BIM implimentation in infrastructure project: A case study of Gaziantep underground project

Project management process of infrastructure projects in public institutions is managed by traditional construction methods. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an innovative project management approach to integrate the planning, design, construction, and operation of a building in 3D and beyond. The integration and implementation of public projects into BIM-based project management processes will facilitate the management of transportation projects from the design stage to the operating process. The aim of this study is to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of developing effective BIM application methods in Gaziantep Underground project, which is a public project. It is aimed to investigate its usability in other public projects. BIM applications in infrastructure projects around the world have provided significant benefits in project management and field applications. The hypothesis in this study is that the BIM application to be applied correctly in a local public project will be an exemplary application in public projects at national level and in infrastructure projects for the private sector. Project method case study and quantitative methods will be applied. BIM applications enabled us to obtain information and performance based structures. Made significant contributions in terms of time and budget.
