TECHNICAL FEATURES
Communities (BIM4s, Regions and Affiliates) including other forums at home and abroad.”
In closing:
Dr Anne Kemp OBE Chair of UK BIM Alliance (Technical Director Atkins) –
by their companies. In particular Arup, who provided resources to facilitate the workshops and create the Roadmap for publication. BIM4Water also received fantastic support from the experts at the Centre for Digital Build Britain (CDBB) in providing technic assistance and ensuring alignment with their own work. The production of the Roadmap was overseen by British Water to ensure we acted with transparency. A real Team effort!”
BIM4Water Vice-Chair, Clare Kovacs (National Rehearsal Lead MWH Treatment) continues:
“We initially worked with CDBB, myself, Jamie and the BIM4Water Steering Group, to agree there should be five core workstreams to achieve a desired end- goal, and that this outcome would complement our existing mission and also align to a Roadmap vision for BIM4Water:
BIM4Water Roadmap Workstreams:
1) Digital Transformation 2) Knowledge 3) Leadership 4) Communication 5) Governance
BIM4Water Roadmap End Goal 2026:
BIM4Water want to achieve a “golden thread” of information / granularity of all data throughout all governing stages of project delivery, from initiation to operability. Also targeting academia ensuring we capture the feed point and skill requirements of the industry ensuring successor planning for the future.
FOLLOW US BIM4Water Roadmap Vision:
To enable the water industry to digitally transform achieving high performing asset project delivery from strong collaborative foundations to integrate communication, transparent data management and integration, promoting smarter and more sustainable choices, ultimately helping the customer.
With agreed workstreams and a clear end goal, we enlisted support from the CDBB experts to assist both the Steering Group and leaders from all the Task Groups in a series of workshops to define and agree the key areas of deliverables for the next five years, and how these will support the overall BIM4Water objectives. With support from the team at Arup, these were aligned, finding synergies and common drivers across the Task Groups. In doing this, we were able to identify key milestones within the relevant workstream and against programme delivery dates. To monitor progress on the delivery of the Roadmap we have monthly reporting meetings so we can review and monitor our progress against our targets.
In doing all this, we strengthened collaboration across the Task Groups and created a shared vision for our industry. What I find personally impressive is how the Roadmap workstreams come together to set a clear direction to drive change and make a difference. This is something the water sector should be proud of and we will share with other sectors through the UK BIMAlliance
“The way that BIM4Water organizes itself – and the roadmap in itself - is a great working example for all the BIM4’s. Increasingly as the UK BIMFramework sets the overarching agenda, individual sectors need to be driving an agenda for change. Sharing and documenting our learnings is a vital part of helping the industry as a whole to progress – no mean feat which none of us under- estimate. The BIM4Water Roadmap presents shared challenges and as such I am sure we will all benefit from its insights. Many thanks to all those involved in this important work – the Alliance as a whole looks forward to supporting BIM4Water as it progresses through the roadmap. Working together, we certainly aim to support as much of the industry as we possibly can, in the most practical terms!”
Mark Enzer OBE, Head of National Digital Twin Programme (CTO Mott MacDonald) –
“I’m really excited to see how BIM4Water plan to advance the benefits of BIMin creating robust information models and then progressing that agenda towards interoperable data sharing and supporting a national digital twin. Working with CDBB has already had a positive impact on that journey and will inevitably create value for the industry. I admire how the water industry is pulling together towards a shared end vision.”
Dr Matthew West OBE, Technical Lead – National Digital Twin Programme (Founder Information Junction)
“BIM4Water is a leading example of sector collaboration and clearly recognizes the importance of developing a solid foundation to an industry framework for secure data sharing. This will ensure that in the future the right information can be made available at the right time, to the right people and that the data shared is fit-for-purpose. The BIM4Water Roadmap and task groups present a coherent direction for delivering this.”
