Course information
General information
This course introduces Building Information Modeling/Management (BIM) as a methodology to create virtual (2/3/4/5D) models of infrastructure works, where objects, properties, relationships, schedule and costs are (can be) linked. Key aspects of BIM are introduced and discussed in greater depth for the specific infrastructure sector:
- Definition of BIM and the essential tools to work with BIM
- Use of the Object Type Library (OTL) and exchange of data in OTL-compliant formats
- Standard documents that serve as the basis for BIM projects
- The relationship between BIM and international standards such as ISO, WTCB and SB250
- Demonstrations of the use of software packages for BIM modeling, BIM360 and clash detection
- Uploading BIM models through the AWV DAVIE data portal (Data Acceptance Validation and Information Extraction application) to determine cost items and progress statements of infrastructure objects
- Illustration of the benefits and capabilities of BIM using actual project examples
The course consists of six two-hour lectures spread over three days. In addition to the lectures, two hours daily is reserved for class discussions and practical application of the concepts learned. All students should bring their own laptops to actively participate in the practical applications and assignments throughout the course.
Following the lectures and exercises, students will have the opportunity to work individually on a practical case for two weeks. Two online consultation moments are organized to support the trainees in their individual projects. The course will conclude with a final day where the trainees will have the opportunity to present their individual cases to each other.
Teaching methodology
The course consists of both lectures and computer-based exercises. Students should bring their own laptop for this purpose.
Learning outcomes
- The learner can apply the principles of the BIM process within the infrastructure sector, for example by implementing the principles in a case. The trainee has gathered knowledge and skills regarding a CDE, BIM software, the OTL.
- The learner can apply the norms, standards, source material of the different BIM objects and link with each other, e.g. SB250 and the OTL.
- The learner can identify, check and optimize the different structural elements of a BIM model (infrastructure and building structure) and apply concepts such as a clash detection, item linking, etc....
- The learner can look up and optimize various architectural details of an infrastructure and construction work in a BIM environment, e.g. analyze a specific part of a BIM model, name it via OTL classification and deliver it in a model.
- The trainee can analyze and report specific processes and properties based on a BIM model, for example through a cost statement.
Practical information
Target audience
Construction engineers or other technical profiles who come into contact with managing (road) infrastructure will start, supervise and/or execute the BIM implementation process.
The training focuses more on managing BIM (mostly BIM Managers) within a company and/or consortium and less on modeling itself.
