Traditionally, the concept of building information modeling (BIM) has been applied to buildings. But it can be applied to all things built, horizontal and vertical.rnIn highway engineering, the model acts as a repository and source of project information. Planners, engineers, contractors, and owners use it throughout an asset's entire lifecycle - from conceptual design, detailed design, and construction to operations, maintenance, and asset management - to access coordinated, consistent data that can be continuously improved in quality and detail. Information isn't translated or watered down; it's simply created, updated, and used to improve downstream data quality.
