The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
For the municipal wastewater sewerage system project in the Prlekija region, specifically in the area of the Podgorci settlement, a 3D BIM model was created using the Autodesk software tool, Urbano Canalis. The definition of a key for naming each file that would appear on the portal proved to be very important, as this is the only way to ensure complete control over the information and activities of the participants. In the ** Navisworks Manage** programme, the quality of the created 3D BIM models was verified, which included a review of the information (attributes) of individual components that had been determined in advance in the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) in attribute tables.
Solution and Method
For the municipal wastewater sewerage system project in the Prlekija region, specifically in the area of the Podgorci settlement, a 3D BIM model was created using the Autodesk software tool, Urbano Canalis. The subject of the project is a gravity-pressure municipal sewerage system with pumping stations, which is located along local and municipal roads or in the area of planned pavements, which are part of another project. In parallel with the construction of the sewerage system, the renovation of the existing water supply system is planned (not the subject of this project).
The aim of creating the 3D BIM model was to demonstrate the appropriateness of using the BIM approach on an infrastructure project. In the field of infrastructure, each project is unique, as linear structures, compared to building construction, are in greater interaction with the terrain and other existing built structures. For this reason, a transparent and traceable approach to project management is all the more important, which is precisely what ** building information modelling** enables.
The reasons for and purpose of introducing the BIM approach in the construction project were presented in the theoretical part of the diploma thesis, where a comparison was made between the traditional approach and the BIM approach. For the successful introduction of the BIM approach into a project, it is necessary to know the key steps and documents that define the implementation of the project in a BIM environment. A large part of the attention was devoted to the area of collaboration between process participants and the management of large amounts of information in a transparent and traceable manner.
They then proceeded to describe the software tools that enable the creation and analysis of BIM models, and described in detail the usability of the Urbano, Canalis software tool from the creation of input data, the creation of the system, the review of properties contained in each 3D element, and the possibilities of exporting data to output formats. The aim of creating the 3D BIM model was to coordinate the design solutions of different project participants. They focused on the use of a common data environment – a project portal in the cloud, to which participants had access at any time and place.
Results
The definition of a key for naming each file that would appear on the portal proved to be very important, as this is the only way to ensure complete control over the information and activities of the participants. In the Navisworks Manage programme, the quality of the created 3D BIM models was verified, which included a review of the information (attributes) of individual components that had been determined in advance in the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) in attribute tables. An analysis of any unauthorised crossings of drainage models, road models and water supply models was carried out, thereby ensuring the coordination of solutions.
