BIM for Infrastructure Road Towards Smarter Infrastructure Neil Brooker Technical Manager, Autodesk, MEA

Spot the difference

Do more with a Model

What Can You Do With 2D Design?

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

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

Guess how it will perform  You have to redraw to analyse a proposal.  This ‘analysis model’ is disconnected from the design; it’s not the same.

Hope to Build it Correctly  Not everyone understands what the drawing means.  Sometimes you need 3D to see how it will work for real

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

Do we see things the same in our traditional practices?

Do more with a Model

BIM for Infrastructure BIM for Infrastructure is about creating and using a 3D, intelligent model for planning, designing, building and managing infrastructure . Agility Clarity Continuity Respond quickly to Better understand and Maintain consistent data, project changes – communicate project risk, context and processes across smarter and faster intent, and options lifecycle processes before project is built

Clarity

Clarity | Gain Support and Sell the Project to the Public

Clarity | Anywhere, Anytime Access

Clarity | Winning Work Clearly communicate intent and demonstrate you have an unmatched understanding of the project

Clarity in action | City of Fet Bridge Project

Continuity

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

Continuity | Preliminary Design to Detailed Design

Continuity | Improved Visibility into Constructability

Agility

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

Agility | Smarter Designs

Agility | Faster Changes

Agility | Anytime, Anywhere Access

Great – so what about Geospatial Data?

Data aggregation: Better Spatial Analysis One Model for… • Wetlands • Flood plain information • Soils • Endangered Species • Cultural • Historic and more….. Parcel data from Zoning data Road Data Flood Plain Aerial photos

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

Model- based Collaboration

Augmented Reality

Taking Immersive to the next level

BIM for Infrastructure CLARITY CONTINUITY AGILITY • Unparalleled • Models can be • Flexibility to ability to continuously make design visualize and enhanced and changes at experience used any point in projects before throughout the the project they are built project lifecycle in order to without better significant communicate impacts to design ideas. project
