Bridge Dufourstrasse - Using BIM for managing existing structures

The BIM pilot project Dufourstrasse, initiated by the Department of Construction of the Canton of Zurich (Switzerland), delves into the potential of BIM for managing existing infrastructure.

It discusses the relevant attributes of existing structures, their necessary representations and content for maintenance planning.

Moreover, it seeks to understand how information on damages, results from condition assessments, monitoring, and structural analyses can be effectively utilized to enable efficient and sustainable infrastructure management.

The presented Dufourstrasse project serves as an illustrative example showcasing the future trajectory of digitalization in bridge condition and structural assessments.
