FOREWORD
Building information technology is believed to be the first
rigorous step towards facilities digitization, a fundamental
base for the evolvement of smart cities. Infrastructure assets
constitute the largest portion of the national heritage of
modern societies. This program gives focused, practical and
comprehensive education on the development, evolution,
control and management of infrastructure projects and the
relevant digital information model of the infrastructural
assets through their full lifecycle.
Technology experts have been promoting Building
Information Modeling (BIM) technology as a modern
method for delivering building projects. The majority of
mega projects worldwide are of infrastructural nature;
AEC industry stakeholders give high value to infrastructure
development due to many factors such as magnitude,
criticality, effectiveness, publicity, the involvement
and interaction of all sectors in receiving benefits and
consequences for the success or failure of such projects.
These kinds of projects affect our day-to-day life since
they influence radically freight, people flow, local, regional
development, society’s growth and comfort.
Possible delays and defects during the construction phase
might extend the disorder of the residents’ daily lives,
resulting in negative results to the local society’s economy.
Consequently, the demand for new innovative tools which
ISSAM EL-ABSI secure the high quality of construction, tools to control
CCC BIM Centers General Manager, CCC BIM Academy Director, the construction phase by detecting potential delays and
Masters’s Program Director proposing new construction methodologies, tools to facilitate
the infrastructure project in all phases, from the design phase
through to construction and facility management, tools which
ensure the successful and on-time construction of the project,
becomes more essential than ever.
The complexity of these projects makes the utilization of BIM
for building and advancing infrastructure assets digitization
imperative.
Although the concept of BIM has been implemented
for years, its integration into infrastructure project
implementation has been relatively slow when compared
to that of building projects. Yet there is a shortage of well
qualified professionals who are capable of implementing BIM
processes and workflows in mega infrastructure projects.
The ultimate target of this Master’s program is to cover
the aforementioned identified gap and to introduce to the
construction industry market well-trained, qualified and
appropriately prepared engineers, architects, construction
resources, function managers, BIM managers and other
professionals who can use and implement BIM practically
and effectively to deliver sustainable infrastructure assets
and facilities.
FOREWORD // 7
CCC is an international mega contractor that has been
delivering all types of facilities for more than 65 years. A large
portion of CCC’s work is in building infrastructure projects
such as airports, roads, ports, bridges, tunnels and railway
construction. CCC’s approach to BIM is completely built on
the experience, expertise and solutions developed in-house
over the past several decades. CCC’s accomplishments in the
BIM field are recognized not only by reputed manufacturers
of BIM software, but also by its competitors. What makes the
CCC approach unique is that the BIM and project controls
capabilities were developed entirely in-house, building on
the needs of its core business, construction and the control
systems that had already been established within the
company. CCC’s BIM center has been effectively using BIM
for more than a decade to deliver all sorts of infrastructure
contracts such as roads, highways, railways, metro lines,
bridges, tunnels and subsurface utilities.
For nearly 20 years, the CCC BIM center has been delivering
hundreds of projects, most of them infrastructure projects,
using its solid BIM experience that was accumulated over
these two decades. Based on CCC’s experience and expert
direction, a successful BIM implementation depends mainly
on the deployment of competent engineers that are fluently
speaking the BIM language; the position of ‘BIM Engineer’
requires professionals with multiple skills. Consequently,
CCC established the BIM Academy in 2011 at CCC’s
headquarters in Athens. The Academy provides specialized
knowledge to professionals in an academic environment
through hands-on construction experience, BIM and IT
skills. This results in attaining qualified and competent
BIM resources who can take this technology to a true and
effective level of implementation. The BIM Academy has
assembled top quality BIM instructors through a rigorous
selection procedure. Intensive and ambitious training is
provided at CCC BIM Academy in Athens to new recruits to
orient them on BIM workflows, authoring, project controls,
design coordination processes and many other concepts that
are needed for an effective and fruitful BIM implementation.
Leveraging the strategic partnership between CCC/CCC
BIM Academy and Zigurat Global Institute of Technology
and as a continuation of the commitment of both parties
towards knowledge transfer and the most advanced
education in the field of BIM and digital construction, a
new Master’s program for online BIM education focused
on infrastructural assets digitization has been developed
and is now being offered to industry professionals
worldwide. This online program is envisaged to take BIM
implementation to another level of professionalism,
practicality and effectiveness in the field of information
modeling and management for infrastructure projects.

OVERVIEW // 21

OVERVIEW
Are you an infrastructure professional that is looking to
advance in BIM?
BIM methodology is rapidly expanding and advancements in
technology are being made across all disciplines. BIM is utilized
by numerous professionals in the AECO industry: designers,
modelers, architects, engineers, contractors, developers,
managers and senior executives, among many others. The
infrastructure sector is on the front line of this new paradigm,
with BIM already offering significant savings of cost and time for
road/highway, rail, bridge & tunnel, and utility professionals.
It is estimated that within the next 10 years, the entire global
industry will be working with this revolutionary methodology.
Professionals who adopt this new way of working sooner rather
than later will experience the greatest return on their investments,
becoming leaders in the field who are able to guide the industry
towards this change.
The benefits of BIM are most apparent when all stakeholders of
a project are working in unison. Interdisciplinary collaboration
and communication allows us to successfully complete a project
with all stakeholders contributing to a single shared BIM model.
Working on a single 3D model grants us the ability to coordinate
visually, detect clashes between disciplines, and avoid costly
rework (estimated to constitute 15% of a project’s total costs). As
all of the relevant project data is included within a BIM model, we
are also able to estimate costs, generate accurate quantity take-
offs, and conduct energy analysis and efficiency studies, among
many other benefits.
With so much information going into each model, it is important
for each project and organization to have a fully-capable BIM
Manager who has the ability to manage all of the data and ensure
that it is legible, adheres to organizational and/or governmental
standards, and who can manage effective BIM teams.

INDUSTRY REALITY AND REQUIREMENTS

For nearly 20 years, CCC BIM Center has been delivering hundreds of projects, most of them infrastructure projects,
using its solid BIM experience that was accumulated over these two decades. Based on CCC’s experience and expert

METHODOLOGY
COLLABORATIVE TEAMWORK: INTERNATIONAL GROUP PROJECTS
Processes and methodology make up 80% of BIM, while
technology makes up 20%. This is a statistic confirmed by
professionals throughout the world. It reflects BIM’s role in an
organization’s workflow within a construction project, which
involves various companies and public agents.
Aware of this reality, Zigurat Institute based the course on the
concept of an integrated practice amongst participants. Thus,
all projects are assigned collaboratively via BIM servers provided
by BIM Freelance and Zigurat. For example, students who choose
a Revit (Autodesk) specialty will work directly from Revit Server,
and tasks will be organized jointly with professors through a
Project Management platform like VIEWPOINT for projects.
