Crucial Information On Coordination Drawings

By Frances Taylor


Currently, coordination drawing also termed as composites are essential towards the accomplishment of institutional or commercial building project. Coordination has been predominantly relied on under construction projects to aid in avoiding any physical conflict concerning the arrangement or design of equipment within spaces as well as provision of routes for ducts, pipes, as well as raceway systems. Even presently, Coordination Drawings are still relied on in developing appropriate building designs and equipment positioning.

In most cases, there are risks of interference for building projects having advanced electrical, plumbing, and mechanical requirements. In addition, the production risks become compounded when schedules are more extensive. As a result, eliminating any problem in coordination will be characterized by prerequisite development of mechanical, electric and plumbing system requirements. This will ease the running and implementing of construction projects for structures that utilize highly mechanized implements.

Normally, the arrangements and designs of structures that host highly mechanical structures need the careful coordination of a number of features. First, the least reservations of the floor space to the HVAC systems, water pump and tanks, air handlers, backup electrical generators, chillers, water sprinkler distribution, boilers, elevator machinery, as well as other electronic system controls ought to be provided. Secondly, a mechanical service access is required. This will allow for achieving compliance with the specified codes giving provisions for repairs, equipment cleaning, and on-site inspections.

The third aspect is the vertical and horizontal clearances that entails the overhead hoists and for access by large equipment. This also gives room for sufficient floor staging with doorway spaces to allow for the removal and replacement of equipment. On the other hand, constructing highly performing mechanical rooms need the aggressive prioritization and coordination of the available spaces. As a result, having designs or layouts outlined or projects and successfully completed together with the coordinated drawings is essential.

Predefining the structure of a mechanical space has a lot of advantages such as; the drawing provides the fabricator with essential information that can be left out but later affect the outcome. Construction documents can leave some information but drawings can provide all the information. The information that can be left out includes material with special composition that can have an effect on the space.

Nevertheless, coordinated drawings also assist in mitigating damages caused by corrosion or organic growths that thrive in such situations. Another benefit relates to the achievement of dimensional provisions and clearances for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems. This can be designed using the footprints and locations of the ultimate equipment, ductwork, and auxiliary systems.

On the other hand, such a drawing also allows for the achievement of inter-disciplinary coordination. This is since an appropriate plane transitions are given for accurate floor spaces as well as floor and wall penetrations.

Also, the details of engineering specifications contained in a shop drawing is considered beneficial for the ultimate comparison as well as approvals against the original design and specifications. Comprehensive utilization and performance data that lack in the general vendor documentation is usually outlined by these sketches. In addition, the final mechanical schedule and specifications for materials can be carried out on the basis of these data sheets.
