Bridge Information Modeling--Towards an Industry Exchange Standard [B17]

The use of Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) is being promoted as a technological advancement to the way the bridge engineering community executes workflow and manages data across the full life cycle of bridges. Today, bridge project delivery involves various software applications that support most or all of the activities involved in design and construction. However, there is a need for data interoperability industry standards spanning the entire bridge lifecycle. This session will provide an overview and status of efforts to develop an industry standard. Additionally, an owner/practitioner view of current BrIM technologies (what works, what does not and what is missing) will be provided.
