Infrastructure and innovation: the importance of BIM in the design and maintenance of works
President Sgambati's speech at Abruzzo Economy Summit
President Umberto Sgambati spoke at the “Infrastructure and Innovation” round table on the first working day of the fourth edition of the Abruzzo Economic Summit, the major national event dedicated to the economy, growth and development of the region and the country.
Sgambati stressed the importance of BIM (Building Information Modelling), defining it not only as an operational tool, but also as a collaborative model: “The design of new major works, as well as the maintenance of existing ones, has become more complex and diversified today, requiring greater attention to sustainability and other critical factors. The real challenge is to integrate the various skills and contributions required, and this is where BIM stands out as an innovation that is not only technological, but above all cultural”.
