STATEMENT:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This interesting <strong>TFM<\/strong> This guide, prepared by our alumnus Emilio Camino, explains how to approach a modeling strategy for road construction projects by proposing a modeling structure and testing the IFC's functionalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proyecto_TFM_Estrategia_de_modelado_para_obras_viales\"><\/span>Master's Thesis Project: Modeling Strategy for Road Construction Projects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the <strong>BIM methodology<\/strong> It has seen widespread adoption around the world and is even recognized as a key tool in national policies for the execution of public works projects, including those of <strong>construction<\/strong> as well as <strong>infrastructure<\/strong>. In this regard, there are countries that already consider it mandatory for the implementation of projects. However, this is not uniformly the case in all countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Argentina, although there has been momentum since 2017 with the creation of the BIM Implementation System (SIBIM) and documents, pilot projects, and various adoption plans have been developed, BIM requirements are not yet included in either public or private tenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Argentina's National Highway Administration\u2014the government agency responsible for the construction and maintenance of all the country's highways\u2014implementation began in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the course of each of the case studies and pilot projects, it became clear that one of the key aspects of this type of infrastructure project lies in the <strong>modeling strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a <strong>road construction,<\/strong> Information from the model will often need to be transferred from one software application to another, and in many cases, there is no automated process for doing so. This highlights the importance of carefully planning the strategy to be used to avoid data loss or compatibility issues while the model is under development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, another key aspect for both public and private organizations is the ability to use <strong>open formats<\/strong>. This refers to the ability to use any brand when creating a model, as well as enabling the public sector to save on licensing costs by using open-source software, which are key factors in implementing BIM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, when it comes to road construction, as well as <strong>other infrastructure<\/strong>, these open formats are currently under development. This does not mean that we cannot work with what is already available, but rather that we should focus on and study in detail the existing possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, this paper aims to address the two topics mentioned above by proposing a<strong>a modeling framework<\/strong> and checking <strong>IFC features for road construction projects.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Descripcion_del_proyecto\"><\/span><strong>Project Description<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The assignment involves creating a preliminary design model for an urban road project in the city of Sarand\u00ed, Argentina, using BIM methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"530\" height=\"308\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.structuralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ilustracion-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.structuralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ilustracion-1.jpg 530w, https:\/\/blog.structuralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ilustracion-1-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 1 \u2013 Context of the Project to Be Carried Out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">To that end, a bridge will be built to <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">connect the roundabout in the commercial area to the residential area<\/span> (yellow arrow), creating another roundabout on the opposite bank of the Sarand\u00ed Creek and connecting from there to the various city streets.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">It is therefore proposed that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">create the digital terrain model<\/span>, the various lanes and the roundabout, the overpass, as well as the cross-drainage works and signage, obtaining the quantity takeoffs from that model and preparing a simplified BEP explaining how the BIM model was created using the templates from <span style=\"color: #2d8bff;\">SIBIM Argentina<\/span> and, finally, generate the deliverables in IFC format, evaluating the capabilities of this format based on the progress made to date.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consideraciones_previas\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

therefore, all development was carried out using that company\u2019s software.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">That is why the conclusions and the validity of the proposal presented here are based on the possibilities offered by these programs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">However, there are others\u2014which have different strengths and limitations and function differently\u2014that must be analyzed in detail in order to develop an alternative modeling strategy and evaluate the functionalities of IFCs;
