety issue.
The Architectural team must change this wall to ensure it is specified as a Fire rated wall.
1.3.1 CLASH DETECTION WORKFLOW
Traditionally, Architects are the first to give output to the model as they are the designers to
the structure. Once the design has been produced, the Architect hires and hands it over to
the consultants (in this case the Structural and Mechanical) wherein with their expertise,
produce a suggested output to make the building feasible to build and function. Clashes
normally happen either due to human error, not updated drawings and referring to a
superseded, or even miscommunication between teams. In determining who is to take
precedence over a clash change will depend on the reason.
As the Architect whom is in-
charge of the design stage,
normally the consultants
should design their work to
suit the Architect’s
schematic design drawings
unless there is a structural /
mechanical issue that does
not make the design
feasible.
The structural engineer
being designing to make the
Architect’s work buildable,
takes a great responsibility
in the effectiveness of the
building’s safety and
stability. Manpower and
materials for this are
normally less flexible than
Mechanical.
Among the three
Mechanical engineers
should be flexible to adjust
the pipe and duct system as
long as the Architect is able
to provide adequate space
for these to run. Normally
above ceiling to the next
floor slab or even risers for
high-level construction.
In determining who takes precedence over the change, we would be able to determine who
should be assigned to adjust the clash.
There are different methods in determining a clash in Navisworks. As mentioned in Michael’s
week 7 class:
1.
Selecting and hiding elements to visually find the clash

2.
Enabling Sectioning to look through the structure to visually find the clash
3.
Running a clash detective test.
The method behind the clash detection we used to provide information regarding clash
detection was 2. Enabling Sectioning to look through the structure to visually find the clash.
Through personal experience, it is good to look at the model as a whole to be able to see the
relationship between one element to another through different BIM models. This method
requires a keen eye and experience in the field that can be used for a situational basis such
as this assignment where only 10 clashes were required but normally it is best for to run
through different tests to find ALL clashes in the model.
For the purpose of this assignment running through tests was a little confusing as it would
pick up certain elements that are not necessarily a clash. For example, Pipes going through
architectural floors to reach the toilet’s water closet. Hence, we delivered through the
sectioning method as it gives an overall overview of what is the relationship between one
element to another. From the image above, in one section cut a few clashes can already be
seen like:
1.
Structural framing to pipe – a structural framing does not physically run inside a pipe as it
loses its integrity as well as the pipe would not be able to produce expected flow if there
is something in it.
2.
Pipe to stud wall – Pipes can run into a stud wall but vertically and for a certain reason
such as there could be a basin that is mounted to a wall but in this case, it is just running
through the stud wall horizontally hence considered a clash.
3.
Airduct to ceiling – As per the other airducts in the file, it should not drop like a
rangehood. Hence mechanical engineers must adjust size and height.
With being able to view the section, the writer found section method more convenient and
was able to determine 10 different clashes in the model using this method which can be seen
in 2.2.

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.
