Structural BIM Modeling with LOD 350, 4D Simulation, Quantity Take-off for Public Road Infrastructure

Slider 01

Brief Overview

The project involved the implementation of structural Building Information Modeling (BIM) techniques with a Level of Development (LOD) 350, 4D simulation, and quantity take-off for a public road infrastructure project in India. The aim was to create a comprehensive digital model that would facilitate efficient planning, coordination, and construction of the road.

Challenges/Requirements

Accurate Representation

The project required creating a detailed 3D BIM model that accurately represented the road infrastructure, including all structural elements and components.

LOD 350

The BIM model needed to achieve a Level of Development (LOD) 350, which means that the model had to be geometrically precise and contain information about the size, shape, location, and orientation of the elements.

4D Simulation

The project required the integration of a 4D simulation, which involved incorporating the element of time into the BIM model to visualize the construction process and identify potential clashes or scheduling conflicts.

Quantity Take-off

Accurate quantity take-offs were necessary to estimate the required materials and resources for the construction, enabling efficient cost estimation and resource planning.
Challenges Requirements

Deliverables

3D BIM Model

 A detailed and accurate 3D BIM model of the road infrastructure, including all structural components and elements, was developed.

LOD 350 Compliance

The BIM model achieved a Level of Development (LOD) 350, meeting the geometric precision and information requirements.

4D Simulation

The BIM model was integrated with a 4D simulation, allowing visualization of the construction process, identifying clashes, and optimizing the construction schedule.

Quantity Take-off

Accurate quantity take-offs were generated, providing insights into material requirements and facilitating efficient cost estimation and resource planning.

Outcomes / Benefits

Improved Planning and Coordination

The utilization of BIM techniques, including LOD 350 and 4D simulation, enhanced the planning and coordination of the road infrastructure project. It allowed stakeholders to visualize the construction process, identify potential clashes or conflicts, and optimize the project schedule.

Enhanced Cost Estimation

The quantity take-offs generated from the BIM model enabled accurate estimation of material requirements and resources, leading to improved cost estimation and budget management.

Efficient Resource Planning

The availability of detailed information in the BIM model facilitated efficient resource planning, ensuring the availability of necessary materials, equipment, and labor at each construction stage.

Reduced Rework and Errors

By identifying clashes and conflicts through 4D simulation, the project team could proactively address issues before construction, minimizing rework and reducing errors during the actual construction phase.

Increased Project Efficiency

Implementing BIM techniques increased project efficiency, streamlined construction processes, and improved overall project outcomes.
