Asset Management
Asset Management
Masera Engineering Group has developed over the years expertise in how infrastructure should be maintained and preserved over time. Adequate maintenance requires adequate monitoring, and to do so it is necessary that all business processes, functions, and tools involved can be integrated to the best of their capacity. Asset management activities begin with the field-based inspection of infrastructure in order to arrive at the definition and planning of maintenance and to identify, through LCC (Life Cycle Cost) analysis, the best maintenance strategies to be applied during the life cycle of individual structures.
- Artwork inspections;
- compilation of defect sheets;
- maintenance planning;
- installation of monitoring systems and data analysis.
I-BIM
Infrastructure-Building Information Modeling (I-BIM) is the digital management system for infrastructure construction information processes now in widespread use in companies. The benefits collected by Masera Engineering Group included having a tool for interaction between all disciplines and sharing information at all levels of design, so that the work is always on track and synergistic. A fluidity of sharing could be experienced, which is an added benefit in facilitating dialogue and stakeholder feedback.
BIM, parametric engineering and interoperability with FEM
Parametric engineering involves the creation of a flexible geometric model that incorporates parameters and numerical relationships between them using visual programming codes. Repetitive operations are automatized, allowing the model to be updated by changing input data. Therefore, the parametric model becomes an optimal framework that offers multiple solutions based on the values imposed for each parameter, without the need to redefine the model. Through the parametric approach, a complete workflow is defined that allows the development of both the FEM model for structural analysis and the BIM model with geometric and nongeometric information. This methodology ensures the interaction and synchronization of both models.
