BC Hydro Adopts BIM and Cloud Collaboration for $16 Billion Dam Project
BC Hydro applied Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, and cloud collaboration to deliver Canada's $16 billion John Horgan Dam, transitioning from 2D design to a federated BIM workflow.
Canada's $16 billion John Horgan Dam and Generating Station transitioned from 2D design to a coordinated BIM environment. Across more than 12 years, the project integrated approximately 165 working models from over 40 companies using Autodesk Revit, Civil 3D, and Navisworks, alongside LiDAR scans and cloud collaboration to coordinate design, concrete lifts, and asset handovers.
Key takeaways
- BC Hydro shifted from 2D AutoCAD to Revit, federating around 165 discipline models across over 40 organizations for clash detection and concrete lift planning.
- The team deployed cloud collaboration in 2018 and used Dynamo scripts to synchronize equipment lists with 3D models for ongoing digital handover.
