ICE BIM for Infrastructure – embedding the Government’s Learning Outcomes Framework

Course Cost £645 +VAT
Duration 2 DAYS
  • BIM manages information through the life cycle of assets. BIM is not a single software application but a process. BIM Level 2 mandated for government projects by 2016. Course covers procurement, collaborative working, and practical issues. Delegates understand BIM challenges and benefits.

Overview

The BIM Training course focuses on the purposeful management of information throughout the life cycle of infrastructure assets using Building Information Modelling (BIM). It covers the collection and exploitation of information, design exploration, and digital model creation. The course aims to demystify BIM, aligns with Government standards, and equips delegates with a comprehensive understanding of BIM implementation. Participants will learn about BIM's power, integration in the built environment, practical steps for implementation, and its impacts on engineering and asset management. Targeted at senior management, project managers, engineers, technicians, and graduates/apprentices.

Who should attend

Senior Management, Project Managers, Engineers, Technicians, Graduates/Apprentices

Course Content

BIM Training

The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) views Building Information Modelling (BIM) as the purposeful management of information through the whole life cycle of an infrastructure asset.  Thus, BIM is a managed approach to the collection and exploitation of information across the life cycle of a built environment asset – which keeps the needs and overall purpose of the asset at the fore.  At its heart are computer-generated models connecting all graphical and tabular information about the design, construction and operation of the asset and associated documents.  BIM allows design options to be explored digitally.  Design changes are quicker and cheaper to enact when compared to traditional design tools.  It is the technological and process successor to CAD and 2/3D drawings and creates data files or ‘objects’ of physical components and spaces to produce a sophisticated 3D models, which contain both graphical representation of the asset, but more importantly details of all its associated information that can be reused.

It is important to note that BIM itself is not a single software application but is the use of software tools embedded in a process to manage data throughout the lifecycle of an asset from procurement through operational management and changes. For this reason there is often controversy over what the ‘M’ in BIM means – we recognise that it covers two interchangeable aspects Modelling and Management of the key component Information.

The term Building often gives rise to confusion limiting the application of BIM to Architecture and physical buildings however in the context of the industry Building should be taken as a verb to build rather than the noun a building.

Government has mandated that all government projects must be using BIM Level 2 by 2016. This means that everyone working on government projects from 2016 onwards must be able to demonstrate and adherence an understanding of BIM.

This 2 day course has been developed and reviewed by members of the ICE BIM Action Group who provide input at both Government and Industry level.  The course has been developed in consultation with the Government BIM Task Group and embeds the Government’s Learning Outcome Framework.

  • Day 1: Overarching principles,  including procurement and collaborative working
  • Day 2: Deeper dive into some of the practical issues,  including volume strategy, digital plan of works and COBie

Benefits

Testimonials

We’ve helped thousands of professionals grow their skills and confidence. Hear directly from the people who’ve taken our training courses.

The course was exceptional, well run in terms of delivery of information, IT online course but seamless. Very interesting examples of temporary works failures applicable to the businesses we worked in. Break out activities / group examples worked very well and were again well managed by the trainer. Fantastic course, I will recommend to others! Best course I have attended in years!

Black & Veatch

The trainers knowledge was excellent and I liked his examples and how he could relate them to every day relatable examples that we could all understand. Coming from different industries and sectors his examples were a common ground. It was handled very well virtually and the engagement worked with his questioning and answering
