A growing number of countries are mandating BIM for public projects.
Growing evidence of the benefits of an integrated BIM+geospatial full lifecycle approach to constructionīuilding information modeling (BIM) has been applied to design-build construction projects for many years.There are successful examples around the world where municipal and regional governments have helped enable a shared underground utility network database. But this information is rarely shared and the location of underground infrastructure is recaptured over and over again. Every construction project requiring excavation involves significant efforts in locating underground utilities prior to and during construction to reduce the risk of injuries and unexpected project delays. devotes an estimated $10 billion annually to locating underground infrastructure. Sharing information about the location of underground utilities.There are proven measures that an administration, owner, or municipal government responsible for an airport, university, industrial or commercial campus, or town can undertake to reduce the risk of underground utility damage, the associated disruptions to operations and business and the danger for workers and the public. Proven guidelines for reducing underground infrastructure damage at airports, university, industrial, and commercial campuses, and towns.OSGeo was created to support the collaborative development of open source geospatial software and promote its widespread use Open Source Geospatial Foundation OSGEO.
