Building Information Modeling for Airports. Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Synthesis 70. A Synthesis of Airport Practice
Building information modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of a facility’s physical and functional characteristics. It can be shared by planners, designers, constructors, operators, and maintainers to provide reliable information for decision making throughout the facility’s life cycle. BIM offers tools that allow airport decision makers to understand all components of a facility, their location, and their attributes, both graphically and systematically, to minimize the total cost of owning and operating an airport facility. The objective of this synthesis is to deliver information about the general, current state of the art and practice in BIM applications in industry and to provide a snapshot of existing experience related to the emergence of BIM in North American airports. The goal is to provide information about BIM and assist airports in understanding available opportunities, benefits, and value related to engaging in BIM. Currently, little guidance is available for airport operators on how to implement BIM from project conception through planning, design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and demolition. Although several airports have utilized some BIM tools and processes in their development programs, there is a shortage of documentation on benefit metrics and lessons learned.
