4 Reasons to Implement BIM for Infrastructure Projects

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become a game-changer in the realm of infrastructure projects. This innovative approach to project management and design offers a multitude of benefits. we'll explore four compelling reasons why implementing BIM for infrastructure projects is essential for success. From enhanced collaboration to streamlined project management, discover how BIM can revolutionize the way we build our cities and critical infrastructure.

1. REASONSTO IMPLEMENTBIM TOYOUR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
2. #1 BIM FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AT PLANNING AND DESIGNING STAGE
3. The tools provided by BIM for planning and design become valuable right from the onset when it comes to infrastructure projects. It can allow architects and engineers to map out infrastructure design that would maximize the usage of available land. Its clash detection and 3D visualization capabilities also allow them to recognize any challenges that would arise with the proposed design. Those challenges and errors could be identified and risk could be mitigated. It also provides tools for proper collaboration between the stakeholders allowing infrastructure companies to better present their ideas to the stakeholders. It also allows the various members of the team to effectively communicate increasing productivity and reducing miscommunication.
4. #2 BIM FOR BETTER CONTROL OVER COST AND TIME
5. Infrastructure projects owing to their size and complexities often end up spanning years Similarly, there is considerable amount of money involved in these projects which needs to be accounted for. Using BIM allows project managers to gain better control over cost and time aspect of the project right from the conception. For instance, 4D BIM links all time and schedule related information to the 3D model so that any workflow errors can be detected and project timeline can be maintained. Likewise, in case of 5D BIM, cost can be connected to quantities so that any change in quantities is automatically updated in terms of cost. This way throughout the project the aspect of time and cost can be regulated and controlled.
6. #3 BIM FOR FACILITY MANAGEMENT
7. The work never ends with the construction of the infrastructure as the very structure needs to be thoroughly maintained because any mistakes or ignored problems could cause lot of money and resources, or in worst case it could have adverse repercussions. Using BIM could help in ensuring effective facility management and energy analysis for sustainability. BIM models that were used for construction can be updated to reflect the onsite changes and as-built models can be created. These as-built models provide all the information like the location of components, manufacturer’s details, serial numbers etc. So the facility managers have a handy database which they can refer to and quickly carry out their scheduled maintenance tasks, monitor for updates and make any repairs.
8. #4 SCAN TO BIM FOR RENOVATION
9. Existing infrastructure around world including roads, bridges, water treatment plants, damns etc. are in need of regular repair and renovation. It is quite risky and error prone to g o into renovation via more conventional methods. Scan to BIM Services provides the exact information about the infrastructure’s conditions so that it becomes possible and easier for engineers to properly plan and design the infrastructure project. A lot of times along with renovation the scope of project also involves extension of the same. Here, the engineers must get a holistic view of the entire existing network which includes electrical lines, wastewater pipelines, gas lines etc. so that there are no clashes between the proposed design and existing facilities. Finally, it also provides the more conventional BIM deliverables stated above ensuring that the project is completed with minimal errors and on time and budget.
