Continuing Education Master's Program in Advanced BIM for River Channel Modeling and Hydraulic Infrastructure
PRESENTATION
Objectives
• You will lead the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology into all phases of project and construction management for hydraulic engineering infrastructure. • You will master the use of advanced software such as GIS, Civil 3D, and Revit for modeling watercourses and managing water infrastructure. • You will design pre-mapping strategies using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to accurately delineate watersheds and watercourses with QGIS. • You will implement hydrological models and flood calculations using HEC•HMS, managing their design parameters to ensure robust and reliable assessments. • You will evaluate the impact of design and management decisions on water infrastructure projects, taking into account relevant regulations and sustainability criteria. • You will manage surface and river hydrological data, applying advanced concepts for strategic decision-making in the field of BIM hydrology. • You will optimize the planning and execution of complex water projects by integrating BIM modeling to improve efficiency and reduce risks. • You will analyze and apply innovative solutions for water resource management, addressing the sector’s current challenges using BIM technology.
