From BIM to life cycle information management in infrastructure

Abstract

In principle, Building Information Modelling (BIM) should provide a basis for infrastructure information management during the whole life-cycle. In practice however, the use of BIM is normally limited to the design and construction phases. It seems that the use of BIM information in other life-cycle stages requires significant changes in the way BIM models are developed. In order to explore this issue, three different approaches for integration of BIM and life cycle information management are discussed, illustrated by three projects: London Crossrail, the EU-project V-Con and an experimental project at Volker.
