Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a method that emphasizes object-based data management, communication, and collaboration among all project participants throughout the entire lifecycle of a system. It is becoming an international standard for large-scale construction and infrastructure projects. Although BIM is gaining traction in the wastewater industry, the literature on its application in this field is still limited. This research, through expert interviews and literature review, explores the extent to which BIM has been introduced in the sewage industry and the associated opportunities and challenges. Initial projects in wastewater management using BIM include the construction and development of sewage treatment plants and special structures. Planning offices are leading the way in adopting BIM, supported by catalogs of industry-specific objects, clear definitions of responsibilities, and the potential for enhanced operation of sewage systems. Some users have already recognized the benefits of BIM and adjusted their processes accordingly. BIM’s object-oriented modeling improves the visualization of construction projects and processes, offering significant advantages in model-based plan derivation and mass determination. It also focuses on the collection, exchange, and storage of relevant data, which can benefit the entire wastewater industry. The research confirms that BIM adds value to wastewater management, especially since infrastructure is often difficult to access post-construction and knowledge about the systems is typically limited to those involved in the construction phase. However, to fully and effectively utilize BIM, further improvements are necessary. This requires intensive collaboration among project participants, software producers, and customers. The integration of BIM in wastewater management holds promise, but its successful implementation depends on overcoming current challenges and enhancing the method through collective effort.
