GeoBIM

Speakers About Programme

The region's emerging economies such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are creating a boom in infrastructure projects - from airports to mining facilities, highways, railways to skyscrapers. Some of the most notable ones are the Kuala Lumpur–Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR), Jakarta-Bandung Super Express Rail, Manila and Bangkok LRT expansion, Marina One Complex in Singapore and Long Thanh Airport in Vietnam.

The tremendous growth projected in future of construction sector requires innovation and adoption of technology to ensure return on investment as well as to meet environmental demands. One of them is Building Information Modeling (BIM), which is a process applicable throughout the entire lifecycle of a building or infrastructure. BIM can provide quantifiable business benefits by helping improve collaboration, reduce costs, and reduce the risk of budget and schedule overruns during the design and construction phase of building projects. Developed countries in the region like Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea have mandated BIM in construction projects during the past 5 years. The developing countries, on the other hands, are starting to catch up.

Integrating geospatial technology in BIM processes improves collaboration, efficiency and performance in planning and design phase, during construction, in post-build savings and for ongoing operational management of a construction project. Reality capture, construction monitoring, locating underground utilities, project visualization in context, digital as-builts, facilities management with a common operational view of inside and outside facilities, full lifecycle modeling, and modeling of entire urban environments are just some of the areas where integrated geospatial and BIM data and technology solves problems that cannot be addressed by either technology alone.

GeoBIM programme at GeoSmart Asia 2016 will provide a platform to understand/acknowledge the need for leveraging Geospatial+BIM technologies in plan, design, build and operate phases of a construction project.
