BIM4I

Traditionally, transportation infrastructure projects are designed and constructed by developing two-dimensional (2-D) plan sets to represent the design of the project that is built in the three-dimensional (3-D) real world.

Building Information Modeling for Infrastructure (BIM4I) refers to the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies to design, construct, and manage infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and utilities, essentially creating a detailed digital model that contains information about the entire infrastructure, allowing for better planning, collaboration, and decision-making across all project phases. Through this approach, the BIM4I Program is focused on transitioning to the use of digital 3-D BIM models during the design and construction phases of project delivery to improve the information about our infrastructure projects.  The information from these digital models can then be shared with maintenance and operations, asset management, planning, and other stakeholders to utilize the project asset lifecycle information for their needs in the management and performance of the infrastructure.
