Driving Efficiency: Implementing BIM Standards Across Engineering Disciplines
RA IL SUMMI T 20 24
Speaker
With more then 6.500 employees from 94 different
countries, we are advising, designing and
implementing infrastructure projects, from the idea to operations.

Status Quo of the BIM Implementation in 2022 Are we really BIM Ready?
„Does BIM
really improve
our design
process?“
„Where is the
efficiency?“
„BIM is an
additional
effort!“
„Our Design is ready, now we have to do this BIM Model!“
„Where is the
BIM coordinator
to present our
BIM model?“
„Hey BIM
coordinator, can
you please
coordinate our
BIM model?“

Taking a deeper look…
Decentral internal BIM developments (working groups / project demands)
➢ Good but isolated and project-specific solutions and workflows
➢ Various software solutions for the same usecase
Difficulties by using BIM models across the disciplines
Customer driven LoD and LoI-Definitions
➢ High effort in meeting changing project-specific customer requirements
Complex and unflexible automation processes
Separated processes for 2D and 3D
Status Quo of the BIM Implementation in 2022
The Vision
RA IL SUMMI T 20 24
Building a central development team
BIM Standard for the design phases Preliminary design, Final design and Building permission
application
Uniform working methods in EVERY BIM design project in the German Market
One overall BIM Basic Standard for cross-discipline BIM coordination
Optimizations through BIM in the disciplines, especially regarding LoI, 2D, 3D, 5D
Flexibility with changing customer requirements
Quality inspection tools and optimization of BIM coordination tools
User-friendly and preconfigured solutions

No: Flexibility by Standardization
All internal BIM processes are independant
from any external requirement
Standardized und adaptable interfaces to
flexibel fullfill external requirements

IFC, DWG, RVT
IFC4 as standard exchange format for 3D-Models
among the disciplines and for BIM coordination
DWG for 2D references
Revit (RVT) for Revit-internal references only
Main Data Formats
IFC
RA IL SUMMI T 20 24
The single source of truth
The LoI Specifications define the
Information Requirements for each
Design Phase
IFC PropertySets are also defined
Three types of informations
o Mandatory Basic information
o Project-specific information
o Object-specific information
LoI Specification Database
Technical Implementation

Script-based generation of configuration files
Automatic Software Configuration
LoI definitions
• LoI definitions
• model-based quantity takeoff
Quantity takeoff rules
• LoI definitions
• model-based quantity takeoff
• Parametermapping
• Quality checks • Collision test

IFC-Export Definitions to ensure the usage of IFC-Files with „one click“:
o Georeferencing (Base Point, Coordinate System)
o Defined Property Sets and Basic Parameters (LoI-Specifications)

Rollout process
RA IL SUMMI T 20 24
Informing the Employees
➢ Information letter from the CEO on the mandatory application of BIM standards
➢ Information events for managers and users
➢ Offering project support for the introduction of BIM standards in projects
➢ Regulary TEAMS-Coffee Corners
➢ Setting up additional trainings (e.g. for the BIM Booster)
➢ Using the IT Ticket System for Feedback
Rollout
Key Benefits
RA IL SUMMI T 20 24
Uniform working methods in every BIM project ensure routine and efficient processes
More time for the design an less time for the technical BIM setup
Easy workflows and preconfigured software make BIM also accessible for “Non -Tekkies”
The BIM Standards form the basis for further efficiency and quality-enhancing automation
processes
Key Benefits
Next Steps
RA IL SUMMI T 20 24
➢ Permanent further development
➢ Evaluate and integrate IFC 4.3 (ifcRailway, ifcBridge, ifcRoad)
➢ Improve the BIM-GIS integration
➢ Implementation of Autodesk Constructon Cloud as new CDE
➢ Developing further Automation-Processes
➢ …
Next Steps
