May 18 - BIM for Risk Management on Mega Projects

Presented by Dennis Shelden, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer, Gehry Technologies and Tarek Bahgat, Vice President, Gehry Technologies

**Recipient of the 2009 CETI Award in Scenario-based Project Planning

The project demonstrates value planning coupled with an ongoing Risk Management Program at The Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center (LMCCC). It involves the use and implementation of VDC/BIM to facilitate risk modeling and management on the reconstruction at the WTC site, and is an example of the extension of BIM into a truly integrated practice.

The LMCCC team is demonstrating the ability of BIM to be applied to mega projects through the technological facility to accommodate thousands of objects and thousands of associated tasks. We are witnessing the team deliver BIM at scales encompassing the city and the extension of BIM into an integrated practice for risk management and mitigation. While the core value of BIM is in coordination and visibility, the team and the GT process have begun to reveal a future for BIM implementations: project optimization for complex risk analysis and mitigation. The LMCCC project is a prime example of the value BIM can have for the managing of complex multi-party iterative processes; for reinforcing the value of collaboration; for risk management and mitigation; and finally for value planning.
