GlobalCIOMinistry of Construction developing smart city concept and creating digital twins of largest settlements since 2022. Nukus and Tashkent first to be digitized. Digital twins allow collection, modeling, visualization, analysis and forecasting for effective decision-making in construction and housing services. BIM technologies (Building Information Modeling) identified as key trend allowing efficient planning, design, construction and operation through 3D modeling and comprehensive analysis. Volume of construction works end 2022: 6.7% GDP.
Ministry of Construction / Global CIO MagazineResearch analyzing remodelling of existing CAD documentation of Railway Station Šumice into BIM CDE and GIS environment. Evaluated effectiveness of remodelling existing railway as-built documentation for Railway Administration of Czech Republic. Addresses BIM data standard developed by State Fund for Transport Infrastructure. Conclusions show GIS environment (layer oriented) proved faster for remodelling compared to BIM CDE (object oriented) for railway structures with many special objects.
Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Civil EngineeringResearch on links between Level of Development (LOD) in BIM environment and project documentation stages within Czech Republic legislation. Uses experiences from CzBIM working group ‘WG#03: BIM & Realization’ and ‘Draft of unified data structure for BIM in Czech Republic’. Defines specific LOD of parameters connected to specific information and details requested by Czech legislation.
Czech BIM Council WG#03Research analyzing BIM data-driven workflows for Complex Building Quality Assessment (CBQA) using Czech national assessment method SBToolCZ. Case study of real pilot residential building project funded by Technology Agency of Czech Republic (TN01000056, NCK CAMEB Centre for Advanced Materials and Efficient Buildings). Presents experience and recommendations for setting up data model for automatic assessment using IFC data structure.
Czech Technical University Prague, Faculty of Civil EngineeringResearch on using BIM for tendering facility management service providers. Presents options available during tendering for company’s support service providers within BIM framework. Principle based on defining necessary content of BIM to enable smooth transition between implementation and operational phases. Model should contain information for selection process for FM service providers.
Czech Technical University Prague, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Department of Economic and ManagementInternational collaboration through Erasmus program for digital reconstruction of Vinohrady Synagogue in Prague (demolished 1951). Combined expertise from Viennese synagogue reconstructions (TU Vienna) with resource organization methodology (KU Leuven). Reconstruction using BIM software illustrates added value of BIM approach for complex geometry, integrating with 2D documents, visualizing reconstruction assumptions in 3D model.
