BIM application workshop in National Power Transmission Corporation 

On 31 March 2023, in Khanh Hoa, National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) held a workshop on "Implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in EVNNPT".

EVNNPT assigned the Central Power Projects Management Board (CPMB) in coordination with the 

Power Transmission Company 3 to hold the workshop. Mr. Nguyen Tuan Tung - Chairman of the EVNNPT Member Board chaired the workshop. Leaders of EVNNPT, leaders of units under EVNNPT, Consulting units, and Construction units that are partners of EVNNPT attended the workshop.

Implementing the policy of applying BIM in construction investment projects, EVNNPT has also assigned CPMB to select two projects: the Duy Xuyen 220kV substation (Quang Nam province) and Krong Ana 220kV substation and the connection line (Dak Lak province) to organize the pilot implementation of BIM application at EVNNPT. At the same time, EVNNPT has also issued a request document to the project management boards and consulting units to implement the survey model, and 3D design in the process of documenting construction investment projects, step by step applying the BIM model in construction investment, management and operation of transmission grid projects.

However, the implementation of BIM application up to now still has many barriers. Through this workshop, EVNNPT received analysis and assessment of the advantages, as well as the shortcomings and limitations in the process of applying BIM in the past time; At the same time, receiving comments and suggestions from experts and units attending the workshop, to contribute to the orientation of building a roadmap to apply BIM for construction investment projects in EVNNPT in the near future.

Some of the main topics discussed at the workshop: "Report on the implementation results of 2 BIM pilot application projects" presented by CPMB, " None imaging aerial survey technology" by Power Engineering Consulting Joint Stock Company 4  presented, "BIM for design work (substation part) - Overview of Autodesk's general BIM software" presented by Power Engineering Consulting Joint Stock Company 5, " BIM for design work (power line part)" presented by Power Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company 1, "Legal basis and roadmap for BIM application" presented by Power Engineering Consulting Joint Stock Company 3, "Proposing the process of applying shared data sharing software (CDE) for stakeholders, level of detail (LOD) for BIM design stages and software for collecting and building databases (Scan to BIM) for transmission grid projects" presented by Power Engineering Consulting Joint Stock Company 2, "Application of 3D survey technology and BIM information modeling in 110kV project" presented by the Southern Power Consulting Company, "Application of software to design construction drawings of steel pipes and single-body tower" and "Application of BIM at PC1" presented by PC1 Group Joint Stock Company.

Mr. Nguyen Tuan Tung - Chairman of the EVNNPT Member Board said: It is necessary to apply the BIM model to construction investment projects, making it easy to exchange information and coordinate among stakeholders, in order to improve design quality, limiting errors in the construction process, thereby helping to optimize project investment costs, and at the same time in line with the general requirements of the Government in the coming time. Meeting the BIM application roadmap will need to be implemented sequentially in each step, from the design, construction, and handover of the information model for operation management to meet the set goals.

From 2023, the application of BIM is mandatory for grade I and special grade works of new construction investment projects using public investment capital. In fact, the application still has many obstacles, so the EVNNPT will submit to the competent authorities to facilitate the smooth application of BIM.
