Building Information Modelling (BIM) aims to transform radically the way assets (such as buildings and civil infrastructures) are planned, designed, analyzed, constructed, and maintained.

Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) aims to transform radically the way assets (such as buildings and civil infrastructures) are planned, designed, analyzed, constructed, and maintained. Nowadays, the requirement of BIM in public tenders is increasingly widespread within administrations from all around the world. Nevertheless, most of these applications are only focused on the early stages (such as design and construction) of the project life cycle. In fact, in most public tenders BIM is rarely required for the maintenance phase. To fill this gap this work aims to encourage administrations and practitioners to use BIM for maintenance purposes in civil infrastructures in general and in bridges in particular. To do so, some of the most promising applications of the BIM methodology for bridge maintenance are reviewed. In addition, the current and future integration of cutting-edge technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality, Internet of Things, and/or low-cost monitoring, with BIM methodology to digitalize and improve bridge maintenance works are detailed.
