APPLICATION OF GEOMATICS IN BIM FOR CIVIL CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

With the growth of information technologies in the field of construction industry over the last years, numerical building information modeling and process simulation has evolved to a fully accepted and widely used tool for project life circle management. A growing diversity between disciplines, participants, tasks, tools and events while project management in design and construction stages, the rising pressure of costing competition and tighter production deadlines, together with consistently increasing quality requirements and necessity of technological enhancements, have been the driving force of information modeling and numerical simulation in building industry. The range of applications covers virtually every phase of the specific construction product development process: planning, design, estimating, scheduling, fabrication, construction, maintenance and facility management. Theoretical background and practical innovative applications of building information modeling and to the construction industry provides a pathway through which the full power of 3D surveying, using geospatial data sets (Geomatics applications), traditional point and line collection methods or newer point cloud technologies, can now be more properly utilized throughout a project’s lifecycle and these concepts are observed in the report
