The Implementation Potentials of BIM in Bridge Maintenance Workflows

The present research deals with the experimental implementation of the BIM method in the field of bridge maintenance in order to identify its application potentials. The study was carried out in cooperation with the municipal department for bridge maintenance in Vienna as part of the “Public Administration 4.0” project. To enable the elaboration, the use case in bridge maintenance had to be limited, which was then adapted for bridge inspection due to the high potential for successful digitalization. The BIM-model was used as a central information hub that continuously collects relevant information and data of a certain bridge structure. It was crucial to integrate the BIM-model into a suitable software application such as PlanRadar and to verify its applicability in the field. As a result, the bridge inspection process could be successfully digitalized and great potential is shown for the use of BIM to make routine processes more efficient and transparent.
