A hybrid model for selecting location of mobile cranes in bridge construction projects

BIM and GIS Applications in Bridge Projects: A Critical Review

“…At the construction stage, Table 4 shows that research on the application of BIM/GIS technology has focused mainly on construction cost [3,7,10,29,30], scheduling [1,3,7,9,10] and visualizing the construction process on site [1,2,8,9,[31][32][33][34][35] and is not surprising, given that these are among the key issues that project managers will generally prioritize at the constructions stage of all projects, including bridges. However, the table also shows the use of BIM/GIS technology for other complex tasks at the construction stage, including coordination [9,11], optimizing constructability [21,69], and tracking GHG emissions [69].…”

“…IFC are used to exchange information; the implementation of asset management properties can facilitate a transition from document-based software to a combination of visual representation alongside the information that accompany every asset to form a basis for integration with GIS standards such as CityGML, and investigated to determine the level of information transferred between the BIM and GIS standards [20]. Managers explore more features of a bridge information model [21] at the asset management phase to aid efficient and informed decision making [22]. Information modeling is more than just a new technology-it is a new way of working [23] which has the power to totally transform the bridge industry.…”

“…Project participants used BIM technology to calculate the required earth filling [53,54], timely visualize of risk factors [8], select the best crane position through the visualization [21], minimize rework [7,10], track project schedule [1,3,7,9,10], and to finally reduce construction cost [3,7,10,29,30]. BIM can also generate as-built CAD drawings from as-built BIM models [2] and export them.…”

Overview of BIM application for bridge - highway and infrastructure projects in Viet Nam

“…BIM is widely becoming a competent tool in the construction industry and it's applied to the entire life cycle of buildings [8,9,[10][11][12]. BIM is not only just a geometrical representation of a building but also an intelligent virtual 3D model of the building as it contains all information about every component for its whole life cycle [13,14,15]. It improves the quality and accuracy of drawings, as well as constructability, and enhances collaborations [9,16].…”

“…BIM capabilities in project visual scheduling (4D) and automatic and detailed cost estimations (5D) made a revolution in the building process from the design stage. Application of BIM for infrastructure design and management of the project in scheduling, and procurement has been enhanced to reduce resource waste [14,31,44]. Level of development (LOD) and level of information (LOI) are the most important criteria in the design phase that can significantly influence project delivery and its quality [46].…”
