Technology Led Processes
Computer-aided Drafting and Design (CAD)
Here at Alpadex Plumbing, we provide cutting-edge technology that minimizes time and effort on the job by utilizing the systems below.
Using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and AutoCAD, Alpadex Plumbing is able to provide a more efficient and precise plumbing service. BIM allows for the creation of 3D models of plumbing systems, which can help identify and avoid potential issues before construction even starts. AutoCAD allows for the quick and easy creation of digital 2D and 3D designs, which can be accessed anywhere at any time. With AutoCAD, Alpadex Plumbing is able to design and engineer plumbing systems with accuracy, making it easier to plan and coordinate the installation process. The precise measurement and counting of pipes afforded by AutoCAD also makes it easier for field workers to install those pipes. After the AutoCAD stage, the 3D drawings are sent to the Prefabrication stage where the pipes and fittings are made and stacked accordingly. With its commitment to utilizing technology to streamline the plumbing process, Alpadex Plumbing is positioned to grow and thrive in the modern era.
CAD in Action
Fabrication CAD MEP allows users to create BIM documents with accurate location, and collaboration with other trades results in time-saving procedures, such as decreasing the use of a chipping hammer.
Dedicated Prefabrication Team Onsite
Fabricating PVC underground pipes prior to installation allows us to take the thinking out of the field when it comes to measuring and cutting pipe, thereby minimizing installation time.
VALUE ENGINEERING INTEGRATION
At Alpadex, we prioritize the conservation of natural resources through value engineering. We understand the vital role plumbing plays in achieving energy cost savings while maintaining performance. Our dedicated team offers valuable recommendations for alternative construction methods, designs, or materials to enhance project quality and efficiency. It's important to emphasize that our approach to enhancing project value involves a comprehensive analysis of factors such as cost, long-term maintenance, durability, aesthetics, and more. By carefully examining these elements, we aim to optimize the project for the benefit of all stakeholders. Safety is our utmost priority. We meticulously design plumbing systems that adhere to health and safety guidelines for the public, staying current with Florida plumbing building code standards set by organizations like the ICC, ANSI, and ASPE. Our ultimate goal is to deliver a safe and trustworthy plumbing system for our customers.
