Semiconductor facility expansions require design teams to stay aligned as systems develop and project requirements become more detailed.
AM Technical Solutions (AM) has strong experience in setting up BIM Standards for Advanced Technology Facilities and has set the standard for a global semiconductor leader.. AM is currently providing BIM coordination and design support for an ongoing semiconductor manufacturing expansion in Phoenix, Arizona. Our team supplemented the existing project group with BIM design resources experienced in semiconductor facility standards and high-tech project environments.
The assignment supported later phases of the expansion, with AM resources working inside the project’s established design process. The team contributed additional modeling and coordination capacity while following existing QA/QC expectations, safety requirements, and documentation standards.
Our Project Support Providing BIM Coordination
AM provided BIM designers who worked within the project team’s existing workflows using Revit, BIM 360, Navisworks, and Newforma Konekt.
The scope included 3D modeling and documentation for VESDA, fire alarm, and limited sprinkler systems. It also included clash detection, design coordination, and support for VESDA detector and pipe network design using Aspire 3.3 software.
The work required close coordination with the broader design team. AM resources participated in project meetings, supported model alignment, and followed the project’s established standards throughout the assignment.
The team worked onsite in Phoenix for approximately six months, which allowed the resources to integrate directly into the project environment and contribute within the same systems and processes used by the rest of the design team.
Supporting Design Development in a High-Tech Facility
BIM coordination is especially valuable in semiconductor projects, where multiple technical systems have to fit within tightly controlled facility spaces.
For this expansion, AM supported coordination for VESDA, fire alarm, and limited sprinkler systems. Clash detection through Navisworks and Newforma Konekt gave the project team another layer of visibility during design development and helped surface coordination issues before construction.
AM resources also followed the client’s onboarding, safety, training, model-sharing, and documentation requirements. Their familiarity with structured high-tech design environments helped them integrate quickly into the existing workflow and support the project team throughout the assignment.
By providing experienced BIM design resources throughout the project, AM helped expand the team’s design capacity during an active phase of semiconductor facility development.
