Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) for Highway Engineering Value for one – Value for all Dan Russell – Director Construction Technology Eric Cylwik – Modeler II – Heavy / civil division Sundt Construction, inc.
Definitions • BIM = Building Information Model (object) • BIM = Building Information Modeling (process) • VDC = Virtual Design and Construction (process) • Process is much more important than object Information Sharing
VDC Adoption Problems • Need for Construction Technology for Highway Design & Construction Solutions • BIM historically has been vertical focused • With a few exceptions, little has been done on horizontal projects • Software providers have been focused vertically • Owners drove change in vertical world
Get Everyone Involved • No Value without Input • Value comes from • Applications in field • Better Communication • Re-purposing Information Upstream • Exploring Possibilities in real time • Communication Vs. Assumption
