With Building Information Modeling' place as an essential data-centralising project management tool assured well into the future, Ian looks at what further data levels are going to be added to make BIM even more comprehensive project-wide. He takes a look at
8D, safety in construction, 9D, lean construction and 10D, construction industrialisation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- 8D is all about Health and Safety on the construction site. Not only does this cover safety on site but how the building can be maintained safely. Using BIM the Operations Manager has immediate access to all technical information to locate fixes for technical problems, predict safety issues with materials and functions and create virtual training material for personnel.
- 9D is about building in the most efficient way possible to minimise incidents of waste and increase sustainability. Using BIM, repetitive processes can be identified and decreased via exact management of quantity of materials. This aids in site overcrowding, improper storage and material damage.
- 10D construction industrialisation. This adds offsite manufacture and modular units into the construction.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It gives the ability to predict risks during the construction process and can identify activities to be implemented to improve safety at work and prevent accidents.’
‘So therefore there is a sustainability element to this as well. By constantly monitoring these resources, strategies can be created to effectively convert what would be waste material fragments or odd pieces into something that adds value to the whole.’
‘The advantages of 10D for the project manager are a reduction in construction time for building envelopes, optimisation of site costs, enhancement and implementation of occupational safety, increased construction quality thanks to next generation digital infrastructure and also offsite construction.’
