1 Scope
This PAS specifies requirements for information management to achieve building information modelling (BIM) Level 2 in relation to the operation and maintenance of assets (buildings and infrastructure).
It covers the data transfer processes to:
-
a) create an assetinformation model (AIM) for an existing asset or portfolio of assets;
-
b) exchange assetinformation with a project information model (PIM);
-
c) record information relating to the disposal, decommissioning or demolition of an asset;
-
d) use the AIM to support organizational requirements;
-
e) revise the AIM as the asset changes; and
-
f) hold the AIM as a resource for the organization.
This PAS does not cover data content as this is defined in the organizational information requirements (OIR) and assetinformation requirements (AIR) but does cross-refer to broad headings and documents which define data content.
This PAS is for use by organizations and individuals responsible for the operation, maintenance and strategic management of assets. It is of use to individuals involved in transferring data from the PIM to an AIM utilized by the organization. In addition, it is of use to individuals involved in exchanging data throughout the life of an asset.
NOTE An organization may apply this PAS without necessarily needing to use BIM Level 2. However, an organization required to apply BIM Level 2 to the operational phase of an asset should apply this PAS.
