Hartle Expands In-House Design Capabilities with Revit MEP

Hartle Ltd has further developed its in-house mechanical design capabilities with the introduction of Autodesk Revit MEP, providing additional tools to support the design and coordination of mechanical building services.

As part of this investment, Hartle’s engineers have undertaken training in the software, enabling the company to incorporate 3D modelling into its existing design processes.

Introducing 3D Mechanical Services Design

Revit MEP is a Building Information Modelling (BIM) tool used to develop detailed 3D models of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

By working with coordinated digital models, Hartle’s engineers can develop mechanical services designs alongside architectural and structural information, providing a clearer understanding of how individual systems fit within the wider building.

Improving Project Coordination

Modern developments often contain complex arrangements of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, domestic water and drainage systems, all of which need to fit within the available space.

Using Revit MEP allows these services to be modelled in three dimensions, helping engineers visualise pipework, ductwork and equipment before installation begins.

This can be particularly valuable on apartment developments, hotels and commercial buildings, where multiple services must be coordinated within plant rooms, risers and ceiling voids.

Supporting Hartle’s Continued Development

Bringing Revit MEP design in-house represents another step in the development of Hartle’s technical capabilities.

By investing in software and engineer training, Hartle can support closer integration with architectural design teams, improve coordination and identify potential issues earlier in the project.

This additional capability strengthens Hartle’s approach to delivering coordinated mechanical services packages, from initial design through to installation and commissioning.
