Implementación de la metodología bim (building information modeling) como herramienta para el control del proceso constructivo en la ampliación de la clínica cancerológica de Boyacá

Abstract

The professional practice in the expansion of the Boyacá cancer clinic in the operating room, ICU and hospitalization services had a dynamic and precise focus, taking into account that the advances in the construction sector have been neglecting the use of 2D tools. and also due to the implementation of the BIM methodology. The proposal for the implementation of BIM tools arises from the need to coordinate all the specialties handled during the execution of the project, based on frequent errors in the elaboration of 2D designs and conventional construction. The start of work was marked by the development of 3D models in Revit, based on the 2D plans of each specialty, from where precise data about the volumes of concrete to be used in each programmed melt, it was also possible to verify that the geometry of the elements was in accordance with the provisions of the designs. The supervision of work activities and technical support was the first step in the construction process of the structural part of the project. The main focus of the implementation of BIM methodology was made in the part of MEP facilities (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing), because the systems involved in a clinic are more pronounced than any other infrastructure work. From the 3D models in Revit and the coordination of all the specialties in Navisworks, work began first with the placement of the hydrosanitary and electrical networks. Then, air conditioning networks (HVAC) were installed, which have the characteristic of being large. Continuing with the provision in the coordination of systems, the placement of the fire network, gas network and hydraulic networks (cold water and hot water) was made, and thus achieve an optimal general system, taking into account that they were resolved the collisions generated in the 2D designs and the specialties were coordinated millimeter by millimeter, guaranteeing that the systems did not cross at any point of the project. The advantages of using BIM tools in the construction process of the project were established, where emphasis is placed on recommending this type of methodologies for any type of civil works project, being clear from the beginning where you want to go and that the product is the expected and planned from the beginning in the execution of the project. The software tools used were AutoCAD 2D, Revit (Architecture, Structure and MEP), Navisworks Manage and Excel, each involved in controlling the project's construction process.
