Road Towards Smarter Infrastructure

Spot the difference

Do more with a Model

What Can You Do With 2D Design?

Try to Interpret the Design

In this example the vertical section claims that attenuators are round and 3.5m Diameter, yet the horizontal section states they are square and 3.5m x 3.5m. Which one is correct?

In 2D, the CAD user has to work everything out. Others have to hope it’s correct

Manual take-off from drawings is prone to error & approximation Approximate the cost

• You have to redraw to

analyse a proposal.

• This ‘analysis model’ is

disconnected from the design; it’s not the same. Guess how it will perform

• Not everyone

understands what the drawing means.

• Sometimes you

need 3D to see how it will work for real Hope to Build it Correctly

Are drawings and documents really the best format to manage a project? Provide the operator with a problem when built

Do we see things the same in our traditional practices?

Do more with a Model

BIM for Infrastructure is about creating and using a 3D, intelligent model for planning, designing, building and managing infrastructure.

BIM for Infrastructure

Better understand and communicate project risk, intent, and options before project is built

Clarity

Maintain consistent data, context and processes across lifecycle

Continuity

Respond quickly to project changes – smarter and faster processes

Agility

Clarity

Clarity | Gain Support and Sell the Project to the

Public

Clarity | Anywhere, Anytime Access

Clearly communicate intent and demonstrate you have an unmatched understanding of the project

Clarity | Winning Work

Clarity in action | City of Fet Bridge Project

Continuity

Visualizations Multidiscipline Model Clash Detection/Coordination Geospatial Data Field Survey Reality Capture Civil Structural Documentation Automated Machine Guidance 4D Sequencing and Scheduling Estimation

Continuity | Consistent Model

Continuity | Preliminary Design to Detailed Design

Continuity | Improved Visibility into Constructability

Agility

• Reduced conflicts and changes
• Improved project quality
• Better predictability of project outcomes

Agility | Benefits

Agility | Smarter Designs

Agility | Faster Changes

Agility | Anytime, Anywhere Access

Great – so what about Geospatial Data?

Road Data Parcel data from

Data aggregation: Better Spatial Analysis

Flood Plain Zoning data Aerial photos

One Model for…

• Wetlands
• Flood plain information
• Soils
• Endangered Species
• Cultural
• Historic

and more…..

Big Data | Unlimited scale

Big Data | GIS, CAD, BIM… create in context

City of Edmonton

Deliver the correct design by phase Concept Design: Visualise and engage stakeholders

Deliver the correct design by phase Developed Design: Analysis of proposals

So where is it all going?

Technology Evolution

Drawing Board 2D CAD Dynamic 3D Modeling Next Gen BIM

Model- based Collaboration

Augmented Reality

Taking Immersive to the next level

CLARITY

• Unparalleled

ability to visualize and experience projects before they are built in order to better communicate design ideas.

CONTINUITY

• Models can be

continuously enhanced and used throughout the project

AGILITY

• Flexibility to

make design changes at any point in the project lifecycle without significant impacts to project
