Building Information Modeling (BIM): Transforming Utilities Information Managementhttps://metrovancouver.org/about-us/sustainability-innovation-fund/project/64Building Information Modeling (BIM): Transforming Utilities Information ManagementTechnologyIn Progress<div class="ExternalClass094C134F75AD4751880BE571506F99A1"><p>This project is exploring and advancing the potential of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Metro Vancouver utilities using consulting engineering services. An earlier review of BIM and its benefits for utilities showed tangible efficiencies and cost reductions over the long term. The project will be completed in three phases, each stage gated for review and approval.<br></p></div><div class="ExternalClass6429818419FD49B4BB921EB833F4A277"><p>Consulting engineering services for Phase 1 were procured in 2021.</p><p>Standards and processes development and adoption are 100 per cent complete.</p><p>Training of Metro Vancouver staff on the use of BIM tools is well underway.</p><p>Consulting community awareness on new standards and processes underway.</p><p>Project teams have already started utilizing these new Metro Vancouver BIM standards for major projects such as the Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade project.</p><p> The consultant's contract for Phase 1 is expected to be fully complete by the end of Q1 2024 with the review of Phase 2 requirements, including identifying elements of Phase 2 that may be brought forward within Phase 1 to better align the BIM requirements with projects utilizing the new BIM standards. </p><p>Phase 2 is proposed to support construction management, commissioning, operations, and maintenance activities. The final Phase 3 will pilot the integration of BIM with Enterprise Asset Management, GIS, and other corporate systems, including the Regional Water Transmission model being developed in the Digital Transformation of Water Transmission System Planning & Analysis project (approved in 2022). </p></div>GP0|#a32072f3-3cb5-4837-85d6-14428be3d19c;L0|#0a32072f3-3cb5-4837-85d6-14428be3d19c|Water;GTSet|#ab8a80a3-ac09-4cde-99c1-454c04cb5931BC Lower Mainland2021
