Educational establishments are among the popular facilities VEC helps construct. Our team understands how crucial it is for universities, colleges, and similar institutions to provide students with the appropriate infrastructure for studying, researching, relaxing, etc. Thus, we found it exciting to help the University of San Francisco (USF) with its steamline replacement project on the lower campus. 

The client aimed to excavate the current steamline infrastructure and replace and repave Welch Field and other nearby pathways. They involve the lower portion of the Gleason lawn and the north & south footpaths. During the project, the most significant challenge for VEC was to guarantee high-quality services despite the university continuing its work and activities.

Our specialists worked on that steamline maintenance/replacement project for the USF lower campus in 2022. Here, we provided onsite technology and mechanical BIM & VDC services.

Onsite Technology

With robust 3D laser scanning, VEC’s experts brought clarity to the project. By streamlining the process, our experienced team could assess the current situation properly and identify clashes and other potential issues. Besides, laser scanning technology allowed for accurate and precise capturing of the existing space conditions. That, in turn, enables trades to continue a strategic movement through the particular space to meet all project requirements.

Mechanical BIM & VDC

When it comes to mechanical BIM & VDC services, we prioritized the installers’ needs during all design stages, including 3D model creation, coordination, and drawings production. Therefore, our experts provided top-notch constructability markups and routing optimizations to create relevant buildable models and drawings. Meanwhile, with prefabrication planning, we could help the customer save resources during the replacement process.
