Towards The Development Of A BIM Process For Infrastructure And Its Use In The Management Of Highways
Morocco's highway infrastructure is considered as the engine of economic and social development of the country. Its monitoring and maintenance are of great importance but requires significant costs and time. With the advent of the BIM concept and its major contributions to the building sector, its projection on the road infrastructure sector is a promising solution. The creation of a BIM model reveals a great importance for monitoring the state of the highway infrastructure. The objective of our study is the development of a Scan to BIM process for the management of highway infrastructure and its exploitation in maintenance under a collaborative aspect. Our methodology is based on three steps. First, we experiment two approaches for the model creation: BIM oriented approach and infrastructure oriented approach. The second step is the integration of maintenance data in the BIM model of the highway and the third step is the collaboration around the BIM model. The study area is a highway section (Casablanca, Morocco) scanned by Mobile Mapping System. The results show that the visualization of the BIM model, the sharing of information between teams and the efficient resolution of problems are possible. The application of BIM process allows a more intelligent and efficient management of highways during their exploitation.
