Establishment

• The Infrastructure interest group for bSI

• Setup in 2013

• An open forum and interest group welcoming users and technical interests.

• Recognises the need for neutral geometric and semantic data model for infrastructure.

• Governs the development of international open standards based on bSI principles.

• Now the largest and most active of bSI Rooms

Mission

To combine, enhance and develop open standards for intelligent data, which enable process and data integration for Infrastructure

Governance

• Managed by a steering committee - InfraCom

• Chaired by Christophe Castaing from France and Henk Shaap from the Netherlands

• Projects managed by Project Steering Committee• Benno Koehorst - Rijkwatersaat Netherlands

• Mikael Malmkvist – Trafikverket – Sweden

• Tiina Perttula – Finnish Transport Agency

• Christophe Castaing - InfraCom

• Henk Shaap - InfraCom

• Richard Kelly – bSI Director of Operations

InfraRoom Project Governance

• Project Board

• Sponsor led management

• Monthly Combined Project Progress Meetings

• Published Project Dashboards

Standards Process & Introducing a PAS Process

Current InfraRoom Projects (1)

• Alignment 1.0 • Completed 2015• Jointly developed with OGC

• Alignment 1.1• Funded and underway and progressing well • Completion 2016• Jointly Developed with OGC

• Alignment Deployment• Seeking Pilot Project Sponsors• Current pilot sponsorship from Trafikverket and RWS• Current software vendor support from Trimble (Tekla, Via Nova)

Current InfraRoom Projects (2)

• Overall Architecture – Fundamental Infra Baseline Extensions• Designed to provide underlying common extensions to support infrastructure

• Recognises the objects such as surfaces that Infra requires

• Will provide basis for international road, rail and LandInfra developments

• Working with OGC to incorporate their LandInfra Concept Models

• Funded and underway

• Progressing well first phase report complete with agreed use cases

• Due for completion this year

Current InfraRoom Projects (3)

• Asset Managers Requirements• Designed to understand and provide requirements for life cycle asset

management

• Capturing the information required by asset owners and managers

• Funded and Underway

• Ten client organisations being questioned and surveyed (room for more)

• Reporting results in September

Other InfraRoom Activities

• IFC Bridge in Planning but not Funded aim to be fast tracked if possible

• Joint MOU with OGC to develop in parallel and support requirements

• Agreement to publish China Rail BIM IFC as a PAS

• Agreement to publish Korean Roads IFC as a PAS

Rotterdam April 2016 Summit

• 175 people

• 8400 hours worked

• Rooms• Building room

• Infrastructure Room

• Product Room

• Regulatory

• Technical

• Strategic Activities• Design for Manufacturing

Increasing Client Need/Interest China BIM Rail Alliance • 30,000 kilometres of railway to be

laid in the next four years in a

digital environment.

Rijkswaterstaat

• Construction only visits Infrastruture and

buildings; Operation and Maintenance

takes much longer

• Data- and Information is created at

construction, but not all data in BIM

models are needed during AM

• Data in different (old) systems hard to

transfer, so bSI open standards help!

• Data-delivery after and before construction

is not cost efficient (information loss

occurs)

InfraRoomOutputs and Resolutions

bSI spring summit 2016Rotterdam

Overall Architecture

• The InfraRoom agrees upon & accepts the 14 Use Cases presented.

• The InfraRoom supports the continuing collaboration between the Overall Archticture project and the InfraRoom working groups: Bridge, Road and Railway, to define commonly used data structures & prepare the guidelines.

• The InfraRoom demands the continuing collaboration between the Overall Architecture project and OGC.

OGC related developments

• The InfraRoom appreciates the work of OGC in the development of LandInfra and recognizes it as an appropriate basis for ongoing collaboration on the bSI and OGC common conceptual model.

Alignment 1.1 & Deployment

• The InfraRoom appreciates the progress by the Alignment 1.1 Project Team and Expert Panel.

• The InfraRoom encourages the implementation of the Alignment 1.0 standard by software vendors and underlines future downward compatibility.

Asset management requirements

• The InfraRoom appreciates the Introductory presentation on the Infra Asset management Requirement Definition.

• The InfraRoom encourages members to provide contact details for appropriate Asset Managers to commit to correspond, answer surveys, and develop requirements.

Resolution IFC Bridge

• The InfraRoom supports the fast track approach, as requested in Singapore.

Resolutions Roads & Railways

• The InfraRoom welcomes the work of China Railway BIM Alliance and supports the development and publication of a bSI PAS.

• The InfraRoom welcomes the work of KICT and supports the development and publication of a bSI PAS.

• The InfraRoom welcomes the contribution of CRBA to the Overall Architecture project and to IFC Alignment 1.1.

• OOPS: The InfraRoom supports the change in focus of the first step of IFC Roads and Railways development, whereby the efforts made by the Overall Architecture project will be used and focus will be placed on defining the work modules and the development plan.

Future Directions

• The InfraRoom advises bSI to extend the MOU between bSI and OGC to incorporate the future directions, such as “recommendation of OGC on city interoperability development”.

Future Directions (2)

The InfraRoom resolves to initiate work on the following items as part of the Workplan 2017:

- Investigate strategy for integration of linked data technology

- Ongoing joint development with OGC of a common conceptual model for infrastructure

- Development of MVD’s for life cycle phases with specific disciplines

- Need for standards for Library information structure, as well as access and interlinking protocols.

Its time to get serious about Open BIM

• The demand is high and increasing

• bSI InfraRoom has built the supporting structure for development

• Funding currently coming from a few client sponsors

• Development can be accelerated with funding

• Clients need to get involved
