BIM Coordination for Transit Infrastructure in Washington DC- Electrical & Safety Systems

The WMATA Northern Bus Garage Replacement project in Washington, DC required a COBie-compliant BIM model that reflected as-built conditions and ensured system-wide integration. We provided BIM coordination in Washington DC for electrical, SCADA, lightning protection, and fire alarm systems. This supported both design and construction phases in line with WMATA BIM and Asset standards.

Scope & Project Details

  • BIM coordination for Electrical, SCADA, Lightning Protection, and Fire Alarm systems. 
  • Creation of detailed coordination models and shop drawings. 
  • Leading clash detection to resolve conflicts before construction. 
  • Integration of VESDA fire detection systems into coordinated BIM models. 
  • Development of prefabrication drawings to support modular workflows. 
  • Delivery of as-built BIM models, FM data, O&M records, and warranties in compliance with COBie. 

Findings and outcomes

BIM coordination in Washington DC reduced rework and kept the project on schedule. 

COBie-compliant as-built BIM deliverables provided accurate FM data and O&M records. 

●  Prefabrication drawings streamlined fieldwork and minimized delays. 

Integration of fire alarm, lightning protection, and SCADA systems improved safety and resilience. 

Delivered models fully aligned with WMATA BIM and Asset requirements, strengthening accountability across the lifecycle.
