During a recent construction phase, an unexpected issue arose on-site where the cable inlet point was not excavated as per the coordinated design, creating challenges in a narrow service zone. Leveraging our BIM coordination tools, we provided a fast, data-driven solution.
Using 3D modelling and clash detection, we:
Accurately recalculated the minimum permissible bend radius for the cable route within the limited space
Proposed an alternative routing strategy based on actual site conditions
Delivered a phased solution allowing the client to backfill 70% of the trench safely while awaiting delayed cable delivery
This approach minimised downtime, ensured compliance with service tolerances, and maintained flexibility for future installation — demonstrating the value of BIM in solving real-time site issues efficiently.
