India’s First Nagpur Metro and Bangalore International AirportBIM-based projects marked the beginning of large-scale Building Information Modeling (BIM) adoption.
India’s First BIM Projects: Nagpur Metro & Bangalore Airport Here’s a more detailed about BIM projects and adoption of Building Information Implementation Nagpur Metro- 5D BIM and ERP – Digital Construction Project Management for Nagpur Metro Rail Project in India Nagpur city is the winter capital of the state of Maharashtra. The Nagpur Metro Rail (http://www.metrorailnagpur.com/) Project will consist of 38.215 Km metro corridor, 38 stations and 2 Depots. The entire stretch will be divided into 2 alignments or corridors. Dr. Brijesh Dixit, Managing Director Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited India’s first 5D BIM implementation project aims to reduce cost overruns and delays, improve quality and safety, and create a collaborative environment for all stakeholders. The 5D BIM platform serves as a unified collaborative space for all participants, including contractors, consultants, and the Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Limited (NMRCL). Bangalore International Airport (BIAL) For Terminal 2 Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) utilized Building Information Modeling (BIM) extensively during the construction of Terminal 2 (T2) for design, planning, and project execution. To design and build the second terminal for Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, BIAL relied on Autodesk solutions to achieve ambitious design and timeline goals. THE CHALLENGES: Nagpur Metro- 5D BIM and ERP – Digital Construction Project Management for Nagpur Metro Rail Project in India Key Applications of BIM at Bangalore Airport: Design and Planning: BIM facilitated seamless coordination among designers, engineers, and contractors for Terminal 2. This allowed for the early identification and resolution of potential design issues. Construction: BIM enabled the project team to visualize the terminal in 3D, which helped in identifying potential problems during the construction phase. Necessary adjustments were made before construction began. Facility Management: The BIM model serves as the foundation for facility management, ensuring efficient maintenance and operations after the terminal’s completion. Collaboration: BIM Collaborate Pro facilitated real-time collaboration among various teams, enhancing information sharing and reducing delays. Sustainability: The project integrated sustainable design principles, including the utilization of renewable energy sources and effective water management systems. Digital Twin Platform: A digital twin platform based on Autodesk Forge has been implemented for asset management, allowing BIAL to track and visualize asset data effectively.
