With the award of this contract, the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge recognises Sorigué’s knowhow and expertise in implementing BIM technology in the water cycle.
The Directorate General for Water in Spain’s Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge has awarded Sorigué the engineering contract for implementing BIM in state-owned dams.
The contract was awarded this March to the group for a 27-month term. It is a €17 million contract divided into 8 lots and Sorigué has been awarded the one concerning the dams of the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation which covers the regions of Andalusia, Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha and Murcia.
The project is part of the Water Cycle Digitalisation Strategic Economic Recovery and Transformation Project which seeks to unlock innovation in the industry and digitalise all information for state-owned dams.
The Water Engineering business line in Sorigué’s Water division will handle analysing and compiling information on the ground, topography, scanning, parameterisation, modelling and development of the BIM models for all the dams in the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation along with training in their implementation and subsequent use.
This award recognises Sorigué’s commitment to developing and implementing BIM in the water industry coupled with its experience in undertaking
hydraulic works projects and services for the upkeep and operation of water cycle infrastructures.
Specialists in BIM
BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology stands out as an effective tool since it simplifies project management by harnessing 3D digital models and saves costs due to its collaborative work system in which planners, architects, engineers, builders and other stakeholders can engage.
In 2016, Sorigué’s Water division began to roll out BIM-based projects in several stages in partnership with other group companies in building, civil engineering, materials and services.
Since then, Sorigué’s partnership with water sector authorities has been constant and it has worked on BIM projects for organisations including the Catalan Water Agency, the ATL, the Barcelona Metropolitan Area, the Besós Tordera Consortium and the Tarragona Water Consortium.
