Summary

The new Slovenian Construction Act introduces the obligation of a BIM design for all publicly funded projects of public interest. This poses a particular challenge for civil infrastructure designers, as BIM design requires specialist knowledge and appropriate software. At CGS Labs, we are developing new methods and approaches for 3D BIM modelling of road and rail corridors, which results in software that eases the time-consuming and complex work for designers. The paper describes the theoretical basis and practical approach of BIM modelling for different project design approaches. The development of these methods is supported by the knowledge and experience gained by the authors of the paper in their long-standing work in the field of digitisation of the built environment.

New methods of 3D BIM modelling of road and railway infrastructure

Abstract

The new construction law brings an obligation to implement BIM planning in all projects of public importance that are financed from public funds. This poses a great challenge especially to civil infrastructure designers, as BIM planning requires specialist knowledge and appropriate software. At CGS Labs, we are developing new methods and approaches for 3D BIM modelling of road and railway corridors, which will result in software that will facilitate the time-consuming and complex work of designers. The paper describes the theoretical foundations and practical approach to BIM modelling for various characteristic types of projects. The development of these methods is supported by the knowledge and experience that the authors of the article have gained in their many years of work in the field of digitization of the built environment.
