FIELD OF WORK
Technical infrastructure BIM
A BIM specialist in technical infrastructure: bridges, roads, seaports and water-control structures.
- Leads the technical infrastructure BIM Manager course at the Institute.
- BIM manager on large infrastructure projects, from urban ring roads to seaports, water treatment plants and salinity-control systems.
- Supporting member of the National BIM Steering Committee and a contributor to the national BIM Guidelines.
- Project and lead designer on many bridges, including cable-stayed, extradosed and arch bridges. Holds a Class I bridge design certificate.
- Visiting lecturer at Hanoi University of Civil Engineering since 2021, supervising BIM-based graduation theses. Two of them won the national Loa Thanh award.
SELECTED PROJECTS
Six projects run as BIM manager
Each is a different class of structure, so the modelling approach and level of detail differ from one to the next.
Vo Viet Nghe Tinh Road eastern extension
BIM model at construction-drawing stage, LOD 300 and 350, with 3D design coordination, quantity take-off, plus training and handover to the client.
Song Len irrigation system (KEXIM funded)
BIM package for the Song Len headworks dam and the salinity barriers on De canal and Can river — Class II structures. Client: the Central Project Office for water resources.

Learn BIM for infrastructure
Bridges, roads, ports and water structures apply BIM in their own way, quite unlike tall buildings.
