“…BIM is now becoming more and more present in every construction project but most of the time models lack geometric/parametric data of the topographical surfaces [10] and also of the soil characteristics, which can be included and exchanged using IFC 4.3. Enhancing information management during the excavation phase can deliver many cost and time savings [11], as well as increasing the sustainability of this phase of the site by reducing CO2 emissions [12]. A novel workflow to integrate data coming from multiple sources within a reliable, BIM-based, digital terrain model is presented.…”

Earthworks are the very beginning of every new construction project, if not well designed and controlled, they may cause time and cost overruns and, overall affect the sustainability of the whole project. Industry 4.0 technologies like high-precision positioning GNSS/RTK and Building Information Modelling may help improving earthworks thus reducing waste, reworks, and energy demand. A novel workflow to integrate data coming from multiple sources within a reliable, BIM-based, digital terrain model is proposed. The proposed method allows professionals, as designers and managers, to receive updated and correct data, for better decision making and, thus, for more sustainable construction processes. Side benefits of the proposed process is an improvement in workers’ safety. A case study, a quarry in northern Italy, proved the usability of the method.
