BIM for Large Infrastructure projects - video
BIM for Large Infrastructure projects - Important Decisions
Important Decisions - Software Selection - Features - Interoperability - Staff capability - Hardware & network requirements - System Speed and Latency - Client/Contractor compatibility
Example of Software Selection (Interoperability) 1.Engineering/ Modelling 2. Coordination 3.Deliverables AECOsim Bentley MX Ben. Rebar MicroStation DGN DWG PDF DWG Civil 3D NWD Navisworks NWD Revit Cads RC P: NovaPoint
Important Decisions - Selecting and Staffing Design Teams - Work packaging - Train/Hire - Timing of Workload - Design team must buy in to 3D delivery - New Roles (Information Officer)
- Important Decisions - Level of Development & Detail
Important Decisions - 3D or 2D - Depends on design team capabilities - Project requirements - Programme - Budget
Useful Findings
Useful Findings: Client Benefits of BIM Shared Understanding Stakeholder Visualisation Model for Stakeholder Reputation...MMD has produced a fantastic 3d model which runs through a very complex terrain. From what i have seen on other projects, this is maybe the most complete and advanced infrastructure model you can find today... Construction Progress...A lot of the things MMD has done in this project with 3d models will probably set a benchmark for how things, are presented in 3d in future infrastructure projects in Norway.

Useful Findings QA & Workflow Tools
Useful Findings - BIM Management should allow changes to plan if beneficial: - Change to Navisworks in 2013
Useful Findings - Virtual walkthrough for Safety Assessments
Useful Findings 3D in Design Worked Well Design appreciation across disciplines Access to wider design team Sharing live information Design development with stakeholders Geospatial coordination Can Improve Planning: sequencing and interdependence of assumptions and deliverables Cut back on 2D drawings more Reduce number of software platforms (if possible) 100% model led designs Improved awareness on construction across teams
Useful Findings - Construction Information 3D Model - Setting Out
Useful Findings - Construction Information 3D Model - Setting Out
3D Model - Setting Out
3D Model - Setting Out Information Directly from 3D Model Appreciation of Construction Interfaces Maintain Project Controls
3D Model - Setting Out
Useful Findings working with the models Risks / Collaboration Need a shared understanding and accepted allocation of risk
Useful Findings - Challenges Time for changes, updates Timing of activities Resource management
Useful Findings Summary Positive Experience, many parties welcomed this new approach and took advantage of the project. Time savings on construction stage compared to traditional projects Needs buy in from all parties Using BIM and a CDE makes the larger projects more manageable, and can deliver project savings in time and quality.
