BIM has been previously recognised and adopted as a tool in building construction industries but in recent months, BIM is now pushing the technology envelope further in improving design and construction of building structures, civil construction, road and highway projects, underground construction as well as heavy industries such as coal mining projects, tunneling and foundations. The concept of BIM allows a more holistic approach and enables geometry, geographic information as well as spatial relationships, quantities and properties of infrastructure components to be considered simultaneously. The result is a faster design process making it easier to assess feasibility and provide detailed 3D model information downstream into construction. As such, it becomes imminent to take a closer look at extending BIM principles to critical mega projects and heavy industries to enhance exploration of alternatives and better solution as well as improved collaboration, higher quality and significant cost savings during planning process, construction and commissioning by performing a BIM simulation.
