The use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) by the construction industry in Germany has grown considerably in the past years and will soon become mandatory for all infrastructure projects. Using GeoDesign methods to bring geographic analysis into design and planning processes, PSU Environmental Consulting Office integrated BIM and GIS data in the ArcGIS Platform and tested practical applications in the areas of civil engineering (Autobahn A99 expansion) and urban utilities infrastructure.
