Implementación de la metodología BIM (Building Information Modeling) con herramientas de realidad virtual en la fase de diseño para proyectos de subestaciones eléctricas de alta tensión

Abstract

In the research titled Strategic Planning to implement the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology with virtual reality tools in the design phase for High Voltage Electrical Substations projects, the problems associated with this implementation were addressed; highlighting the lack of BIM implementation standards in infrastructure projects, as well as the need to improve the quality and efficiency of detailed and conceptual engineering for high voltage substations. The methodology used was mixed, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods to collect, analyze, and integrate data to address the research problem. An explanatory research design was used to explore causes and effects. The study employs a cross-sectional design, and data collection techniques include literature review and interviews with BIM methodology experts. The main limitations for the implementation of the BIM methodology in the study area are the lack of software tools, unqualified or specific human capital, and the absence of a BIM Manager to lead all BIM processes. The implementation should be led by a person with holistic knowledge, experience, and does not necessarily have to be an electrical engineer, regardless of age. Leadership skills are important. It is important to consider the appropriate hardware and software requirements (open source) for each discipline within the project, allowing interoperability with clients and team members. In terms of strategic planning, it is essential to define BIM requirements, roles and responsibilities, and quality management parameters. Standardizing workflows, communication strategies, and creating manuals and guidelines are also important for a successful BIM implementation. It is crucial to evaluate potential risks and impacts that software licenses, new hires, and the learning curve during implementation may have. In conclusion, a comprehensive approach that encompasses technology, human resources, and strategic planning is required to ensure efficient and effective project development.
