Building Information Modelling (BIM)

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is BIM?

Building Information Modelling, also known as BIM, is a model-based technique and procedure for creating and managing information on construction and infrastructure projects.  While the basis of BIM dates back to the 1970’s, nowadays it can be described as a digital representation of both physical and functional characteristics of a facility, to be used as a shared knowledge resource which forms a reliable basis for the decision-making process. More than just “fancy 3D”, the model drives greater collaboration on projects by equipping architects, engineers, and construction professionals with the tools they need to plan, design, build, and manage structures and infrastructure.

Applicable to small and large projects, BIM has been successfully used in Australia in a number of recent projects, including;

  • Royal Adelaide Hospital Project;
  • Moorebank Intermodal Terminal Project;
  • Barangaroo development, including Wynyard Walk;
  • North West Rail Link;
  • Southern Freight Link; Figure 1: BIM and its participants
  • Regional Rail Link Victoria;
  • South West Rail Link;
  • Auburn Stabling Yard;
  • New Generation Rolling Stock Stabling, Ipswich;
  • Sydney CBD light rail early works;
  • Perth Children’s Hospital;
  • Perth Stadium; and
  • Perth Museum.

At ICI Australia, we are excited to introduce Building Information Modelling (BIM) for Civil Construction Managers as a new course to our Learning Program.

This 4 hour live online course aims to give business owners and their senior people in small and medium civil contractors information so that they can start to prepare for the upcoming digital revolution.

Key topics include:

  • BIM Awareness
  • BIM level of implementation in the Australia marketplace
  • Why is BIM relevant to Civil Contractors
  • Overview of how to implement BIM within a Civil organisation.

Please check out more information here to book your spot for our next course on Building Information Modelling (BIM), or get in touch with any questions.
