    Calling Immersed Tunnel Professionals!

    Do you work on Immersed Tunnel projects? If so, buildingSMART International and the Maritime Domain want to hear from you. We are running a short survey to fully understand how data exchange in immersed tunnel projects is done and what future requirements are. 

     

    The key objectives of the survey are:

    • Better understand how immersed tunnels are delivered today.
    • The role of openBIM and future industry requirements for its practical application.
    • Collect respondents' professional backgrounds, roles, and experience in immersed tunnel projects.
    • The level of maturity for openBIM standards and services like IFC, the bSDD, and IDS.
    • Provide input for bSI to help us prioritize what we should focus on.
    • Inform the Maritime Domain of future project planning.


    If you can spare approximately 5 minutes of your time, we would be very grateful for your insights.
