BIM for Sanitary Installations: Design Faster with Henco

The sanitary installation sector is rapidly digitalizing. Installers, engineering consultancies, and contractors are increasingly working in BIM (Building Information Modeling). What was once an added advantage has now become an essential part of an efficient construction process.

Henco has been supporting this evolution for years with a comprehensive BIM ecosystem for multilayer pipes, fittings, and accessories. Thanks to intelligent BIM tools, MEP engineers can design sanitary installations faster, more accurately, and with fewer errors.

Design Smarter in Less Time

With BIM, you no longer work with simple lines but with intelligent objects that contain product data, dimensions, and technical properties. This offers numerous advantages:

  • Reduced failure and rework costs

  • Clash detection before construction begins

  • Automatic material schedules

  • Always accurate and up-to-date product information

Henco supports this with an extensive library of BIM objects for Revit and AutoCAD, fully based on existing Henco products.

A Multilayer Pipe That Thinks Along

The Henco multilayer pipe (PE-Xc/AL/PE-Xc) forms the foundation of the system and is fully BIM-ready. During the design process, you automatically work with the correct diameters, bending radii, and connections. When a pipe diameter or configuration is modified, the associated product properties are updated automatically. This ensures that the model remains accurate and consistent at all times.

Intelligent Fittings for Flawless Results

From elbows and tees to manifolds, Henco fittings are fully integrated into the BIM environment. During the design process, the correct components are automatically added, resulting in:

  • Consistent installations

  • Accurate bills of materials

  • A direct link between design and procurement

  • Work More Efficiently with the Product Line Placer

With the free Henco Product Line Placer for Revit, you can design piping systems up to twice as fast. The tool automates fitting selection, keeps your model up to date, and ensures a smooth workflow from design to installation.

The fact that engineers can design piping systems twice as quickly with this tool makes it one of the most efficient solutions on the market for MEP engineers.

Always Up-to-Date Product Data via MEPcontent

All Henco BIM objects are centrally available through MEPcontent. This gives you access to the latest product information at all times and allows you to start working immediately in Revit or AutoCAD.

Benefits of MEPcontent

  • One central access point for all Henco BIM objects

  • Up-to-date and reliable product information

  • Clear classification of pipes, fittings, and accessories

  • Fast integration into existing BIM workflows

Why Do MEP Engineers Choose Henco?

  • Faster design processes

  • Fewer errors during engineering and installation

  • Automatic fitting selection

  • Always up-to-date product data

  • Seamless workflow from design to ordering

In short, Henco offers one of the most comprehensive BIM ecosystems for sanitary installations. By combining intelligent software with reliable products, you can maximize the benefits of BIM and improve the efficiency of every project.
