Advanced MEP BIM for a High-Capacity Sports Venue

A large-scale stadium project in Qatar and Dubai coordinated through advanced MEP BIM to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and zero-clash installation.

MaRS Design Studio successfully delivered a large-scale MEP BIM coordination project for a multi-purpose stadium located across Qatar and Dubai. Spread over 20,000 sq. m. with a project budget of $12 million USD, the scope involved complex mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems integrated into a fast-track construction schedule.

Our BIM team provided detailed 3D modeling, clash detection, coordination, and constructability analysis for all MEP systems. The project demanded high precision due to the stadium’s scale, occupancy, and technical requirements. Through advanced BIM tools and workflows, we ensured error-free execution, optimized service routing, and enhanced collaboration between trades.

Project Challenges

Complex Service Routing Across Large Volumes

Stadiums have wide open areas and tiered seating, which made MEP routing across large spans and heights difficult. Coordinating ducts, cable trays, and piping through structural constraints required accurate modeling and real-time clash management.

Fast-Track Schedule and Multiple Stakeholders

With a tight construction timeline and several contractors involved, the challenge was to maintain updated models and respond quickly to on-site changes. Delays in coordination could impact the entire project timeline.

High-Density MEP Zones in Limited Spaces

Key service areas like plant rooms and utility corridors had high MEP density. This made spatial coordination critical, as even minor misalignments could cause installation issues and delays.

Our Solutions & Approach

We used BIM to coordinate all MEP systems in real-time, ensuring smooth integration with structural and architectural models. Our team focused on accuracy, efficiency, and clear communication with all stakeholders.

Delivered LOD 400 BIM models for all MEP trades
