Project Overview:

Barin Group partnered with Haskell to expand Lamb Weston’s 230,000 sq ft Design-Assist Cold Storage Facility in American Falls, Idaho. The project required seamless coordination of both the electrical and plumbing scopes, ranging from underground bank installations to above-ground plumbing and conduit routing. Barin Group needed assistance with clash detection and managing coordination meetings to ensure a smooth process.

Enter BIMTM. With expertise in Electrical and Plumbing Coordination, BIMTM brought Revit and Navisworks to the table to streamline the design and installation process. By using cutting-edge BIM software, BIMTM provided detailed, real-time collaboration and coordination to avoid costly clashes and reduce field layout time. Their work ensured exact placement of equipment, boosting efficiency and minimizing delays.

Results:

BIMTM’s impact was immediate and measurable. By delivering precise underground conduit layouts and dimensioned overhead designs, BIMTM accelerated the prefabrication process by 50%, reducing installation time and labor costs for critical components such as Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Alarm and Lighting systems. This precision contributed to an estimated 25% savings in labor hours and cut field layout time by 50%, all while ensuring Barin Group met Haskell’s high standards for quality and safety.

Through advanced BIM modeling, BIMTM worked hand-in-hand with the owner and Barin Group to define early installation specifications. This proactive approach not only avoided potential issues but also allowed for greater schedule efficiency—saving approximately 1500 hours on the project timeline and reducing overall project costs by an estimated $112,500.

The success of the Lamb Weston’s Project Alpha Cold Storage highlights the power of BIMTM’s coordination services, which enabled Barin Group to deliver a top-tier installation that exceeded expectations. Early clash detection and seamless communication resulted in a well-coordinated, efficient project that was delivered ahead of schedule, with tangible cost savings across the board.
