BIM Parametric Modeling for overseas bridge construction

JFE Engineering is promoting DX in a design process using BIM*1 with the aims of increasing efficiency in design operations in projects and strengthening our international competitiveness.
Using a three-dimensional model creation tool’s no-code programming function, we have achieved a parametric design*2 method with a BIM system in overseas bridge construction.
Applying this technology in overseas bridge construction projects makes it possible to put design information previously managed in duplicate in two-dimensional diagrams and the three-dimensional models by BIM into a single BIM system, significantly increasing operational efficiency.
In addition, using the data of accurate parts and material shapes taken from BIM to order materials has improved the yield on materials to 89% from 85% and reduced both costs and CO2 emissions.
Going forward, we aim to develop this technology for other processes beyond the design area and use BIM across the entire project life cycle to achieve more creative and efficient operational processes.

*1 BIM (Building Information Modeling): A method of centrally managing a structure’s shape and attributes in a three-dimensional model for use in design, installation, and operation
*2 Parametric design: A design method that automatically creates shapes by defining dimensions as variables in 3D-CAD
