Challenges to a successful Nexus

Establishing the ‘single source of truth’

►Can the datasources be trusted?

• Is there missing or erroneous data?

►Are the datasources current?

• They must reflect current conditions.

Geospatial Nexus

Managing the ‘single source of truth’

►Can the datasources be applied in a timely manner throughout the project lifecycle?

• Datasources must be readily available.

• Applicable datasources must be continuous through each project stage

►A Geospatial Repository is needed to support the Geospatial Lifecycle

GAINED KNOWLEDGE

Ignorance is not lack of intelligence; it is lack of knowledge on a particular subject.

Virtualization and multi-dimensional representation reveal knowledge and that knowledge is power to:

►Plan and Execute key physical and functional project characteristics prior to implementation on planned, designed, built and managed environments.

Components of CIM

CIM is comprised of Survey CIM and Site CIM

– Survey CIM: Existing Conditions 3D Model

• 3D surface and subsurface geometric content of existing conditions developed by surveyors.

– Site CIM: Civil/Site 3D Model• Proposed 3D site or infra-

structure design developed by engineers.

Survey CIM

Site CIM

CIM

Survey CIM

Surface Features

•Entails the measurement, modeling and attribution of existing surface features captured by geomatic/survey processes, such as buildings, roads, utility poles, transformers, and fences.

•In addition, the model requires surface features not customarily included in a survey such as trees and overhead wires

Survey CIM

Subsurface Features

►Additional features such as foundations, abutments, piles, piers, tunnels, wells, tanks, abandoned-in-place man-made features, and natural geotechnical features (voids, outcroppings) are incorporated.

Survey CIM

Adequately verifying subsurface utility features requires meeting Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) criteria

What is Subsurface Utility Engineering?

SUE

►An engineering process that establishes a method of discovery and verification of subsurface utility systems.

• It utilizes geophysical technology such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and is guided by CI/ASCE 38-02, which establishes SUE Quality Levels A-D for defining the quality of utility location and the attribute information.

Closer Professional Relationships:

►Architects

►Designers

►Constructors

Greater Interoperability/Coordination

►Workflow

►Lifecycle

Applying an Informed DecisionMaking and Risk Reduction Process Challenge: Projects suffer cost overruns

and time setbacks due to inadequatecoordination of project site designs and building designs or with existing surfaceand subsurface conditions.

Scenario On A Recent Project:

Inadequate coordination resulted in $1 Million in contract modifications

Required time extension for redesign and regrading

Caused significant project delays - 110 days lost

Incurred a 4% increase in project cost!

It Keeps Happening…

Similar financial and schedule impacts happen across the industry on a regular basis

Life-endangering impact can result when safety risks are not identified.

Infrastructure Can Be A Real Mess

What’s The Answer?

These issues can be addressed with an

innovative workflow for minimizing risks

through the proper integration of CIM

and BIM

What’s The Answer?

After all, BIM has been increasing

efficiencies and minimizing design and

construction coordination risk in building

projects for years in the AEC industry

Why not apply a similar process to the

equally important survey capture,

site/building design coordination, and

construction portions of a project?

Workflow For Minimizing Risks

Survey CIM and Site CIM Integration

►Combining the project Survey CIM Model with the proposed Site CIM Model provides a comprehensive project CIM MODEL.

What Can Be Done With a CIM Model?

Every project will encompass either building or site requirements or, most commonly, both. Fortunately, many ‘Model Uses’, defined in the National BIM Standard, can be adopted for CIM, such as:

• Design authoring

• Design reviews

• Interference management

(3D coordination)

• Construction scheduling (4D)

• Cost estimation (5D)

• Existing conditions modeling

• Record modeling

What Can Be Done With a CIM Model?

Additionally, CIM-specific uses in survey, site design, and construction, such as ‘Trench Construction Modeling’ are being employed.

CIM and BIM Integration

Integrating the Survey CIM, Site CIM, and BIM, along with their respective attribution, provides extremely valuable information for the designer, builder, and owner

Increases communication and collaboration


Focused on maximizing project efficiency and coordination

Assists in the planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation of the built environment.

CIM and BIM Integrated Work Process

The process includes two integration phases

►Survey and Site CIM Integration

►CIM and BIM Integration

Survey and Site CIM Integration

Starts with integrating the Surface/ Subsurface Survey 3D Model and the Civil/Site 3D Model

Minimizes the risk of conflicts with undiscovered or forgotten subsurface elements.


Next, there’s a 3-Step Information Exchange

►Initial CIM Survey

►Preliminary Site CIM Design

►Risk Reduction SUE CIM Survey if needed


Step 1 - Initial Survey CIM:

►Review existing record information

►Conduct typical field and aerial surveys, plus vertical measurement, for use in 3D modeling and attribution

►Use traditional utility-locate processes — to SUE Quality Level ‘C’ — to identify utility type and approximate horizontal position


Step 1 continued

►Measure surface-accessible subsurface structures, such as invert elevations of pipes in manholes

►Use record information to supplement 3D modeling and attribution of field-surveyed subsurface features


Step 2 - Preliminary Site CIM Design:

►Develop the Site CIM and Site Data to meet project delivery requirements

►With the Survey and Site CIMs, conduct multidisciplinary design reviews

►As a design team, identify potential conflicts between existing conditions and proposed subsurface utility and foundation designs

• this identifies locations where subsurface conditions need to be identified more accurately


Step 3 - Risk Reduction SUE Survey CIM:

►Perform additional survey for subsurface utilities

• To SUE Quality Level ‘A’, the highest level of accuracy, which identifies type, size, condition, material, etc.

• Only in locations identified by the design team in Step 2

►Use the additional survey information to expand and enhance the Survey CIM as needed


The distinction between the Initial Survey and any follow-on SUE Survey allows the process to be efficient as well as effective

►SUE Quality Level ‘A’ data can be expensive and time-consuming to capture and is generally not needed for the entire site, but only for locations that can be identified by the design team as described in Step 2.


►This empowers the design team, allowing them to request SUE Quality Level ‘A’ data only at those locations deemed most critical.

►This results in more complete CIM development earlier in the design process than ever before, achieving the level of knowledge that effectively reduces risk but with less time and cost than required to survey the entire site to SUE Quality Level ‘A’.


Much like the 3D coordination of building systems with BIM, the CIM and BIM models are integrated to maximize the collaboration and coordination of disciplines

►The fourth step in the Integrated Work Process effectively reduces project risk through the optimal coordination of common site and building systems and structures.


Step 4 - Design and Construction Optimization:

►Allows site designers opportunity to visualize existing and proposed surface and subsurface features, to ensure design intent works in context with the building and site conditions

►Facilitates coordination with BIM during construction

►Supports designer decisions by allowing 3D analysis and cost impact in real time as the BIM and CIM are updated


Application of the CIM and BIM Integration Work Process clearly shows how integrating survey, site, and building models (data and attribute rich) can optimize the coordination of a project.

Improved Decision Making

Poor data quality and missed opportunities to coordinate systems and structures too often result in great cost to project owners. However, surveyors, designers, builders, and owners can use products, processes and policies for Informed Decision Making to better aid them in efficiently and cost-effectively predicting, preventing, and minimizing risk
