4 ADVANTAGES OF BIM IN LINEAR ROAD WORKS

Apply BIM modeling to the construction and rehabilitation of road works from the project phase to construction and commissioning

 

 

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a powerful tool that enables users to compile and manage information about every aspect of a project. It has gained significant traction in recent years, particularly in architectural works. At Parma Ingeniería, we have been utilizing BIM for some time now, both during the project drafting phase and in the management of several of our road contracts.

 

The main advantages of BIM (Building Information Modeling) include:

  • Enhanced Collaboration: BIM promotes collaboration among all parties involved in a project, including owners, designers, construction management teams, and construction companies. This integrated approach fosters better communication and coordination.
  • 3D Visualization: Users can easily visualize the model in 3D throughout all phases of the project, from the initial design to the final constructed state. This visualization aids in understanding complex designs and facilitates stakeholder engagement.
  • Sustainability Promotion: BIM supports sustainability efforts by enabling the calculation of carbon footprints and conducting various environmental analyses at different project stages. This helps in making informed decisions that minimize environmental impact.
  • Accessibility of Information: All project information is readily available at any time and from anywhere, as we work in the cloud. This accessibility ensures that team members can stay updated and make timely decisions.

At Parma Ingeniería, we have successfully implemented the BIM methodology within our company, completing the drafting of 9 projects for the Generalitat of Catalonia and Infrastructures.cat. Additionally, we have participated in the execution of 9 contracts for the construction and rehabilitation of linear works, serving either as construction management or technical assistance. In all these cases, BIM modeling has provided significant improvements in project outcomes.
