Key words: building information model, 3D simulation, facility life cycle
In order to evaluate application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for the facilities of Samaraneftegas JSC, SamaraNIPIneft LLC has completed a project to design the information model of an existing facility to minimize risks during implementation of the innovative procedure. The change-over from design paradigm to application of an information model will inevitably require more effective and more complete interaction between the Customer and the Contractor and this will finally enable further EPCM contract idea development and will make it realized.
