BIM And Safety Planning

Using BIM to create safe and efficient sites

for workers and clients

Agenda

• Introductions

• Case Studies (questions welcome throughout)

• Final Q & A

• Additional Resources

Safety And BIM

Combining BIM and safety planning allows

Gilbane to: Reduce injuries and incidents

Improve safety and efficiency of project execution

Lessen impact on client operations

Inform all stakeholders

Plan and design out hazards and impacts

Prior Proper Planning Prevents Poor

Performance

Safety Program And BIM

Safety Execution requirements PPE, Fall Protection, JHA’s/STA’s, Competent Persons,

Crane Safety, and others: “the rules of the game”

Site logistics and utilization: “the field of play”

2-D ’Old School’ 3-D BIM

Site Logistics And Utilization Considerations

Construction Location of trailers

Site roads

Stairs

Muster points

Mock ups

Stockpiles

SWPPP

Fences/gates

Toilets

Break rooms

Wash out pits

Dumpster location

Structural erection

sequencing

Others

Site Logistics And Utilization Considerations

Owner Interface Access

School buses

Patient drop off

Deliveries

Waste haulers

Employee parking

Emergencies

Maintenance

Helicopters

BIM And Safety Planning

Allows you to “see”

and anticipate the

hazards

Provides for more

informed decisions

Case Studies: VCU School Of Medicine

Issues Tight, urban setting

Demolition and shoring

Maintain circulation by

patients and staff

Minimize disruption to

traffic

Case Studies: VCU School Of Medicine

Planning Met with pre-con team to identify key issues which we wanted

to develop a plan for and present to owner

Case Studies: VCU School Of Medicine

• Planning • Storyboarded our

approach as well as key

aspects of the plan

• fencing/scaffolding

• demolition sequence

• new circulation routes

Underground MEP Profile

Computational Fluid Dynamics

Show air flow for spaces requiring negative air

pressurization during construction to mitigate dust and

infection.

Laser Scanning

Benefits • Worker does not have to climb. • Greater accuracy limits returning to site for field verification. • Worker does not place themselves at risk in tight areas/lack of

tie-offs.

BIM And Safety Planning

Two approaches Utilize the model if available to formulate aspects of your

safety plan

Utilize the model to clearly communicate the approach

Presentation Objectives

We’ve seen how BIM can improve Site Utilization and

Logistics Planning

We will now discuss a case study in how BIM can improve
