CEO
Dr Lee Gregory is co-founder of 12d Solutions, the developers of Australia and New Zealand’s most widely used Surveying and Civil Design software, 12d Model, and the Data Management and Project Collaboration tool, 12d Synergy.
For over 35 years, Lee has been at the forefront of the technical computing industry, starting in the 80’s with Cloud based engineering software as a service through to overseeing the thirty years of development of 12d Model and more recently, the development of 12d Synergy.
During that time, Dr Gregory has been a strong proponent of Open Data, Civil BIM and Digital Engineering. Dr Gregory attends the six monthly buildingSMART International ifc Summits, and in particular the Infrastructure Room which is responsible for defining the Civil ifcs for alignments, roads, railways and bridges.

BILT ANZ 2020 | IFC 5 – The New OpenBIM Standard for Civil Infrastructure WorksLee Gregory, 12d SolutionsPre-Design, Design, ConstructionBILTInfrastructure, Interoperability/OpenBIM/ CollaborationOpen Source, Other Vendor
Synopsis:
Applying buildings BIM to civil projects can lead to disasters.
So to cater for civil works, buildingSMART International has worked with industry and domain experts to extend the current IFC Standard to cover civil areas including Roads, Rail, Bridges, Tunnels, Airports, Ports and Harbours, and Construction.
These extensions are scheduled to be released as IFC5 during 2020.
This talk is for non-infrastructure experts and covers the fundamental civil concepts used in IFC5.Lee Gregory, 12d SolutionsPre-Design, Design, ConstructionBILTInfrastructureOpen Source, Other VendorSynopsis: Applying buildings BIM to civil projects can lead to disasters.

This talk is for non-infrastructure experts and covers the fundamental civil concepts used in IFC5.Learning Objectives: 1. Learn about the new IFC version 5
2. Be exposed to the fundamental Civil concepts for road, rail and tunnel projects
3. Understand the differences betsween Vertical BIM and Civil (Horizontal) BIMBody: Initially, Building Information Modelling (BIM) and the Open BIM Industry Foundation Classes (IFCs) were used for buildings, where building is a noun and not a verb. That is, it was for buildings and other structures on a site. This is often referred to as vertical BIM and was the basis for the ifc standards up to and including ifc 2×3 and ifc 4.
When attempting to use these ifcs and BIM on large infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, tunnels, drainage networks, and pipelines, it was realised that the vertical BIM ideas were inadequate for the task. This was particularly apparent when dealing with projects for wider precincts or even entire cities for uses such as Digital Twins.
By their very nature such civil infrastructure objects span much larger distances than a building site, use map coordinates rather than local (engineering) coordinates, and alignments and linear referencing for positioning rather than a local grid. To differentiate this type of BIM, it is referred to as Civil, linear, longitudinal or horizontal BIM.
To address the differences between horizontal and vertical BIM, buildingSMART International, the open, neutral and not-for-profit organization who are the developers of the IFC standard, set up an Infrastructure group to examine the differences and solve any problems.
Over time this evolved into a number of specialty groups involving International domain experts and industry for each of Roads, Railways, Bridges and Tunnels. Lately groups for Airports and Ports and Harbours, and Construction have also been established to cover even more civil areas in finer detail.
These groups have been working on extensions to the current IFC standards, starting with common definitions that apply to all areas, and then more specialised IFC extensions for each specific domain.
These all come together in IFC version 5 which is schedules for release in 2020.This talk is for non-infrastructure experts and will cover the fundamental concepts needed and used in the Civil and horizontal BIM extensions that are used in the new International Open BIM Standard, IFC 5, that has been developed for use in Civil projects.
