Assessment of the importance and frequency of information modeling (BIM) for components in electric transmission projects in Vietnam

Abstract

This study evaluates the significance and usage frequency of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for essential components in Vietnam’s transmission projects. By synthesizing insights from expert surveys across design, construction, and operational stages with a detailed case analysis, the research identifies priority elements for BIM adoption and examines critical drivers and barriers affecting implementation. Key findings highlight BIM’s capacity to enhance interdisciplinary coordination, optimize construction workflows, and improve lifecycle data management. The paper concludes by proposing a structured framework and practical guidelines for data governance to support effective and scalable BIM integration in the transmission sector.
