Nagpur : Project management has always been a challenge in India which is evident with delaying of numerous mega projects of the country in the past coupled with overwhelming quality and safety issues. Furthermore, these challenges spill over to the operation and maintenance wings of the projects, shrinking their efficiency and ROIs considerably.
The Nagpur Metro project, however, is set to stand apart as a differentiator in this regard with the implementation of 5D BIM digital project management platform. The platform integrates the benefits of an ERP software like SAP with construction design software and project management software from other tech giants, thus allowing a 5-Dimensional view of the project in near-time. The combined ability of these multiple technology products integrated into a single 5-Dimensional Digital Project Management Platform has played a decisive role in ensuring project delivery timelines and cutting upfront expenditures.
The state-of-the-art metro project is leveraging 5D BIM with SAP ERP supported by Owner’s support office deployed by Highbar Technocrat Limited. The digital platform will capacitate Nagpur Metro to achieve enhanced construction quality, curtailing of construction-related expenditures, comprehensive understanding of the project design and optimized operational efficiencies. The entire ecosystem of Maha Metro including GC, DDC’s and Contractors are using this digital platform.
The metro project stands an ideal specimen, revealing unequaled benefits which mega projects can reap with the early implementation of cutting-edge technology platforms in their budding phase.
While legacy experience reflects that projects of big magnitude and large infrastructural projects take 8-10 years owing to procedural formalities and financial and technical requirements which were processed in a methodical fashion. The introduction of 5D BIM for infra projects has altogether transformed this trend, with projects now meeting stringent deadlines with ease.
