Mining Facility BIM Coordination Across 44 Buildings

The mining facility programme involved design information for 44 buildings within an active industrial site in Poltava. TEBIN's role was to reconstruct and coordinate Building Information Models from existing project documentation, compare discipline information, and make construction risks visible before they propagated further into site work.

The source set included approximately 700 sheets and more than 50 discipline packages. The wider site context covered 29 hectares captured through laser scanning, providing a measured basis for reconstructing the master plan and reviewing how individual buildings connected with the existing facility.

Turning fragmented documentation into coordinated models

Large industrial programmes often accumulate drawings from different designers, packages, and issue dates. Each document may be understandable in isolation while the combined information contains unresolved geometry, inconsistent levels, missing interfaces, or contradictory assumptions.

TEBIN developed models from the available documentation and used them as a shared review environment. Discipline information could then be compared in context rather than checked only sheet by sheet. The process combined geometric clash detection with logical review of project documentation and building relationships.

Using laser scanning as site context

Laser scanning of the 29-hectare site provided a point-cloud record of the existing environment. TEBIN used that information to model the master-plan context and compare proposed information with measured site conditions.

The point cloud did not automatically make the design accurate. It created a reference against which levels, positions, access, and interfaces could be reviewed. Differences still required engineering interpretation, confirmation of survey suitability, and decisions by the responsible project participants.

Identifying and managing coordination risk

The archived project record reports approximately 3,000 coordination issues identified during review. These included geometric conflicts as well as logical errors and gaps between project packages.

Each issue needed enough context to be assessed, assigned, and resolved by the responsible party. The purpose of the issue record was not to maximise a clash count. It was to give the client and delivery teams a visible list of risks that could affect construction, procurement, or later planning.

The coordinated models also supported tender and procurement information, four-dimensional work planning, and BIM access points on site. This connected design review with the teams making construction and sequencing decisions.

Project outcome

The project converted a large, fragmented documentation set into a coordinated digital basis covering 44 buildings and their industrial site context. The review exposed approximately 3,000 issues for management by the responsible teams and created models that could support construction planning and the facility's future development.

For TEBIN, the project demonstrates the value of BIM reconstruction when the goal is not simply to reproduce drawings in three dimensions, but to reveal interfaces and information risks across an existing industrial programme.
