How to Take Advantage of BIM Technology for Underground Construction

BIM has several benefits as part of the construction process, including the ability to conduct risk analysis. Engineers and risk managers can perform a more thorough and reliable risk analysis by incorporating advanced features such as heat distribution and layered imagery. The safety of the project is directly affected by this.

Fremont, CA: Construction technology for underground structures is becoming more capable and dynamic than ever, owing to the advanced capabilities of building information modeling (BIM).BIM offers opportunities for making working around buried structures and components much safer, more efficient, and more understandable.

Contextualizing Underground Structures

An obvious benefit of implementing BIM construction technology is the ability to integrate underground structures into the context of their surroundings. As a go-to tool for visualizing and designing above-ground buildings, BIM clearly represents the project from top to bottom.

Less Invasive Construction

Excavation of trenches is a highly destructive process that can disrupt the local community and the environment. Micro tunneling is a trenchless excavation method that is significantly less invasive. With the aid of BIM, these processes can be implemented much more quickly.
