What is BIM? What are the benefit and the advantages? How BIM can be used within the geosynthetics industry? How geosynthetics can be incorporated with BIM? This paper will describe the use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) within the geosynthetics industry and how the design with geosynthetics could create an optimized solution, reducing the safety risks and improve the whole-life asset management of the project. The paper will describe the use of BIM in the design of a soil reinforcement ramp approaching an existing Victorian age bridge abutment with a complex geometry. The results presented in this paper extend also the experience and the development of BIM within the geosynthetic industry including some reference and examples.
