Bases
 Co-created using experiences from all
stakeholders in InfraFIMBIM
 Hands-on experience, test and feed
back in pilot projects
 As a template Common BIM
Requirements 2012 from
buildingSMART Finland.
 Experiencies from other countries (f.ex.
HB 138 from Norway)

Common InfraBIM Requirements
InfraBIM-classification
• Extention of Common National Infra
Classification
• InfraBIM Terminology Format

InfraBIM-guidelines
• What and how to model in different
phases

Inframodel-format Classification Guidelines

• LandXML-based
• Inframodel3

InfraBIM Classification
 Extends the extisting classification (product elements in
the main level)
 Construction layers of roads, streets and railways
 Pipenetworks, equimpment:
properties/attributes/enumerations

Esim.: 21210 Jakava kerros, yläpinta

The Common InfraBIM Guidelines
Yleiset InfraBIM-tietomalliohjeet
1. Management of a InfraBIM project 1. Tietomallipohjaisen hankkeen johtaminen
2. General requirements 2. Yleiset vaatimukset
3. Initial State Modelling 3. Lähtötiedot, Lähtötietomalli
4. Modelling in different project phases 4. Mallinnus hankkeen eri vaiheissa
5. Discipline models; earth, rock, ground, 5. Rakennemallit; tekniikkamallit; maa-,
pavement and surface structures (RO pohja- ja kalliorakenteet, päällys- ja
1000-2000) pintarakenteet (RO 1000-2000)
6. Discipline models, utilities and equipment 6. Rakennemallit; tekniikkamallit,
(RO 3000) järjestelmät (RO 3000)
7. Discipline models: bridges and other civil 7. Rakennemallit; tekniikkamallit; sillat ja
engineering structures (RO 4000) muut rakennustekniset rakennusosat (RO
4000)
8. Quality assurance 8. Inframallin laadunvarmistus
9. Quantity take off and cost calculations 9. Määrälaskenta, kustannusarviot
10. Visualization 10. Havainnollistaminen
11. Utilization of models in different design 11. Tietomallinnuksen hyödyntäminen eri
phases, construction and O&M stages suunnitteluvaiheissa, rakentamisessa, sekä
käytössä ja ylläpidossa

1. Management of InfraBIM project
 Description of BIM process (compared to
document based)
 Modelling does not change the procurement
process itself.
 BIM plan based on the desin plan, design
principles and common modelling
guidelines
 Copyright questions: which material
submitted, in what form, what are rights of
use
 Precion levels and principles of modelling in
different phases

2. Common requirements
 Definitions  Main requirements for application or
system
 Applications and formats
 Has to use and produce models in open
 Coordinates and units model-based formats
 Other standards and guidelines  The formats are Inframodel or IFC
 BIM roles and tasks  The models and information have to based
to the InfraBIM Classification and
 Publishing Guidelines
 Model Documentation

3. Initial State Model
 Initial data in the project area
harmonized for modelling purpose
 A process to document, divide,
harmonize and manage initial data
 Is prodused early enough in the
beginning phase and then updated
into the next phase.
 Without any loss of relevant data

Discipline models
• 5. earth, rock, ground, pavement and surface
structures
• Product model for construction created from the
design model
• Unify model from different sofwares
• Direct to use of machine control systems
• Accuracy and continuity of geometry
• Naming convensions
• Guide and tool for designer and customer

Discipline models
6. Discipline models, utilities and equipment
(RO 3000)
 Big amount different types and
properties

7. Discipline models: bridges and other civil

engineering structures (RO 4000)
 Core from Bridge Modelling Guidelines
of Finnish Transport Agency (4.4.2011,
next ver. 12/2013)

4. Modelling in different project phases

 One of most challenging parts
 Precision and principles of modelling

 8. Quality assurance
9. Quantity take-off and cost calculations

 Quality
 Tecnical content
 Information content
 Quality of the whole model

 Quantities and costs

 Requirements for models
 Different project phases
 Calculation processes
 Automatic quantity take-off
 Common Infra Classification
 Visualization

Visualization of models

• Technical visualization
• Presentative visualization

• Challenges
- State of object: intial – design – as built
- Different disciplines
- Different Phases
- Accuracy – usure data/information
- What should be guideline, what
requierment

Summary
• Procedures and practices were harmonized
in design and construction
• Common understanding about the
modelling has increased

 Writing requirements and guidelines is a

big challenges

 Guidelines will be
 published by Building Information Ltd. (RTS)
 maintained as effort of buildingSMART Finland
 developed further as common efforts
