Application of bim model in technical infrastructure design for newcity thu thiem residential project

In the field of construction, many new technologies have been developed and applied to the design, construction and management of construction works. One of these new technologies is the application of Building Information Model (BIM). BIM is applied in all fields of the construction industry from design, construction management, gives almost absolute accuracy, saving time and costs in survey, design, construction and project management and brings us economic benefits very clearly. BIM helps to reduce costs, construction time, reduce construction risks and design changes. Based on the results of the BIM model, the projects are estimated easily, estimating a suitable capital arrangement plan, avoiding unnecessary risks. In Vietnam, there have been a number of investors are applying BIM in technical infrastructure works, especially buildings in recent years. However, high cost and qualifications of engineers are barriers for applying BIM. There are few technical infrastructure projects that are applied BIM, especially in infrastructures field. This paper researches the application of BIM for in technical infrastructure design for the NEWCITY Thu Thiem, Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. An diagram of implementing BIM process in design and process for design coordination for operating the design and coordination between the stakeholders is built. Software are applied as well as exported files with levels of detail (LOD) and levels of information (LOI) from 200 to 400 to helping stakeholders to retrieve, check, handle information and interacting by the parties during life cycle of the project.
