Session 1.3
Beyond standards – A case study of an end-to-end 3D CAD driven digital process on a major project in an industry where BIM standards, EiRs, BEPs or MIDPs do not exist.
Synopsis:
This case study explores how we successfully implemented digital models and BIM data across the entire project lifecycle on a major project.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn how to set objectives and deliver 4D planning on a major project as an Owner
2. Understand how to deliver 4D planning in an Integrated Project Team (IPT) delivery framework
3. Learn how to enagage field workers in the 4D planning process.
Body:
Using 2D CAD designs, drawings, and spreadsheets to develop cost, time, and resource estimates was commonplace in the mining industry less than a decade ago. However, the mining industry has rapidly adopted digital and data-based processes to estimate resources, develop designs, make business decisions, and in some cases, run remote and autonomous operations.
This case study explores how we delivered an end to the BIM-based digital process without relying on industry standards. We show technical examples and discuss the business case and the value that the customer gained. We also show examples of how decision-makers, engineers and onsite supervisors use information from our data-centric models.
We finish the session by showing how these concepts and processes can work on infrastructure projects by sharing examples of Proof of Concepts developed for large infrastructure clients.
