Overview

Gain an understanding of how BIM enables a collaborative way of working using digital processes to enable more productive methods of operating and maintaining assets through their lifecycle.

About the event

Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Tunnelling is the digital representation of physical infrastructure and functional characteristics. BIM serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about an asset throughout its lifecycle. Information modelling in tunnelling includes supporting decision making and encompasses strategic appraisal and planning. Modelling supports design, construction to operation, maintenance and renewal. Information modelling systems allow us to deliver quality engineering to owners and contractors. The process requires skills, tools, and robust procedures. For the entire tunnelling community to take advantage of this, it is of paramount importance to share, educate and implement experiences, standards and guidelines, which are driven by the build industry.

This presentation will provide insights into:

• Best practice in international and domestic applications, cross-disciplinary initiatives, and future thinking where digitalisation in underground tunnelling and the future
• Understanding of how BIM enables a collaborative way of working
• Productive methods of planning, designing and constructing
• Operating and maintaining assets through their lifecycle
