BIM-CF For Utility Sector

The energy and utility industries are changing. This sector is stagnant due to a lack of innovation and the slow acceptance of digital transformation. When the total cost of ownership rises, utility companies look for ways to boost productivity to reduce costs.

BIM could be a solution to the problem mentioned above. BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a digital representation of an infrastructure project's physical and functional elements. BIM can be used to automate time-consuming operations and precisely estimate project time, cost, and space.

Advantages of BIM

BIM has various advantages for the utility industry, including enhanced efficiency, first-time-right design, improved safety, lower costs, and longer lifespan.

A platform like BIM integrates intelligent sensors, networked devices, and new software applications to provide intelligent and predictive solutions.

The potential cost saving in full-scale digitization through BIM is 0.7 to 1.2 trillion USD in construction and 0.3 to 0.5 trillion USD in operation (BCG- 2016). It will bring 13–21% savings in the design and implementation phase and 10–17% in the maintenance phase within the global infrastructure industry by 2025 (dodge data analytics -2017).

Transformation in Utility Sector

BIM is the central piece of digital transformation for the utility industries. The BIM architecture…
