Abstract
Cost overrun and time delays in water industry construction projects persuade the authorities to improve the project management approach by adopting building information modeling (BIM). However, BIM is new in the water industry and, with the many aspects and extensive details involved, its successful implementation requires an effective strategic plan. To address this need, in this project a customized BIM strategic plan development method is proposed and followed for the water industry projects in Iran. As a result, two 5-year implementation phases are proposed and specifications of the required infrastructures are outlined. The first phase targets the implementation of BIM maturity level one in pilot projects and BIM maturity level two becomes mandatory at the end of phase two. To the best of the authors' knowledge, for the first time, a systematic method for the BIM strategic plan development in an industry, with multiple organizations involved, is proposed in this research. The two types of BIM committees introduced and utilized in this research can inspire other BIM strategic plan development efforts for large industries, e.g. transportation industry, the electric power industry, and the oil and gas industry, with multiple organizations in charge and different types of construction projects implemented.
期刊介绍:
The objectives of Scientia Iranica are two-fold. The first is to provide a forum for the presentation of original works by scientists and engineers from around the world. The second is to open an effective channel to enhance the level of communication between scientists and engineers and the exchange of state-of-the-art research and ideas.
The scope of the journal is broad and multidisciplinary in technical sciences and engineering. It encompasses theoretical and experimental research. Specific areas include but not limited to chemistry, chemical engineering, civil engineering, control and computer engineering, electrical engineering, material, manufacturing and industrial management, mathematics, mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, petroleum engineering, physics, nanotechnology.
