MEP BIM Specialist

Simplex-d Studio
Milan, Italy
10.2023 - Current

Involved in the full BIM lifecycle of a large-scale data center project, contributing across multiple disciplines and systems from modeling to construction documentation and as-built production, including:

  • Electrical systems: Developed and updated cable tray systems for both construction and as-built phases. Modeled and placed small power systems.Created custom Revit families for cable tray supports and electrical fixtures with symbolic annotations to meet project standards.
  • CRAH (Computer Room Air Handler) cooling systems: Modeled the CRAH cooling system in Revit, including chilled water piping and equipment connections. Created custom families for valves, filters, and flanges based on technical datasheets. Prepared detailed drawing sheets.
  • Sprinkler System: Modeled the sprinkler system layout in Revit, ensuring accurate coordination of piping, fittings, and sprinkler heads according to project specifications.
  • Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD) System: Modeled ASD pipework for both above-ceiling and below-ceiling installations in Revit. Developed custom families for associated fire alarm devices based on technical specifications.
  • Underground services: Low voltage containments: Modeled conduits for low voltage containment systems.Performed clash detection and resolved interferences by modifying conduit layouts and routing to ensure full coordination with other underground services.
  • Rainwater Sewage System: Modeled rainwater drainage piping systems in Revit and created custom manhole families based on technical datasheets.


Additional Project Involvements:

  • Modeled ventilation systems and duct layouts for various building projects using Revit, ensuring alignment with design intent and spatial constraints.
  • Resolved clashes with structural and MEP elements by modifying duct routes and coordinating layout changes.
  • Contributed to lighting system layouts by placing lighting fixtures based on manufacturer datasheets and project specifications.
