[BIM white paper] why? Infrastructure projects can achieve a qualitative leap with BIM Technology!

More and more civil infrastructure projects are adopting BIM. This technology has been put into the market for nearly ten years, and nearly 50% of new projects also use BIM to some extent. Contractors and other stakeholders will also benefit from the cautious switch to this new way of working by civil infrastructure owners and consultants who provide services to them.

What are the advantages of BIM for civil infrastructure over traditional practices? Roads: the BIM model makes it easier to calculate material quantities and estimate project costs. Even if the design changes, you only need to touch the button to complete the calculation and estimation successfully.

Bridge: the model-based design method is helpful for seamless testing of bridge design strength and performance using integrated analysis. BIM models can be expanded as construction progresses, helping to accelerate construction, deliver projects quickly, and minimize traffic and business disruption.

Water supply and sewerage networks: pipe and pipe placement tools in the BIM model can apply established design criteria, including pipe characteristics (e.g., size, thickness, material, etc.), ensure pipe alignment, and perform the design as planned.

Stormwater: BIM models enable you to model stormwater networks and entire watersheds, giving you the opportunity to analyze existing conditions and try and test different retention and infiltration options for today's prevailing green infrastructure. Airports and ports: these tightly controlled hub areas are increasingly using BIM to carry out project work and ensure business operation and maintenance. Why should I change? Give me a reason to use BIM!

Rationale 1: cost and time savings many customers expect to simplify processes and reuse work performed at different project stages, which drives them to make decisions to migrate to BIM, hoping to save a lot of time and cost with BIM.

Reason 2: strengthening the BIM model of project implementation can be used to improve the operation of different stakeholders, because the information can be extracted to promote daily work and ensure that all members have timely access to future information.

Rationale 3: value creation is not limited to design and construction

Reason 4: enhance advantages

Professionals around the world have chosen to migrate to infrastructure BIM solutions, on the one hand because of the evolving software environment, and on the other hand because major projects tend to impose requirements for its use. It is clearly pointed out that the model-based approach aims to save money and strengthen the responsibility system.

The advantages of infrastructure BIM solutions are reflected in projects and improved enterprise methods. BIM replaces past practices in a more simplified way and improves project coordination and value delivery. With so many companies discovering that BIM will become a differentiation advantage that can be extended to other fields, those companies that have not yet realized that BIM has become the general trend will find that the longer they are forced to wait, the more difficult it is to catch up with their competitors.
