Session Number
93
Session Title
Reducing Construction Change Orders With 3D CIM Technology
Track Title
Design/Construction
Event Description/Abstract
As long as 2D paper plans are the construction contract document, 3D Civil Information Management (CIM) technology will improve bid-ability, constructability, and overall plan quality. The CIM process leverages modeling technology to reverse engineer 2D plans and build the project electronically prior to letting. Used with engineering best practices, CIM identifies plan errors, conflicts, and other challenges which ultimately reduce construction change orders. Featured projects will include I-69 in Bloomington and the Ohio River Bridges.
