Case Study: Alpha Mechanical achieves faster mechanical HVAC layout at HOAG Hospital with LightYX

Alpha Mechanical completes hospital HVAC layout in 12 days with LightYX

Alpha Mechanical, a mechanical contractor, faced the challenge of efficiently laying out thousands of HVAC components for a large hospital expansion project. They partnered with the vendor LightYX and utilized their BeamerOne system to project the layout directly from digital files onto the jobsite surfaces.

By using LightYX, the crew was able to project 50-70 points at a time, organizing the layout by layers and utilizing grid lines for accuracy. This solution allowed Alpha Mechanical to complete the entire layout of 11,123 points in just 12 days, saving an estimated 20 days compared to manual methods. LightYX provided a measurable impact through a significant productivity boost, reduced manual measuring, and less risk of rework.
