BIM services offered by aquatherm __

aquatherm already supports you as a leading manufacturer of plastic piping systems made of polypropylene and by offering you a first-class service. But are you aware of our Building Information Modeling (BIM) services?

The short answer: In addition to consulting, planning, construction site instruction and training, we also offer you the provision of planning data and we can provide you with all CAD data in the most common formats for pipeline network calculation as a download.

Are you interested in further details and background information about our services for BIM? Then we offer you further insights below.

Advantages of Building Information Modeling at a glance

BIM plays an important role in all life cycles of a building as it can be used in all planning, construction, and use phases.

In addition, Building Information Modeling reduces errors. Cost-intensive rework and rejects on the construction site can be ruled out right from the start.

Using a 3D model, more efficient work processes are possible and the productivity of all parties involved is increased and with the right BIM software, you can prevent information loss. Each trade has access, adds data, or informs itself about changes.

aquatherm and BIM

aquatherm has been dealing with the complex topic of Building Information Modeling for over 10 years as it became apparent that 3D models and data were becoming increasingly important for planning companies.

This is how aquatherm supports its customers with Building Information Modeling

Our customers have not only relied on the quality of our products for around 50 years. Our BIM services can also support you in a variety of ways.

BIM in aquatherm production

We can support you in the planning of a piping system in BIM with just a few steps:

• In order to make a detailed CAD drawing in 3D, we need information. That's why we offer our customers our support right from the first step – in testing and processing. Together we check the available data.
• In the second step – inquiry and check – you enter the most important data with the help of our distribution query forms. After you submit the form, the planning team checks this information for plausibility and completeness.
• In the third step – planning and coordination – the planning team forwards your documents to the design department. There, a CAD drawing (in 3D) is created. With the help of this drawing, aquatherm ensures that no more material than required is used for the production of the components.
• You will then receive the CAD drawing for inspection and production approval. You check the drawing with the trades involved in your BIM project. On request, you will receive the CAD data. You can adopt these for your existing planning software and use them together with the project participants.

Make aquatherm models functional for customers

aquatherm not only takes care of the verification or preparation of relevant data for customers and their BIM projects. We are also working on making our models work for you. These BIM models can then be used by anyone, anytime, anywhere.

You want to download our CAD and BIM data? Please fill out the linked form to gain access to the models.

aquatherm also supports data enrichment. It takes a lot of data from all trades involved in the project to create a meaningful CAD drawing. This is the only way to ensure smooth planning and implementation for a successful BIM project.

Building Information Modeling: What does aquatherm provide?

We offer data sets for the following calculation programs:

• MagiCAD – a BIM solution for Revit and AutoCAD
• Trimble Nova – a software platform for managing projects
• liNear – Software for building technology

You can also download the following record formats from our homepage:

• RFA for Autodesk Revit Software
• STP für 3D-Bearbeitungsprogramme
• IPT is an Autodesk file format for parts (IPT).
• DWG is a CAD format and can be opened with AutoCAD.
