As the key node of highway traffic in China, the super-large bridge is the most important infrastructure of the country. With the completion of large-scale infrastructure construction in China, the key work of super-large bridges has changed from construction to maintenance. The service life of the super-large bridge is long, and with the increase...

... Furthermore, exploring the application of BIM in operation and maintenance during the construction phase is a noteworthy direction. By establishing a comprehensive information model during the construction phase, post-project delivery can be more effectively managed for operation and maintenance, achieving full lifecycle management [29]. This approach can lead to a reduction in operating costs and an extension of the facility's lifespan. ...
Building information modeling (BIM) is acknowledged for enhancing efficiency and collaboration in the construction industry. However, its application in the construction phase of railway projects faces challenges. This study, utilizing quantitative and qualitative analyses, explores the advantage of BIM consulting services in the railway infrastructure projects. A comparative analysis of similar-scale projects shows that BIM significantly boosts construction efficiency, yielding a 197.6% economic benefit in pilot projects. This study also delves into the BIM application environment in railway construction. Our findings provide valuable insights into BIM’s advantages and challenges, emphasizing the need for further research. The results will contribute to advancing railway infrastructure and promoting BIM’s application, aiding decision makers and practitioners in understanding its potential contributions to a more efficient and sustainable industry.
... Santarsiero et al. [5] spotlight some of these drawbacks, hindering the ability to comprehensively understand a bridge's health and make informed maintenance that bridge maintenance is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires careful planning, regular inspections, and a risk-based approach. Proper maintenance can help extend the life of a bridge, ensure the safety of those who use it, and reduce the overall cost of infrastructure management [17,18]. ...
Reinforced concrete bridges (RCBs) are essential elements of transportation infrastructure, necessitating ongoing inspection and maintenance to guarantee their durability and structural integrity. This research aims to develop an integrated framework for inspection and maintenance intervention in reinforced concrete bridges (RCB), leveraging the potential of as-is Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM). The methodology begins by converting 2D drawings into a 3D as-is BrIM model, facilitating a more accurate representation of the bridge’s current state. This is followed by creating a comprehensive bridge inventory, allowing for meticulous tracking of vital components and their condition. Subsequently, inspection data are acquired using advanced sensing technologies, enabling real-time data collection and analysis. Structural defects are modeled on the as-is BrIM model to enhance diagnostic capabilities, providing a visual representation of areas requiring intervention. The framework also makes it easier to create reports, ensuring that important information is efficiently shared with the right people. A thorough case study using a concrete bridge is used to show the effectiveness of the created framework. The BrIM framework’s potential to improve the bridge inspection and maintenance process was demonstrated by integrating inspection reporting with BrIM, which produced encouraging results. The research contribution to the body of knowledge is significant as the developed framework considerably enhances the administration of bridge inspection and maintenance procedures, resulting in greater efficacy by offering a thorough and clear picture of the bridge’s current state.
This research analyzes the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in nine road and bridge infrastructure projects in Indonesia during 2023. By defining specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) based on various parameters, the average BIM implementation KPI score for all projects was 78.44%. KPI-1: Completeness of BIM Documents and Support, achieved the highest compliance rate at 92.82%, while KPI-5: Cost and Time Efficiency through BIM Implementation, demonstrated the lowest compliance at 70.00%. Recommendations to enhance BIM effectiveness include concentrating efforts on improving KPI-3: Implementation of Preparation and Analysis of BIM-Based Design Drawings, further identifying opportunities for cost and time savings under KPI-5 and optimizing collaboration through the Directorate General of Highway's Common Data Environment as highlighted in KPI-6: Collaboration between Parties through The Directorate General of Highway's CDE. Key recommendations from this study include focusing on enhancing KPI-3 by refining BIM-based design processes, targeting cost and time efficiencies under KPI-5, and strengthening collaboration through optimized use of the Common Data Environment as outlined in KPI-6.
