Automated Clash Detection in Structural Detailing

Making structural design seamless and error-free

Automated Clash Detection in Structural Detailing

What is Clash Detection?

Early identification of spatial conflicts between:

  • Structural elements

  • MEP systems

  • Architectural components

Why It Matters

1 – Cost Savings
Prevent expensive rework and field
changes
2 – Schedule Efficiency
Reduce project delays by 15–20%
3 – Design Quality
Ensure structural integrity and
system compatibility

Types of Clashes in Structural Detailing

  • Hard Clashes
    Physical overlaps between elements Example: Beam through ductwork

Soft Clashes
Buffer zone violations
Example: Insufficient clearance for maintenance
Workflow Clashes
Sequencing conflicts Example: Installation order
problems

Implementation Best Practices

  • Establish clear BIM protocols

  • Run clash detection weekly

  • Prioritize conflicts by impact

  • Document resolution process

  • Train team on clash interpretation
