NEW ENTRY BIM TODAY, ALIM TOMORROW: DELIVERING A TOTEX FUTURE Aston Villa Football Club, Birmingham British Water in partnership with MWH is organising its second major conference for BIM in the water sector. At the first Conference in April 2014, it was recognised that significant additional benefits could be realised in the water sector by applying BIM – Building Information Modelling – to the whole life of an asset. This 2015 conference will explore how the water sector is using BIM and what still needs to be done and will look at the benefits of ALIM– Asset Lifecycle Information Management – and its implementation. It will also ask if and how BIM and ALIM can support Totex.
