By the end of the PennDOT's initiative in 2025, it expects to have the ability for all its projects to be bid and constructed using 3D technology. "The Digital Delivery Directive 2025 Initiative is the department's top transformative effort currently underway," said Allen Melley, chief of PennDOT's digital delivery section. "We view this effort as a game changer in the way we conduct business. This will provide the department the ability to provide higher quality designs, increased construction efficiency, reduce project costs, and the ability to track assets that we were unable to easily track previously." PennDOT is among a growing number of state DOTs moving forward with model-based deliverables. About a third of state DOTs now require a for-information-only BIM model on projects. And some states have gone further, making the model the primary contractual document and in many cases eliminating selected 2D plan sheets. Nine states have completed, or are in the middle of, pilot projects that use a model as the signed and sealed legal document. |
