BIM and Digital Engineering
![Page 11: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What BIM-Digital Engineering is depends on
who you are talking to.
BIM and Digital Engineering
![Page 12: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
If a wide search of the literature for BIM and ISO
Standards is made, and all the marketing fluff is ignored,
one quickly sees that almost universally the BI in BIM is
Building Information (where Building is a noun) and
although BIM is about the process, all the objects are for a
Building on a site.
The other constant is that the International Standard for
transferring BIM data is the vendor independent published
format of IFCs.
BIM
![Page 13: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In 2011 the BIM movement received a major boost when
the UK Government released the Government
Construction Strategy which aimed to reduce the cost of
government construction projects by 15-20% and BIM was
identified as one of the strategies to achieve help the
savings.
BIM
![Page 14: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Strategy contained an Action Plan that included the
objective for BIM to introduce a progressive programme of
mandated use of fully collaborative Building Information
Modelling for Government projects by 2016.
One early outcome of the Strategy was for
BuildingSMART to develop a national BIM standard with
the principles of interoperability. This will be key to future
delivery of Level 3 “Open & Shared” BIM.
BIM
![Page 15: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The move to ‘full’ collaborative working is via distinct and
recognisable milestones, in the form of ‘levels’. These
have been defined within a range from 0 to 3, and, whilst
there is some debate about the exact meaning of each
level, the broad concept is:
Level 0 – no collaboration
2D CAD drafting only. Output and distribution is via paper
or electronic prints, or a mixture of both.
BIM
![Page 16: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Level 1 – a mixture of 3D CAD for concept work, and 2D
for drafting of statutory approval documentation and
Production Information.
CAD standards are managed to BS 1192:2007, and
electronic sharing of data is carried out from a common
data environment (CDE), often managed by the
contractor.
There is no collaboration between different disciplines –
each publishes and maintains its own data.
BIM
![Page 17: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Level 2 – collaborative working – all parties use their own
3D CAD models.
Design information is shared through a common file
format, which enables any organisation to be able to
combine that data with their own in order to carry out
interrogative checks on it.
Hence any CAD software that each party used must be
capable of exporting to a common file format.
This is the method of working that has been set as a
minimum target by the UK government for all public-sector
work, by 2016.
BIM
![Page 18: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Level 3 – integrated working between all disciplines by
using a single, shared project model which is held in a
common data environment.
All parties can access and modify that same model,
removing the final layer of risk for conflicting information.
This is known as ‘Open BIM’, and the UK government’s
target date for public-sector working is 2018.
BuildingSMART is responsible for the Open BIM format
IFCs.

Woolgoolga to Glenugie
• First part of the 155 km of upgrade and new
highway from Woolgoolga to Ballina
Apart from Coffs Harbour and Raymond Terrace bypasses, completes the final stage of the 2000 km road from Brisbane-Sydney-Melbourne without a traffic light
• Arup – Parsons Brinckerhoff Joint Venture
• 35 Km highway, 5 Km access roads
• Had to produce BIM outputs as IFC 2x3 for everything including road and subsurface details all split into 100 m pieces
• NO SPATIAL STRUCTURE
• Different IFCs needed to go to Solibri, Navisworks or Revit
![Page 21: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Woolgoolga to Glenugie
• Three alignments in use
Left carriageway
Right carriageway
Reference alignment
• 100 m breakup was with respect to the Reference alignment which is not always perpendicular to either the left or right carriageway. That is, it can be skewed with respect to the left and/or right carriageway. The “100 m lengths” may not be 100m on either carriageway
• Trimeshes for pavements etc were oputput as ifcFace, ifcConnectedFaceSet
• Design and IFCs have been completed and delivered

So why are we discussing Digital Engineering
and BIM as some new fangled thing when
![Page 56: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
So why are we discussing Digital Engineering
and BIM as some new fangled thing when
• Surveyors have been using digital models ever since
data recorders were introduced over thirty years ago
• Construction surveyors have been using digital models
on major projects for over twenty years
• Cadastral surveyors are currently moving onto ePlan
![Page 57: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
So why are we discussing Digital Engineering
and BIM as some new fangled thing when
Because there are two sides to Digital Engineering/BIM:
• Surveyors have been using digital models ever since
data recorders were introduced over thirty years ago
• Construction surveyors have been using digital models
on major projects for over twenty years
• Cadastral surveyors are currently moving onto ePlan
![Page 58: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
So why are we discussing Digital Engineering
and BIM as some new fangled thing when
Because there are two sides to Digital Engineering/BIM:
• Vertical BIM – Architects, Structures
At a BIM presentation in Sydney last year it was stated that 70% of people on a building site don’t even use a plan
• Horizontal BIM – Civil BIM - Roads, Rail
• Surveyors have been using digital models ever since
data recorders were introduced over thirty years ago
• Construction surveyors have been using digital models
on major projects for over twenty years
• Cadastral surveyors are currently moving onto ePlan
![Page 59: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The Positives of Architect BIM
• BIM introduced Architects to 3D
• BIM introduced 3D objects (trimeshes) to Civil
• BIM introduced to main stream the concept of having data
and attributes instead of drawings
![Page 60: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
The Positives of Architect BIM
• BIM introduced Architects to 3D
• BIM introduced 3D objects (trimeshes) to Civil
• BIM introduced to main stream the concept of having data
and attributes instead of drawings
And do not underestimate to importance of the realisation that a
3D digital model must be the source of truth instead of drawings.
Even through Civil has produced these fantastic examples of
using Digital Engineering, it is entirely through the back door and
even today all that is often handed out is thousands of useless
CAD drawings.

Changing Thinking and Processes
Not much has changed
CAD sped up the process slightly but it is still mainly manual and time consuming and the biggest bottleneck and source of errors

The Downside of Architects BIM
![Page 65: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
The new BIM Managers thought that:
The Downside of Architects BIM
• 3D was a brand new idea and no one else had heard of it
• Architect BIM can be applied to everything in the world
• The world is flat
• And for many of them, the world has a 20 Km diameter
![Page 66: SSSI Seminar Digital Engineering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/61d27d20737ba115ff331c29/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
• Unfortunately the world is not flat
• Unfortunately the world is bigger than a 20 Km diameter
• Unfortunately a road can change every millimetre
• Unfortunately moving beyond flat space requires the use of map
projections and map and combined scale factors
• Unfortunately for most Civil works, a definition of an Alignment is
essential

A Civil Digital Engineering System Needs
• Large coordinates – e.g. Eastings and Northings
• Handle large and long horizontal projects
• A Helix for arcs
• Strings with diameters and attributes on strings, vertices and segments
• Transitions – spirals, cubic parabolas etc (varying radius helix)
• Drainage/Sewer pits and pipes
• Tins for surfaces (hundreds of millions of points) and trimeshes for 3D objects
• Alignments – independent horizontal and vertical geometry; vertical defined in
terms of 2D distance (chainage) of HG
• Name/Code for strings – used in Australia at least since 1980
• A published format available free of charge to everyone
• People who understand all of the above plus longitude and latitude, heights,
coordinate systems, map projections, and how to bringing together disparate
data

However as you saw in the earlier examples

However as you saw in the earlier examples
surveyors in Australia have been doing
Digital Engineering for years

Finally the rest of the world is catching on
