“…However, it should be noted that BIM application also has the cost of complexity and implementation, because BIM can add to the complexity of the work and staff in various projects need to learn about BIM [32][33][34][35][36][37]. This is consistent with the study by Fanning et al [38] and Liu et al [39]. To reduce carbon emission, low-carbon material can be used to construct the project [40].…”

A number of bridge infrastructures are rising significantly due to economic expansion and growing numbers of railway and road infrastructures. Owing to the complexity of bridge design, traditional design methods always create tedious and time-consuming construction processes. In recent years, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been developed rapidly to provide a faster solution to generate and process the integration of information in a shared environment. This paper aims to highlight an innovative 6D BIM approach for the lifecycle asset management of a bridge infrastructure by using Donggou Bridge as a case study. This paper adopts 6D modelling, incorporating 3D model information with time schedule, cost estimation, and carbon footprint analysis across the lifecycle of the bridge project. The results of this paper reveal that raw materials contribute the most embodied carbon emissions, and as the 6D BIM model was developed in the early stage of the lifecycle, stakeholders can collaborate within the BIM environment to enhance a more sustainable and cost-effective outcome in advance. This study also demonstrates the possibility of BIM applications to bridge infrastructure projects throughout the whole lifecycle. The 6D BIM can save time by transforming 2D information to 3D information and reducing errors during the pre-construction and construction stages through better visualisation for staff training. Moreover, 6D BIM can promote efficient asset and project management since it can be applied for various purposes simultaneously, such as sustainability, lifecycle asset management and maintenance, condition monitoring and real-time structural simulations. In addition, BIM can promote cooperation among working parties and improve visualisation of the project for various stakeholders.

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.

ABSTRACT:Geospatial data have a crucial role in several projects related to infrastructures and land management. GIS software are able to perform advanced geospatial analyses, but they lack several instruments and tools for parametric modelling typically available in BIM. At the same time, BIM software designed for buildings have limited tools to handle geospatial data. As things stand at the moment, BIM and GIS could appear as complementary solutions, notwithstanding research work is currently under development to ensure a better level of interoperability, especially at the scale of the building. On the other hand, the transition from the local (building) scale to the infrastructure (where geospatial data cannot be neglected) has already demonstrated that parametric modelling integrated with geoinformation is a powerful tool to simplify and speed up some phases of the design workflow. This paper reviews such mixed approaches with both simulated and real examples, demonstrating that integration is already a reality at specific scales, which are not dominated by "pure" GIS or BIM. The paper will also demonstrate that some traditional operations carried out with GIS software are also available in parametric modelling software for BIM, such as transformation between reference systems, DEM generation, feature extraction, and geospatial queries. A real case study is illustrated and discussed to show the advantage of a combined use of both technologies. BIM and GIS integration can generate greater usage of geospatial data in the AECOO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner and Operator) industry, as well as new solutions for parametric modelling with additional geoinformation.
