WGA was designing a new booster pump station and needed a way to communicate complex piping, equipment, and mechanical layouts clearly to stakeholders. The 2D plans alone were not enough for:

  • Contractors
  • City staff
  • Owners
  • Field crews

Each group needed to understand the arrangement of pumps, valves, sensors, and pipe connections without confusion or misinterpretation.

Traditional drawings made it challenging to visualize:

  • The exact routing of process pipes
  • The relationship between suction/discharge lines
  • Valve locations, tees, elbows, reducers, and access points
  • Clearances around pumps and equipment
  • Installation workflow and sequencing

This gap created risk of miscommunication, field errors, delays, and change orders.

Plansrow created a complete 3D BIM model of the booster pump system based on the design plans provided by WGA.
Our deliverables included:

  • A fully developed LOD 300–350 mechanical model
  • Detailed isometric views for every process line
  • Accurate representation of pumps, valves, tees, reducers, elbows, meters, and supports
  • Spatial coordination to ensure real-world constructability
  • High-clarity 3D visuals used for presentations and contractor communication

This model allowed all stakeholders to see the system as it would be built, not just as lines on a plan.

  • Clear communication between engineers, contractors, and owners
  • Reduced field errors by resolving misunderstandings during design instead of construction
  • Faster approvals because the 3D visuals told the complete story instantly
  • Better construction planning through predictable equipment spacing, pipe routing, and access points
  • Higher confidence for field crews installing pumps, piping, valves, and fittings
  • Professional presentation that elevated WGA’s communication with its clients and jurisdictional agencies
