Zigurat Global Institute of Technology and Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) signed a partnership
to bring BIM Management education to infrastructure engineers in a program based on mega projects.
BIM methodology is rapidly expanding and advancements in technology are being made across all disciplines. BIM is utilised 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 and 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 12-month Global BIM Management for Infrastructure Projects Certification Program is the first of its kind,
offering a comprehensive education in BIM management from the perspective of an infrastructure engineer. The program offers four paths of specialisation – Roads and Highways, Railways and Metro Lines, Tunnels and Bridges, and Subsurface Utilities.
Participants in this international online program will also have the unique opportunity for an on-site visit to the construction site of the Abu Dhabi International Airport Midfield Terminal Building, currently in development by CCC. This project is one of the most relevant and complex infrastructure projects in the world, and offers the
exclusive opportunity to the students to complement their education in BIM with Zigurat in a practical way.
The first edition of the program launches on March 28, 2018.
