Leica iCON build: MEP & HVAC

Advance your MEP and HVAC installation workflow with digital construction tools that unite accuracy and efficiency.

iCON-Trade-Pages-Website-Visuals-MEP-HVAC

As building architecture complexity increases and installation timelines grow tighter, the inefficient and error prone manual methods for laying out pipework, cable trays, ductwork and other HVAC and MEP elements often result in rework, delays, and profit losses. Be faster and confident in your MEP and HVAC installation work with Leica iCON build digital construction tools. Speed up familiar workflows and ensure accuracy, from preparing design data and positioning points to quality checks and reporting.

 

Layout Points and M&E Fit Out with Kane Group

Since being founded in 1967, Kane, a leading MEP contractor in the UK, has grown into a multi-disciplined Building Services Contractor. As part of the West India Docks project, a twenty-six-story hotel building, they utilised the Leica iCON solutions for building construction layout applications, to replace traditional methods of layout using chalk and string. Watch how iCON increased productivity by minimising labour time and mistakes, and on the other hand, increased accuracy and speed.

Make digital plans work for you

When digital plans don’t contain the points you need to layout for drilling, the Leica iCON Sketching app enables you to quickly adapt designs to your MEP and HVAC installation work. Identify, focus, and add points to quickly stakeout the centre of circles, offsets, and more. Additionally, automatically detect industry standard objects like hangars during import, creating just the points you need in the design for a more direct path to layout.

Automate to streamline repetitive layout

Installing racks, conduits, pipework, or ductwork involves repetitive point positioning and marking. Leica iCON build Layout Points and Layout Objects apps offer automated staking routines with selection guidance that identifies and directs you to the next nearest point. Digital data and intuitive guidance lead you past strings and tapes to faster, efficient, and precise installations.

Prove your as-built progress

Keep current with as-built progress and prove your accuracy with the iCON build Checks app. Quickly check that your installations are within tolerances and identify clashes earlier for faster fixes and less rework, keeping you on budget. Be confident in your work as you hand over the most up to date design data to other trades working alongside or after.
