Implementación BIM en el Proyecto de la Subestación Nro 77 y Bodega de Almacenamiento – Tabacundo

Abstract

The implementation of the BIM methodology is proposed for a civil engineering project, with the objective of demonstrating the benefits that this methodology provides to the planning, management, and control of the project. The project involves the design of a Compact Substation, a storage warehouse, and a security gatehouse, with a total construction area of approximately 1,800 m², located in Tabacundo, Pedro Moncayo canton. These facilities are intended to improve the reliability of the electrical sub-transmission system. The adopted configuration integrates a warehouse for the storage and maintenance of electrical equipment, optimizing operational management and response capacity in the event of contingencies within the distribution network. The substation will be built with a mixed structure (steel and reinforced concrete), while the warehouse will have a steel structure. Both facilities will include electrical and plumbing systems, and the sector has the necessary infrastructure to guarantee the required basic services. The implementation of the BIM methodology will increase efficiency in project development, facilitating the early detection and resolution of conflicts during the different phases of the project. In addition, the generated models will provide reliable information for measurements and quantity take-offs, contributing to the optimization of time and costs during the construction stage
