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.
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.
Empresa de Desarrollo Urbano de MedellÃn (EDU) is a public-private urban development company geared towards improving living standards for local residents.This is made possible within sectors such as housing, through designs enabled by BIM. Out of a team of 150 members, 47 of EDU’s staff work regularly with BIM. As such, EDU are a project developer and management entity that centralizes and develops urban and architectonic projects.
The ABV project began in July 2016, using BIM to reverse-engineer the construction of 30 social housing units in La Rochelle and compare the process (from programming to production phase) to the original process, done without BIM.
CAPECO is the Peruvian Chamber of Construction, established in 1958 to represent companies and individuals working in the building industry. It promotes quality standards, safety and ethical construction practices to improve living conditions and increase competitiveness in international markets.
It offers news, information, support of innovative initiatives and a calendar of events at national and regional level. It is member of the Inter-American Federation of the Construction Industry (FIIC), which includes national chambers of the construction industry from 18 countries in Latin America.
CAPECO’s vision is to contribute to national economic development, stimulate public policies for strategic changes in the sector and generate value for its members through national and international representation, and provision of services.
In March 2021 it launched the first Construction Innovation Week to present the national path to digital transformation, the companies involved and demonstrate how it could accelerate technological innovation, generate new trends for residential living and forge crucial partnership with academic researchers to stimulate knowledge transfer.
Visit Red BIM de Gobiernos Latinoamericanos’ website
Red BIM de Gobiernos Latinoamericanos (Red BIM Gob Latam) is a network of representatives from the public sector in Latin American countries. Its members currently include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay.
Red BIM Gob Latam aims to increase the productivity of the Latin America’s construction industry through digital transformation, accelerating BIM implementation programmes through collaboration and knowledge sharing. The network diffuses and promotes common guidelines, commercial exchange and knowledge transfer across all countries with the support and financial backing of the Inter-American Development Bank.
You can view a Seminar on the progress of the implementation of BIM in the region on its YouTube channel, which was streamed in November 2020. Representatives of the Gob Latam BIM network introduced their national objectives and presented their BIM implementation strategies.
Hosted on the CDBB’s website, this massive open online training course (MOOC), launched in 2019, is presented in timed modules including reference materials and explanatory videos. It offers a guided pathway to a standards-based, public sector-led Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation and is aimed at policymakers and public clients involved with procuring, owning or operating built assets.
The modules provide an understanding of BIM and the strategic building blocks of its implementation, alongside other topics such as the importance of public leadership in the construction sector’s digital transformation and how digital transformation can create private and public sector benefits.
The MOOC is delivered in two ways:
- A self-study option for public sector stakeholders who cannot engage with CDBB’s international team.
- More interactive reference material that supports and supplements direct engagement with the CDBB’s International team and partner consultants.
Additional modules will be published over time.
