“…As BIM offers an integrated platform for collaborating with multiple discipline models, simplifying planning for designers, and facilitating smooth construction by detecting and resolving clashes with other utilities during the design phase. (3) BIM plays a pivotal role in designing complex projects due to its ability to address intricate designs. BIM can enhance the quality of building design information and establish effective mechanisms for sharing information among project team members.…”

Objectives: This study was conducted to achieve optimized power duct sizes with ensuring sufficient bending for the electrical cables at the road junction locations. Methods: Used Revit tool, a Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology to integrate the design data of electrical cables and for modelling the power duct structure. Tools in the Revit software were used to automate the cable bending and clash detection simulations tasks. Findings: With the help of these tools, we modeled cable routing and optimized power duct structure sizes, saving 90% of man-hours and achieving 20% cost savings at the site compared to conventional methods. Novelty: It’s a pioneering effort to integrate the design data of electrical cables and automate the cable routing by ensuring the sufficient bending radius by utilizing the tools in the Revit software. And optimization of the power duct size at the cable transition locations by performing multiple simulations of the model and clash detection. Keywords: BIM, Revit, Virtual Design, Cable Routing, Electrical Design
