ABSTRACT
Bridge asset management is pivotal for ensuring safety within transportation networks. Indonesia, amid rapid infrastructure growth driven by post-pandemic economic surges in 2023, faces distinct challenges in advancing asset management. This study focuses extensively on Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing of Indonesia policies, specifically integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) to enhance bridge asset management. It meticulously compares these policies with global standards, dissecting disparities between Indonesia’s practices and international benchmarks. The research delves deeply into the Scan-to-BIM approach, spotlighting its role in creating Digital Twins for Long-Span Bridge projects across Indonesia, currently under extensive construction. It assesses BIM implementation evidence, gauging data quality, quantity, and utilization in comparison to global practices. This evaluation aims to align Indonesia’s practices with global norms and evaluate their efficacy. The study explores the gap between BIM use in different countries and Indonesia, identifying contributing factors and suggesting strategies to bridge this divergence. Additionally, it addresses prevalent challenges in BIM policies, human resources, and tool implementation, proposing solutions drawn from existing literature. Discussions encompass diverse BIM workflows globally, outlining strengths and weaknesses while contextualizing their impact within Indonesia’s context. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for standardized deviation between point cloud and 3D models for precision in constructing Digital Twins through Scan-to-BIM methods in bridge projects.
