From page 75...
... 75 Prior sections have reviewed the basic framework of the BIM process and how airports can evaluate using BIM to improve their O&M. This section will address the underlying design requirements for a BIM system: the asset data schema and the interfaces necessary to fully support its collaborative benefits.
From page 76...
... 76 BIM Beyond Design Guidebook the collection of required data within each life cycle phase. Designers can more fully integrate constructability and maintainability requirements early in the process, where such integration can have the largest effect on reducing the overall life cycle cost of the facility.
From page 77...
... BIM Implementation -- Technical Architecture 77 While these applications are designed to manage large amounts of facility data, the complexity of facility management will only increase over time. The information revolution has produced an exponential growth in the facility data collected.
From page 78...
... 78 BIM Beyond Design Guidebook in most cases, this can include billions of separate points, each with unique coordinates. Although laser scanning sounds time consuming, it is a relatively rapid process (it is possible to scan a 2,000 sf room within 5 to10 minutes, depending on the complexity of the room layout)
From page 79...
... BIM Implementation -- Technical Architecture 79 Regardless of the types of data formats an organization settles on as its standard, a stand-alone open BIM server will provide the organization with the greatest flexibility in supporting existing and future data requirements. 7.5 CMMS/EAM Previous sections have explained the wide variety of BIM uses or applications available during the facility asset life cycle.

... 80 BIM Beyond Design Guidebook 7.8 BIM Application Map An application architecture map is shown in Figure 7-4 that illustrates how data flow from the BIM to the various application types that may exist within the airport. As noted previously, the BIM interfaces with external applications through the following mechanisms: • Export of IFC Extensible Markup Language (IFCXML)
