Autodesk Deal Expands Balfour Beatty’s BIM Adoption
BY: DUANE CRAIG – MARCH 22ND, 2012
Building information modeling, or BIM, offers construction
an intelligent model–based process for creating and managing building and
infrastructure projects faster, more economically, and with less environmental
impact, according to a joint press release from Balfour Beatty and Autodesk.

BIM appears to be getting great traction in Europe with the UK
government mandating it on all public building projects beginning in 2016. For some time now, Balfour Beatty, an international infrastructure group,
has used Autodesk BIM on a number of high profile projects including the San
Francisco Bay Bridge, the widening of the M25 outside London, and design and
construction for the replacement of Terminal 2 at London Heathrow International
Airport. For the new Terminal 2B, the largest ever airside project at Heathrow,
using BIM helped the company coordinate over 30 active stakeholders through 13
interfacing projects and enabled a peak workforce of 1600 to complete work, including
a 2K diaphragm wall, the largest in Europe, ahead of schedule.
