Introduction
Definition of BIM
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process and technology used in the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries to create and manage digital representations of built assets’ physical and functional attributes. BIM is the creation and management of digital representations of buildings, infrastructure, and utilities during their entire lifecycle, from original planning and design to construction, operation, and maintenance.
Importance of BIM in transportation projects
Building Information Modeling (BIM) plays a crucial role in transportation projects, offering numerous benefits that contribute to improved project outcomes, cost savings, and enhanced efficiency throughout the project lifecycle. Here are some key reasons why BIM is important in transportation projects:
- Enhanced Collaboration
- Improved Design Accuracy
- Clash Detection and Coordination
- Visualization and simulation
- Cost estimation and planning
- Asset Management and Maintenance
- Sustainability and resilience
