IntroductionBuilding Information Modelling (BIM)

BIM is a process for creating and managing information on a built

environment project across the asset lifecycle in a collaborative and

integrated manner. The process draws on information assembled

collaboratively and updated at key stages of a project including not just

graphical models but all project information such as drawings, reports and

schedules. The digital Model developed enables those who interact with the

built asset to optimize their actions, resulting in a greater whole life value

for the asset.

All project information can be attributed to one of three ‘datasets’. These

datasets are graphical models, documentation and non graphical data. The

value of BIM is in sharing these datasets collaboratively and the results and

uses achieved by integrating and enabling interoperability between them.

BIM approaches provide our industry with tangible ways of achieving

greater efficiency and value across project and service delivery activities.

BIM is an integrated digital delivery framework underpinned by

collaborative information management processes and associated

technologies. The adoption of these information rich technologies,

processes and collaborative behaviours unlocks enhanced and more

efficient ways of working at all stages of the asset lifecycle and can provide

numerous enhancements across our asset lifecycle.

IntroductionBIM Programme Overview

Initiated in 2017 Transpower's BIM Programme is currently

focused on understanding how BIM can be applied in our

industry and to understand the added value to inform a

measured approach to BIM implementation and ensure that

investment in the process is balanced with recorded benefits.

To date this focus has largely been on how BIM can support

project delivery activities.

In addition to case studies and benefits measurement the

programme is also developing a framework to enable the

business to increase BIM use to a BAU state. This framework

includes processes, standards, education pathways,

technology procurement and communication & engagement

procedures to ensure us and our supply chain can delivery the

process effectively and achieve the desired value.

Following validation of key benefits It is envisioned that BIM

will become an integral part of project and service delivery

activities in our built environment.

IntroductionBIM Playbook and Proficiency Targets

A collaborative work involving key functions within

Transpower the BIM Proficiency metric forms a core part of

our BIM strategy. The document communicates in plain

language how BIM is used at Transpower and what being ‘BIM

Proficient’ means in our project delivery activities.

This document informs all remaining strategic activities and

provides direction on development of standards, education

modules, technologies required and engagement approaches

to raise awareness and understanding throughout our supply

chain. It can be used as a reference by project teams to

determine how best to apply BIM to suit the specific

requirements and challenges of any given project. The metric

can also be used to determine how BIM proficient we are as an

organisation and supply chain, at a project and organisational

level, which will assist in driving and determining a BAU state.

The BIM Playbook expands on this metric to convey timeline

and roles and responsibilities of Transpower staff with

imagery and examples of the various foundations and

applications of the process.

Roles and ResponsibilitiesThe responsibility matrix communicates key accountabilities

and associated support in order to deliver BIM successfully on

projects. For the company to achieve BIM delivery as Business

as usual (BAU) it is important that key functions within the

business understand their roles and accountabilities in

delivering each aspect of the process. The table to the right

indicates a proposed approach to dividing the BIM process

down by business function in progression to a BAU state. Roles

and responsibilities will be agreed with each function prior to

completion of our BIM stage 2 business case.

Information Requirements

Description:

Our Information Requirements form our core BIM management documentation to define and communicate

how BIM is to be established and managed on projects and sites to both internal and external teams.

Aligned with ISO 19650 these documents consider both organizational and project level information

structures. The process of developing them helps rationalize what information we need, at what stage and

from whom across our asset lifecycle. This process starts by taking a macro level view of information

management at organizational and project level through the Organizational Information Requirements

(OIRs) and Project Information Requirements (PIRs) respectively. The high level requirements captured in

these documents are then used to develop the Asset Information Requirements (AIRs) and Exchange

Information Requirements (EIRs), which communicate information management at the micro level. These

documents can then be understood and followed by project teams to execute BIM on projects and sites

such that the process meets our needs as an organization.

Transpower in relation to a particular built asset

project. PIR are identified from both the project

management process and the asset management

process. A set of information requirements has been

prepared for each of Transpower’s key stages during

the project in the format of plain language questions.

These questions can be used by the project team to

inform stage gate ‘go, no go’ decisions on whether the

project should proceed to the next stage. Once

developed the PIR is also then used as guidance to

help in the development of the EIR and essentially

acts in this respect as a problem statement.

Description:

AIR set out managerial, commercial and technical

aspects of producing asset information. The technical

aspects of the AIR specify those detailed pieces of

information needed to answer the asset-related

Organizational Information Requirements (OIR). The

AIR specifies what information is to be collected during

the project, by whom and at what stage the

information is required to be submitted. Typically the

bulk of the information specified is asset metadata

(manufacturer, serial number etc) to be loaded into an

Asset Management System (i.e Maximo). Once

developed the AIR informs the Information Delivery

process defined in the BEP. The Transpower BIM

Manager should be notified at the concept phase to

ensure the AIR is included in project related

appointments.

Description:

The BEP is the action plan developed from the Information Requirements document set. Typically

developed by the Lead Consultant or Main Contractor the BEP sets out how the requirements specified in

the AIR and EIR will be achieved. The BEP details processes and procedures with particular emphasis on

how information will be shared in a CDE and how asset information will be collected, validated and

delivered at key stages of the project. Processes and procedures associated with the key applications of

BIM discussed later in this document will also be specified, along with specific roles and responsibilities, to

ensure quality, efficiency and consistency in execution of the BIM process on a particular project. At

Transpower requirements of sharing information in a CDE are contained in a separate document called the

CDE plan.

Description:

A CDE is a controlled environment for collecting and managing all project information including, not just

graphical models and drawings, but also non graphical data such as specifications, reports, schedules and

certificates. Implemented on a sever, extranet or cloud-based file sharing platform the CDE provides a

process for managing project information through various states such that all information can be easily

retrieved by the project team and identified in terms of suitability before being used for certain purposes.

The CDE implements a common naming convention for all files to enable quick and accurate recycling of

information and facilitates the development and storage of the Project Information Model (PIM) during

project delivery and Asset Information Model (AIM) at handover. Collaborative sharing of information is

fundamental to the BIM process and the CDE is the primary enabler for this collaboration.

Sustainability

Description:

BIM supports various sustainability initiatives by raising awareness of environmental issues, leveraging

model information to support quantification exercises of embodied carbon and earthworks and using

models to generate visualisations for community engagement. Integrating environmental data with models

such as areas of soil contamination and asbestos locations improves accessibility and understanding of

this information by project teams. Geometric and material information contained within models can also be

used to calculate embodied carbon across sites and used for cut and fill analysis to support understanding

of soil movements and resource consenting. Support for customer engagement is provided by enabling a

greater understanding of proposed works from both a visual and noise perspective. In turn this ensures

concerns are identified, addressed and misunderstandings are avoided during project delivery.

Information Delivery (6D)

Description:

A fundamental BIM process, Information Delivery, concerns the collection and exchange of asset

information as it is generated on a project. Rather than collecting and exchanging asset information once

on a project, at handover, asset data is exchanged at regular information exchange milestones in line with

project phases. Benefits are time efficiencies in information gathering and exchange, and benefits in

information quality. The Information Delivery process is directly related to the Asset Information

Requirements (AIR) and is the action plan for fulfilling these requirements. Information exchanges consist

of documentation, non-graphical data and graphical models to gradually develop the Project Information

Model (PIM) during delivery and Asset Information Model (AIM) at handover as depicted in figure 2 of the

BIM Playbook.
