“…The development of frameworks to describe specific subjects or integration of components was prominent with 38 publications. With the rest of the main body taken up by case studies for example use of BIM on the heads of the valleys project in the UK [60] and the Northern Hub Rail Improvements [61], subject analysis themes such as an analysis of BIM implementations in infrastructure [68] and literature reviews.…”

The subject of Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become a central topic to the improvement of the AECOO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner and Operator) industry around the world, to the point where the concept is being expanded into domains it was not originally conceived to address. Transitioning BIM into the domain of infrastructure projects has provided challenges and emphasized the constructor perspective of BIM. Therefore, this study aims to collect the relevant literature regarding BIM within the Infrastructure domain and its use from the constructor perspective to review and analyse the current industry positioning and research state of the art, with regards to the set criteria. The review highlighted a developing base of BIM for infrastructure. From the analysis, the related research gaps were identified regarding information integration, alignment of BIM processes to constructor business processes & the effective governance and value of information. From this a unique research strategy utilising a framework for information governance coupled with a graph based distributed data environment is outlined to further progress the integration and efficiency of AECOO Infrastructure projects.

“…As an example of BIM application of highway projects, here are three articles that belong to two different dimensions. The first, Sibert (2013), belongs to the third dimension purpose/ outcome relationship, as it mainly focuses on the interoperability of BIM tools. The paper explained how BIM can provide a structured approach to design data storage and sharing for design teams, contractors and operators.…”

Purpose Building information modeling (BIM) is a process of generating and managing building data during the building’s life cycle. To increase productivity in building design and construction, BIM uses three-dimensional (3D) real-time, dynamic building modeling software. Because of its versatile features, BIM use is on the rise and researchers are exploring its application in new disciplines. The purpose of this study is to map out how BIM is used in the construction industry, while identifying and highlighting the research gaps in the literature. Design/methodology/approach To investigate the status quo of knowledge about BIM, the authors conducted a comprehensive literature review. They applied and extended a methodology for reviewing BIM-related publications through a four-dimensional meta-analysis system and its categories, which has been partially adapted previously. Findings Majority of studies applying BIM for the construction phase of civil engineering projects were done within universities; none used BIM for the construction of intermediate railway stations. Practical implications To increase the construction efficiency of intermediate railway stations, applying the BIM concept for generation and management of station data should be considered for future research. Originality/value Furthermore, one of the main goals of this research paper is to explore the adoption of BIM in civil engineering construction projects, in particular the construction of intermediate railway stations.

“…As reported in our recent briefings (Sibert, 2013;Vernikos, 2012), BIM will be required on all UK public sector projects by 2016. Neath et al (2014) describe how Gatwick airport -the busiest single-runway airport in the world -has taken an early lead by placing BIM at the heart of its ongoing infrastructure investment programme.…”
