From BIM to digital twin: the (real) benefits of the digital model for construction

Just like good old vinyl records, our newsletter is now available in two sides: the A-Side provides a choice of articles revolving around a central theme that is changing the way we design, build and operate cities and infrastructure, and the B-Side (in a fortnight) provides suggestions for further readings on the same topic.

The digital model has proven essential, from the design to the operation of buildings. Beyond BIM, now stands the Building Operating System and the digital twin, a living and evolving model inspired by the industry. What are the challenges and future uses of digital in construction? Will the digital twin be a trustworthy ally in reducing the environmental impact of construction? How will it help improve the smart city?

Analysis

Environmental impact from design to operation, the real challenge of the digital twin

Digital tech has taken over the construction industry: while BIM has left its mark on a whole range of projects, the digital twin – a living avatar of a building – wants to help improve the construction industry’s carbon footprint.

Projection

When smart buildings lead to smart cities

Forget excessive, impractical projects, the pandemic offers the perfect opportunity for rethinking the smart city in a pragmatic way, using connected objects and digital twins wisely.

Opinion

[conversation] Caroline Reminy, Head of BIM Engineering, VINCI construction France

A growing number of VINCI projects are using BIM-lead environments on their work sites. What’s more, BOS tools are on the increase and the digital twin is building a desirable future for itself. While digital mock-ups in construction have already proved their worth, there is still significant room for improvement, considers Caroline Reminy, Head of BIM Engineering at VINCI construction France.
