The Smisto Hydropower project is one of the major new hydropower projects being constructed in Norway since the beginning of the 20th century It comprises two separate high head power plants with low discharge and a large reservoir capacity.
We'll explore the following regarding integrated use of 3D/BIM-models in design and construction through collaboration and innovation in order to achieve working without drawings:ģ. Under an EPC contract arrangement, the continuous interaction between the contractor and the consultant has led to the development and implementation of several BIM-strategies for the engineering, design and construction works with several benefits experienced for the execution of the project. This article focuses on the use of 3D/BIM-models in the design and construction processes, with an emphasis on communicating the design to the contractor for civil and underground works without the use of conventional 2D drawings.
It comprises two individual high head power plants, both with a low discharge and a large reservoir capacity. It has become one of the first projects challenging the traditional use of 2D drawings as a design basis in a project. The Smisto Hydropower project is a new hydropower project currently being constructed in Norway.
