High-Capacity Desalination Facility – Saudi Arabia
This large-scale desalination plant was developed to provide a reliable clean water supply for both municipal and industrial use. Designed within a constrained industrial footprint, the facility demanded precise coordination of complex mechanical systems and infrastructure to ensure efficient operation and long-term sustainability.
Scope of Work
F2i delivered full digital engineering and construction support, including:
- Detailed design of desalination systems and supporting infrastructure
- BIM modeling at LOD 350 and 400 for architecture, structure, and MEP elements
- Mechanical system layout and coordination within limited spatial parameters
- Integration of process design with civil and utility infrastructure
Results Delivered
F2i’s BIM-driven approach enabled seamless coordination of technical systems within the plant’s compact footprint. Our high-resolution models supported clash-free design, efficient construction sequencing, and optimal utility routing—helping bring a mission-critical infrastructure project online to serve essential water demands in the region.
Clash-Free Coordination Accuracy in Complex MEP & Infrastructure:
61%
F2i’s BIM modeling at LOD 350–400 resolved over 60% of potential design conflicts early, ensuring smooth integration of mechanical, architectural, and civil systems within tight spatial constraints.
Construction Sequencing & Utility Routing Efficiency:
47%
Our detailed digital engineering enabled nearly half improvement in construction planning, reducing delays and optimizing utility pathways for efficient installation and maintenance.
Space Optimization within a Confined Industrial Footprint:
53%
F2i’s precise mechanical layouts and infrastructure integration maximized usable space—improving facility operability and serviceability by over half compared to conventional design approaches
