Special strategy, guidance and standards for transport infrastructure organizations (highways, railways), related to the main Czech’s national BIM strategy.
The Government’s BIM Strategy was published in September 2017 to stimulate the public sector and to support the digital transformation and growth of the construction sector. It was prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, working closely with Czech BIM Council experts. Within the Strategy, a key element for reducing costs, cutting waste and avoiding errors is the adoption of the Building Information Management (BIM), which makes the most of digital technologies to provide a consistent flow of information and measurable standards at all stages of the construction life cycle, including asset and facility management.
Digital Czechia is a set of concepts and implementation plans ensuring the preconditions for the long-term prosperity of the Czech Republic in the environment of the ongoing digital revolution. Its content can be defined as “Strategy of coordinated and comprehensive digitization of the Czech Republic 2018+”.
This website, updated on a quarterly basis, offers presentations of public sector’s pilot projects in the Czech Republic.
In 2020, the Tri An Extended Hydropower Plant Project agreed to implement BIM technology to its operations, upon being chosen as a BIM pilot project with the UK Global Infrastructure Programme. The project is intended to prove the effectiveness of BIM, which is expected to be widely implemented throughout the largest power company in the country, Vietnam Electricity.
A Smart Object Library provides a bank of CAD objects that are developed in such a way as to enhance connectivity between different datastores for regularly used asset types. The library is a database of frequently used asset types (smart objects) in template form, which allows for the development of 3D models of new or existing assets with relative ease and minimal data input. It also allows for easier sharing of data with third parties.
These modules from the Environment Agency’s BIM e-learning cover the key concepts, benefits and purposes of BIM – from procurement to delivery and stage end.
Watch: Digital Asset Data and Information at the Environment Agency
The Environment Agency as a client is investing in change called Creating Asset Management Capacity (CAMC). The element within this – known as Digital Asset Data Information (DADI) – is a digital programme of work with a whole life focus on how the Environment Agency as an owner operator will digitally create, maintain and operate its asset estate in the future. This video provides an overview of some of the activity that is and will be undertaken.
DADI aims to ensure the Environment Agency can access data regardless of sources or devices, by procuring only the necessary information. A central data repository will be created, which can automatically import information from external sources. DADI will also digitise engineering standards by integrating 3D models.

Construction ITM is an industry transformation roadmap envisioning integrated sectors through widespread digital adoption, to spur business opportunities.
The roadmap focusses on three key areas:
- Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DfMA)
- Green Buildings
- Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD).
Integrated Digital Delivery
One of the key areas identified under the Construction ITM is to transform the sector through Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD). Enabled by BIM, IDD aims to fully integrate processes and stakeholders along the value chain through advanced info-communications technology and smart technologies.
JTC CleanTech Two (CT2B) @ CleanTech Park
JTC CleanTech Two (CT2B) is a state-of-the-art tech park configured to support research, as well as testing and developing activities, while housing cleantech incubation facilities. CT2B’s process was facilitated by a ‘4-stage digitalised’ approach through Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) geared towards design and construction.
Tuas Port
The upcoming Tuas Port will be developed in four phases, with the first phase slated to start in 2021. Tuas Port has adopted an IDD approach, working with advanced info-communication technologies and smart technologies to keep stakeholders aligned with processes throughout all phases of port operations through one source.
