Digitales Planen, Bauen und Betreiben von Untertagebauten – DAUB‐Empfehlung zu BIM im Untertagebau

The digitalisation of many areas of the economy is progressing, also in construction, where the intention is to provide information about built facilities for decision‐makers concerning the design, building and operation of construction works in a consistently high quality, easily read and data‐based. Until now, digitalisation in construction has been retarded by the high complexity of construction, which should however now rapidly change. The DAUB recommendation ”Digital Design, Building and Operation of Underground Structures“ is intended to make a contribution in this regard. Recommendations from the German Tunnelling Committee DAUB normally represent ”best practice“ solutions from German tunnelling. For Building Information Modelling (BIM) in tunnelling, there is not however yet sufficient experience. There have indeed been many solutions on projects but there is a lack of the appropriate standards for systematically applicable industry‐wide solutions. The DAUB recommendations show how appropriate standards can be created. The following article discusses selected themes from the DAUB recommendations.
