Application of BIM technology in linear construction projects

Adoption of BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology in AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry and organisations in past few years has already outgrown to the phase of implementation especially in building and other more or less large-scale projects all around the world. With BIM project teams can use 3D digital models to collaborate, have consistent and more accurate project data regardless how many times the design changes, or who changes it among engineers, architects or building and infrastructure owners. These projects should be sustainable, faster completed and more economical. The boost for implementation in Europe has begun in 2014 after the European Parliament made a decision to modernize European public procurement rules by recommending the use of electronic tools like BIM. The European Union Public Procurement Directive (EUPPD) set a goal for all the European Member States which may encourage or mandate the use of BIM for publicly funded design contests and building projects by 2016. European countries like Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway and United Kingdom already require the use of BIM for publicly funded building projects. In this paper emphasis will be taken on adoption of BIM technology in linear construction projects like roads, highways, city streets and other urban area surfaces. There are projects in this sector which are already designed using BIM tools but its technology is not fully utilized in all aspects in ‘life-time’ of construction. Needed preconditions will be shown for everyday implementation from design and documentation to building and field support, on example of Croatia according to its current laws and regulations.
