In the current context of the continuous deepening of life science research, animal laboratories, as crucial research carriers, the quality and efficiency of their engineering construction have received increasing attention. Animal laboratory projects involve numerous complex systems, such as the precise control of the breeding environment for experimental animals, the strict aseptic guarantee in the experimental operation area, and the environmental protection requirements in the waste treatment area. The emergence of BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology has brought about a revolutionary change in animal laboratory engineering. As Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., which has been deeply engaged in the purification equipment field for many years, we have a profound understanding of the great potential of BIM technology in animal laboratory engineering and actively apply it to actual projects. Today, let's take you to understand how BIM technology reshapes animal laboratory engineering.
The Transformations Brought by BIM Technology to Animal Laboratory Engineering
1. Precise Design Visualization
Traditional design drawings of animal laboratories are often presented in two - dimensions, which are not intuitive enough for the display of spatial relationships and complex systems. BIM technology can construct a three - dimensional building information model, presenting various functional areas of the animal laboratory, such as the experimental animal breeding area, the experimental operation area, the personnel purification area, and the waste treatment area, in a vivid three - dimensional form. Designers can repeatedly adjust and optimize the layout of each area in the model, and experimental personnel can also visually experience the actual spatial effect of the laboratory after completion in advance, thus putting forward suggestions that are more in line with actual needs. For example, when designing the layout of the experimental operation area, through the BIM model, it can be clearly seen whether the placement of different experimental equipment is reasonable and whether there is enough space for personnel to operate, avoiding the problem of unreasonable space utilization being discovered only after construction.
2. Efficient Collaborative Design
Animal laboratory projects involve multiple professional fields such as architecture, structure, water supply and drainage, electricity, and purification. In the past, there were problems such as untimely information transfer and misunderstandings in communication and collaboration among different professions, which easily led to design conflicts. BIM technology provides a collaborative work platform, allowing designers from various professions to carry out design work on the same model. For example, when a water supply and drainage designer is laying pipeline routes, if there is a conflict with the electrical professional's lines, the BIM system will immediately issue a prompt. Through real - time communication and coordination, design conflicts can be quickly resolved, greatly shortening the design cycle and improving design quality. When participating in the design of animal laboratory projects, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. closely collaborates with other professional teams with the help of BIM technology to ensure that the purification equipment we provide achieves the optimal in spatial layout and system integration.
3. Accurate Construction Simulation and Schedule Management
The uncertainties in the construction process are important factors affecting the progress of animal laboratory projects. BIM technology can simulate the construction process, discovering potential problems in the construction process in advance, such as unreasonable construction sequences and limited construction space. Through simulation, a more reasonable construction plan can be formulated, reducing errors and rework during the construction process. At the same time, BIM technology can also be used to track and manage the construction progress in real - time. By associating the construction schedule plan with the BIM model, by comparing the actual progress with the planned progress, schedule deviations can be promptly detected and corresponding measures can be taken for adjustment. For example, when installing purification equipment, through the BIM model, the installation sequence of the equipment and the required installation space can be clearly seen, ensuring the smooth progress of the construction process and improving construction efficiency.
4. Facility Management throughout the Life Cycle
The operation and management after the completion of the animal laboratory are equally important. The BIM model contains rich information about the laboratory's building structure, equipment, and facilities, and this information can provide strong support for facility management during the operation stage. Through BIM technology, managers can quickly query information such as the location, model, and maintenance records of equipment, facilitating timely equipment maintenance and upkeep. For example, when a purification device fails, through the BIM model, the location of the device can be quickly located, and detailed parameters and maintenance manuals of the device can be obtained, greatly shortening the maintenance time and ensuring the normal operation of the laboratory.
The Practice of Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. in the Application of BIM Technology
Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. actively applies BIM technology in animal laboratory projects to provide better services for customers. In the early stage of the project, we use BIM technology to jointly optimize the design plan of the purification system with the design team, ensuring the perfect integration of purification equipment with the overall layout of the laboratory. During the construction process, the installation of purification equipment is guided by the BIM model to improve installation accuracy and efficiency. At the same time, we also provide customers with facility management training based on BIM technology to help customers better operate and maintain the animal laboratory.
BIM technology is profoundly changing the construction and management mode of animal laboratory engineering. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. will continue to give play to its professional advantages in the purification equipment field, combine with BIM technology, and create a more efficient, intelligent, and scientific - research - demand - compliant animal laboratory environment for customers. We look forward to working hand in hand with more scientific research institutions and enterprises to jointly promote the development of the life science research cause.
