Summary

The Slovenian combined transmission and distribution system operator is systematically integrating building information modelling (BIM) into its processes. To support ongoing activities and validate the acquired insights, several pilot projects have been initiated. The paper presents the ongoing reconstruction project of the overhead transmission line (OTL) 2 × 110 kV

Brestanica–Hudo (towers 84 to 102).

This pilot project, developed in collaboration with an external design partner, focuses on the development of an openBIM-based 3D model, testing of common data environment enabled workflows during the OTL construction phase, including data and document linkage, construction progress tracking, handover of data to asset management phase and other BIM use cases. Emphasis is placed on realistic and achievable implementation goals, leveraging existing systems and data to ensure cost-effective and practical deployment.
