Infrastructure is following the same path, and ArcelorMittal Sheet Piling is confident that in a few years, all major projects involving steel sheet piles will be designed and managed in BIM.Ĭonsequently, our technical department started the implementation of BIM.
Overall, the total cost of a project should be reduced, even if it is only by a small percentage.īIM is definitely much more than an innovative 3D design concept, and one key aspect is interoperability between different software (design and management). The shift from conventional 2D design to BIM is a huge challenge, but after a first transition phase, the benefits are tangible: reduced design and execution time, better collaboration between the architects, engineers and contractors, less issues to be solved on the job-site, more relevant and reliable information transferred to the facility management, and so on. Some European authorities have gone a step ahead: BIM is compulsory in their projects. Many public authorities throughout the world, as well as major private investors, promote BIM, or even impose it in their tender documents. Every stakeholder involved in the design, execution and maintenance processes shall benefit from this new concept. At the same time, it is expected to simplify the management, and later the dismantling or rehabilitation of the building.
The building industry is bound to adopt BIM as the new revolutionary way to improve the construction processes, its reliability and collaboration during all the design and execution phases. ‘HZ-M/AZ’ (combined wall system) family for Revit 2018 available.
