With me and many, it might be BIM and VDC are the same. NO! So what and how VDC is different from BIM and other processes? VDC is Virtual Design and Construction, ya simple.... but let's further see in-depth and in detail. VDC is the further integration of Building Information Modeling - BIM, a comprehensive project management scheme - PPM, and Integrated Concurrent Engineering - ICE. This process helps in better utilization of the project planning techniques, better and effective utilization of human resources, and completing clients and project objectives. So from this, we can get to understand, Bim is the utilization of 3D model in the physical and fundamental processes whereas VDC is the management of model and process and connecting it with risk management. This is not only done in one or two steps... we need Integrated Team and Collaboration, Lean Process, Virtual Design and Build with Target Value Design are components of VDC - construction delivery system. I know this is to
Libya's Great Man Made River: The Great Man-Made River in Libya is one of the most ambitious Civil Engineering Project in history of mankind. In the year 1953, the Libya Government found out not only vast oil reserves but also vast quantity of fresh water locked under the strata, most of the water was trapped around 7000-30000 years ago which is divided in 4 different basins. The first basin is named Kufra basin which is neat Egypt Border which covers almost 35000 sq kilometer which is quite deep around 2000 m deep. The other basin is in Sirte Basin which cover 10000 sq kilometer, third in Murzuk Basin and the last in Jabal Fezzan Basin covering 4800 sq kilometers area. The GMR project will be used to transfer water to North of the country to provide water for irrigation purpose for more than 6 million people. This will be a changing point for Libya and the Colonel Muammar Gaddafi called it the Eighth Wonder of World. The work started in 1984 of the project and estimated to be
