Next Generation BIM
Sriram Sridharan, COO, Ineight
Today’s BIM solutions offer users an ability to view a three dimensional simulation of the stages of work and/or progress proposed to take place over the course of the project. These simulations are primarily leveraged during the pre-construction phase of a project. The simulation combines schedule data to design plans resulting in what is referred to as a 4D BIM solution. When a software expert designs the model to additionally reflect project costs within the proposed project, this is referred to as 5D BIM.

Delivering operational efficiency in the new dawn of complex BIM data through...p6academy
Referenced: www.p6academy.com
Source: http://coll15.mapyourshow.com
There is a part of the engineering & construction lifecycle where huge amounts of inefficiency exists. Project documents are numerous and with the changes in the industry towards 3D BIM, stakeholders involved in the review process need more sophisticated tools and applications to work with this complex information. Documents that define buildings, infrastructure and assets are not only growing in complexity but also in physical size. In order to deal with the processing of the variety and complexity of data, organizations need to rethink what tools and applications will be needed to enable the efficient and integrated processes demanded by projects. Oracle AutoVue brings a unique set of capabilities that supports the variety of application formats, helping companies involved in the engineering construction lifecycle to deliver operational efficiencies that are integrated to the Primavera solutions. We explore the use of deep integration to Unifier BP’s, working in conjunction with drawings and Building Information Models enabling all stakeholders to view and digitally collaborate on project documents in the appropriate business context.
Something to consider, when you want to have information flow from design -> construction -> FM.
This is what we do in Granlund.

How can you minimize the amount of paper documentation managed on projects? Thankfully, software such as Primavera Contract Management and Unifier by Oracle with integration to AutoVue can help. Share CH2M HILL’s journey to delivering paperless document control. The Engineering and Construction (E&C) industry is drowning under its own weight in paper, yet conversely driving forward with the adoption of Building Information Modelling. Each project uses hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands or more documents throughout its lifecycle (i.e. Bidding, Construction Execution > Hand-over). There are few other industries generating so many documents that need to be shared, reviewed, edited and approved by numerous stake-holders. These processes are full of inefficiency and often disconnected from the very systems that are supposed to control and record change.

as a modelling tool
for the Design &
Engineering teams
Until now, it has not
allowed all project
participants to
access and enrich
the model

Neutrality and Audits
The Client doesn’t want to use multiple contractors’ systems:
I have my own
internal system.
I don’t want to
change I need handover
to be easy and in
my system I need the history:
what was built, but
also why & how it
was built this way

Neutrality and Audits
The contractors, EPCs, PM’s or Lead Engineers do not want
to use the Client’s internal system
:
I have my internal
system and want client
to use my system
I need a system for my
internal processes
I need to interact with
consultants,
subcontractors and
vendors

Neutrality and Audits
Observation from +100 Mega projects last 4 years
When the Client owns or installs a project-wide system:
• Benefits to Contractors and Engineers are limited
• Mistrust and uncertainty: can the Client edit data?
• Contractors are reluctant to use the system
• Data will not be captured and indexed
Mega Projects using neutral Collaboration Platforms see faster
workflow processes, reviews, approvals and more complete records
Result: slower
processing &
incomplete
records

Dubai Metro
Challenges
Strategic, complex, high-visibility project. Large project team dispersed across
Dubai, Japan, Italy, Thailand, Australia, and Hong Kong.
Requirement for immediate transmission of documents and communications
Need for scalability to high volumes of project data.
.
Solutions
Secure collaboration platform for project information and process management.
Efficient communications between participants with a permanent audit trail.
Management of drawings and documents, with version control.
Results
Close coordination between multiple teams – civil, structural and rail systems.
4,500 participants collaborating globally during the design and build phases.
7 million letters/doc/drawings/models managed and stored securely. >9 Tb
Less rework and changes. Disputes resolved quickly due to transparency
“Aconex provides an efficient process for communicating between teams.”

Program background
Across eight Denver-area counties, a system of trains, buses and
transit facilities with more than 40 projects in the program
RTD FasTracks, +$5 Billion program
− 122 miles of new commuter rail and light rail
− 18 miles of bus rapid transit service
− New commuter rail maintenance depot
− 31 new Park-n-Ride stations with 21,000 new parking spaces
Historic Union Station renovation to become a multimodal hub serving
commuter rail, light rail, buses, and taxis
20. CONFIDENTIAL | 20
Challenges
File Retention – For the life of each project, plus 7 years. Maintaining paper
copies for RTD for each project is very costly and paper copies are lost
Complex Funding – From of public and private sources. Contracts decision
records must be kept current and made available for 7 years after completion
Different Contract Types – Some are PPP others design-build, which require
different data ownership, responsibilities and workflow guidelines
Bottlenecks and Duplicate Efforts – RTD was planning to collect data from
an internal DMS and from all contractors, then re-transmit to appropriate
parties. This created heavy workloads for DCs and affected project schedules.
Different Practices/Repositories : Each contractor on every project shared
data with RTD differently, forcing RTD to adopt separate processes
21. CONFIDENTIAL | 21
The technology selected by RTD
Neutral Collaboration Platform– for all internal and external data and
exchange of information across all projects and participants
– A Neutral and Secure Online Platform for each Project Team
– Complete Project Record that cant be deleted or altered
– Unlimited Users, Document Storage and Distribution Capacity
– Google-like Document Search Functionality
Other complementary systems used
− Primavera P6
− Revit and Microstation (Bentley) for modelling
− Various cost/budget tools
