Hochtief to create BIM map of Germany's roads
Hochtief subsidiary ViCon and its partners have won a German government contract to create a map of the country’s road network using building information modelling (BIM).
Digital construction specialist ViCon will provide consultancy services to the Federal Ministry of Transport & Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) until the end of 2018.
The target is to introduce the BIM road map in three consecutive steps. A preparatory phase will take place this year, followed by a pilot phase lasting until 2020. The use of BIM is then expected to be mandatory for all new projects under the responsibility of the ministry.
The aim is to make planning and construction processes - especially of large infrastructure projects - more efficient, transparent and controllable.
ViCon will provide consultancy service to the pilot projects. In addition, its specialists will analyse the extent to which BIM is already being used in Germany and determine a realistic performance level to be expected when BIM is introduced in 2020 for the public infrastructure sector.
