Abstract
The Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology is spreading across the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. The need of leaner processes from the concept to the execution of projects are opening space for this approach. One of the advantages of BIM methodology is an early coordination and communication among the different project’s stakeholders, a key issue for the geotechnical project where uncertainty is high. This case study approaches the use of BIM for a geotechnical project of an excavation for a residential tower in the center of Lisbon, with a deployment area of 4600 m and a maximum excavation depth of 17.60 m. The solution proposed was a Bored Pile Wall (BPW) system with anchors and bracing slab stripes. The solution was modeled coordinated with the 3D BIM model from the architecture and was then exported to a soil analysis numerical software and a structural analysis software to improve the solution proposed.
