BIM 4 Infrastructure – or how the sixth and seventh dimension (sustainability, resources and operation) will inspire planning models.

In infrastructure projects, the entire life cycle, including subsequent operation, must take on central importance. Especially due to the growing challenges of resource scarcity and rising energy costs, planning that covers sustainability and operation in detail will not only be a “nice to have” in the future.  

Reuse and the associated protection of resources must be given a central role. As it is already practiced in building construction by companies such as Madaster, the infrastructure sector will also benefit greatly from the knowledge and maintenance of data models. This benefit can also be a lower CO2 footprint, which does not yet have a strong influence on the cost model, but can significantly improve the CO2 balance during operation and thus not only benefit our environment.
