The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) highlights the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the lifecycle management of bridges and structures, focusing on collaboration and data integration. The adoption of BIM in bridge projects is growing, with industry standards like Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) enhancing digital project delivery. Bridge owners recognise its benefits, including cost and time reductions across planning, construction, and maintenance, as well as improved return on investment in infrastructure.
