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.

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.

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.
