Transportation agencies, including the Federal Highway Administration and several state DOTs, are pushing forward with making Building Information Modeling a bid deliverable and binding reference document for projects. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials is also working on a BIM standard for bridges in conjunction with 15 states.
“The market is exploding,” says Connor Christian, transportation BIM program manager with HDR, which is leading the BIM standard project, due for completion in 2022. “I can think of a dozen projects only using 3D models.”
