Marina System Ibérica (MSI)

BIM in Port Infrastructure

Connected data to design, construct, and operate with greater efficiency

MSI integrates the BIM methodology as part of its digital transformation process to provide engineering firms, port authorities, and contractors with structured, reliable technical data ready for project implementation. Our approach allows our systems to be seamlessly integrated into digital models, improves stakeholder coordination, and enhances asset value throughout its entire lifecycle.

We apply BIM to streamline specification work, optimize planning, and ensure traceability from design to operation, strengthening our position as a technological partner in the port sector.

What is BIM and why is it crucial for the port sector

The marine environment demands solutions with high levels of coordination, durability, and document control. BIM enables collaboration on a shared digital model where all relevant information is centralized and accessible to project stakeholders.

This translates to less uncertainty during the design phases, greater precision in systems integration, and more efficient asset management once in service. In the context of port digitalization, having structured and traceable data is no longer an advantage, but a requirement to develop more efficient and sustainable infrastructures. 

DIGITAL MODELS

MSI's BIM Approach

MSI develops digital models of its solutions for the port sector so that they can be directly integrated into engineering projects. This work is carried out in collaboration with the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and the specialized studio COLOMA+ARMENGOL, ensuring the highest technical quality, data consistency, and information structuring aligned with BIM standards.

In this way, we transform product information into a commercial and technical tool that facilitates decision-making from the initial stages of the project.

Our proposal adds value for:

01.

Engineering firms that require precise BIM objects to define and specify solutions with confidence.

02.

Construction companies that demand coordination between the model, manufacturing, and assembly.

03.

Port authorities and operators seeking assets with enhanced control and traceability.

Standardization of data and BIM objects

The creation of BIM objects for our systems provides reusable models with defined levels of detail and structured, accessible technical data. This ensures interoperability across platforms and eliminates errors arising from partial interpretations of the documentation.

The development of product digital twins facilitates long-term asset management, providing access to reliable information for maintenance, component replacement, and future expansions.

For design teams, working with standardized information means integrating solutions more rapidly, reducing issues, and ensuring project consistency.

Common Data Environment (CDE) and Collaborative Work

MSI has implemented a common data environment that connects internal teams with clients and collaborators within a single information workflow. All project documentation is managed centrally, featuring version control and change traceability.

This environment improves cross-disciplinary coordination, anticipates issues, and provides real-time visibility into production status and scheduling. The result is reduced errors, more efficient communication, and more reliable execution.

DRIVING THE DIGITALIZATION OF THE SECTOR

Client benefits and impact on the sector's digitalization

The integration of BIM methodology at MSI adds value across all phases of the port project lifecycle. From the design stage, our BIM objects allow solutions to be specified with complete technical information integrated directly into the digital model. During construction, collaboration within shared environments improves planning, minimizes clashes, and ensures correspondence between the model and the final manufactured product.

During operation and maintenance, the availability of structured data facilitates more efficient asset management, granting immediate access to the necessary information for technical and strategic decision-making.

This approach not only optimizes each project, but also forms part of a global strategy aimed at driving the digitalization of the port sector through product design and technical information. The availability of high-quality BIM content reinforces the specification of our solutions in national and international projects, increases client and partner confidence, and positions MSI as an innovative industrial company prepared for new infrastructure management models and future challenges.
