Asheville Regional Airport
Terminal Modernization
REVIT MODEL AT ASHEVILLE REGIONAL AIRPORT
OVERVIEW
DBS was awarded the contract to design an LOD300 Revit model for Gresham Smith, the architect responsible for the terminal modernization project at the Asheville Regional Airport.
The task encompassed a massive 100,000 sf, covering both public and non-public spaces within the airport. The primary objective was to detail the above-ceiling interstitial space to pinpoint and model all MEP components with a diameter of 1” or more. This initiative was spurred by the airport’s pressing need for updated as-builts.
OUR PROCESS: REVIT MODEL CREATION
The DBS team embarked on the project with a comprehensive evaluation of the airport’s expansive and intricate spaces. DBS documented the above ceiling interstitial regions, guaranteeing precise tracking of each MEP component.
Harnessing this collected data, DBS developed an LOD300 Revit model, emphasizing accuracy throughout the modeling phase. Before finalizing the model’s delivery, the team conducted thorough validation and testing procedures to ascertain its precision and dependability.
CHALLENGES
The sheer size of the space, coupled with the intricate details of both public and non-public areas, posed significant challenges in documentation and modeling.
BENEFITS
The model serves as a pivotal coordination tool, facilitating communication and understanding among various stakeholders, GC and subcontractors.
PROJECT RESULTS
Upon completion, DBS delivered a meticulously crafted LOD300 Revit model, meeting the exact requirements set by Gresham Smith on behalf of the Asheville Regional Airport.
This model not only bridges the gap left by the absence of updated as-builts but also promises to streamline future design, coordination, and construction activities at the airport. With DBS’s expertise, the airport is now equipped with a reliable tool that promises to serve its diverse needs in the years to come.
