Implementation of BIM in infrastructure: the need to address it from the public sector = Implementación de BIM en infraestructura: la necesidad de abordarlo desde el sector público

Abstract

 The implementation of B u i l d i n g I n f o r m a t i o n Modeling and its use is beco ming muc h more popular and common throughout the world. BIM is being recognized as a technological tool, as a set of c o l l a b o r a t i v e a n d interdisciplinary processes and as a management methodology, which allows the project to maximize its value throughout its lifecycle.  La implementación de B u i l d i n g I n f o r m a t i o n Modeling y su uso se están volviendo cada vez más populares en todo el mundo. BIM está siendo reconocido como una herramienta tecnológica, como un conjunto de procesos c o l a b o r a t i v o s e interdisciplinarios y como una metodología de gestión, que permite al proyecto maximizar su valor a lo largo de su ciclo de vida.Implementación de BIM en infraestructura: la necesidad de abordarlo desde el sector públicoThe implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in infrastructure projects involves the private sector and the public sector. The participation of the first one is widely documented; however, the role of the second one has not been rigorously studied. Consequently, this paper raises the need to implement BIM in infrastructure projects in Colombia, demonstrating the importance of the government initiative, leadership and regulation. The role that the public sector must play is evidenced, both for acting as owner of the infrastructure projects and for the lessons learned from the leading and pioneer countries in BIM. It is established that the use of BIM is enhanced and accelerated from the moment that the public sector adopts a position to promote its implementation. Therefore, this article defines the different roles that the public sector can take to encourage the use of BIM. Likewise, it proposes a BIM governmental roadmap for Colombia that can be extrapolated to countries with an economy, an idiosyncrasy and a similar level of BIM implementation. Also serving as a starting point for the development of standards, strategies and programs that encourage the implementation of BIM at a national level.

Se evidencia la necesidad del rol que debe jugar el sector público, tanto por actuar como dueño de los proyectos de infraestructura, como por las lecciones aprendidas de los países líderes y pioneros en BIM. Se establece que el uso de BIM se potencializa y se agiliza desde el momento en que el sector público adopta una postura para promover su implementación.

BIM Visual Programming Tools Applications in Infrastructure Projects: A State-of-the-Art Review

“…This indicates that the private sector is considering the benefits of the infrastructure projects' automation through VP tools. This trend is essential to increase the VP tool applications because the presence of the private sector is most significant within the AECO project industry [126]. 4 indicates that no specific institutions lead the VP tool research in infrastructure because the institutions have each contributed one study.…”
