New recommendations for CDE in infra project management discussed

Information technology can help a construction project run more smoothly, keep costs under control, and cut down on errors significantly. By creating a single source for sharing construction data with various stakeholders, the Common Data Environment addresses the issue of data adoption errors. Additionally, this facilitates the collaborative approach to work that is essential for the successful completion of an infrastructure project.

If a building is conceived virtually prior to construction, it may be much easier to clearly visualise issues with its planning, design, construction, coordination, and other related aspects. Through building information modelling, information technology has helped building planners, architects, and engineers comprehend, anticipate, and propose a plausible solution to these issues.

The Common Data Environment (CDE) centralised data storage reduces the likelihood of data redundancy and guarantees constant access to current data. In addition, the CDE facilitates model information aggregation, increases information reusability, and serves as a central archive for documentation all at once. Building Information Modelling (BIM)-based collaborative processes should be carried out on this platform because it is accessible to all project participants.

The timely delivery of the undistorted vast amount of digital data that is required during construction to the various stakeholders involved in the project is the prerequisite for eliminating the issue of effective communication and moving the project in the right direction. The system will be able to send timely alerts to the stakeholders so they can prepare for their part of the project. The data ought to convey the same meaning or interpretation to each stakeholder on the project team for flawless implementation. It's possible that a concerted effort is required to make the Common data environment for infrastructure management a mandatory requirement for all major construction projects in order to cut down on delays and overruns in terms of time and money, improve performance, and communicate and monitor effectively in real time.

In a recently concluded mid-term session and seminar of Indian Building Congress (IBC) organised by Government of Madhya Pradesh which was held at Kushabhau Thakre Convention Centre, Bhopal in association with Madhya Pradesh Chapter a variety of technological advancements in the formulation of CDE for managing infrastructure projects was discussed.

The convention was inaugurated by Shri Gopal Bhargav, Hon’ble Minister of M.P., PWD who was the chief guest of the inaugural function. Shri V.Suresh Former CMD, HUDCO and past president of IBC was the chief guest of the valedictory function, a large number of technical papers were presented in the seminar by eminent authors in the field from different institutions across the country.

As anticipated the seminar produced nineteen useful recommendations for the construction industry, opening up new vistas for improvement. The recommendations are of special importance for effective implementation of “The Digital India” an Umbrella Programme of Govt. of India to achieve its three core components i.e., digital infrastructure creation, digital delivery of services and digital literacy for rapid development of the nation to benefit the masses in general.
