Utilizing BIM Technology in the Design Process of Hydrotechnical and Land Reclamation Facilities

Abstract

Aim of the study: The paper presents the results and experiences related to the use of BIM technology in hydraulic and land reclamation projects. The authors rely on their extensive experience gained from various projects in the field. The article aims to demonstrate modern BIM technology’s potential and possibilities in designing hydraulic and land reclamation structures. Material and methods: The research focuses on areas such as hydrotechnics, land reclamation, embankments, ditches, as well as the use of specific tools and software such as HEC-RAS, Autocad Civil 3D, MacroStacion Inroads, OpenRoads Designer, and Allplan. Combined with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) modelling, BIM technology is crucial in analyzing and designing engineering structures. Results and conclusions: The article discusses the benefits of using BIM technology, such as improved collaboration and data exchange between different disciplines involved in the project, more efficient hydraulic analysis, precise and consistent models, and the ability to visualize projects for better understanding and communication with stakeholders.
