Project 3.27
Using Building Information Modelling (BIM) for
Smarter and Safer Scaffolding Construction
Industry challenge
• Safety risks onsite: There were a total of 445 serious scaffolding-related workers’ compensation claims issued in the Australian construction industry in 2008-09.
• Productivity stagnation: There was an assessment to 1,264 scaffolding
sites nationwide for compliance and found that 40% did not adhere to the legislated scaffolding standards (AS/NZS 1576) and/or jurisdictional regulations

Outcomes BIM Guidelines and Case Studies for Infrastructure (BIM uses)
41 BIM uses are developed for
infrastructural project
• 18 BIM uses in design stage
• 11 BIM uses in construction stage
• 12 BIM uses in operation stage
Outcomes BIM Guidelines and Case Studies for Infrastructure (BIM model development)
LOD0-LOD4 which comes from CityGML standard is useful in infrastructure planning and design stages. However, it is not suitable in construction and operation and maintenance stages. From the lifecycle management perspective, it is necessary to further develop LOD, with LOD5 for the construction stage and LOD6 for the operation and maintenance stage. LOD5 and LOD6 are developed based on Infrastructure Model Element level. LOD5: The Infrastructure Model Element is graphically represented within the model as a specific system, object or assembly in terms of size, shape, location, quantity, and orientation with detailing, fabrication, assembly, and installation information. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element. LOD6: The Infrastructure Model Element is a field verified representation in terms of size, shape, location, quantity, and orientation. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Elements.
Outcomes BIM Guidelines and Case Studies for Infrastructure (BIM model development)
