BIM projects for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris
BIM is used in many of the 2024 Olympic Games venues, including the Olympic Village, Place de la Concorde, the Aquatics Centre and the football stadium.
Olympic Village
The Olympic Village will host around 17,000 athletes during the 2024 Olympic Games in France. BIM technology has made it possible to adapt it to future changes, which is very important for the reuse of Olympic infrastructure.

Place de la Concorde
Concordia Square will be transformed into a venue for skateboarding and sport climbing during the Olympic Games. BIM enabled designers to create a space that both meets Olympic standards and is adapted to the needs of local residents after the Games.

Water Sports Centre
The Aquatics Centre is a new facility that will host swimming, water polo and scuba diving events at the 2024 Olympic Games. BIM was used to design the Aquatics Centre to be accessible to people with disabilities.

Stadium in the northern suburbs of Paris
The Stade de France stadium in the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis has been renovated for the Olympic Games. It will host the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the athletics final. BIM was used to plan the stadium's renovation and ensure the facility was ready in time for the Games.

Benefits of Using BIM at the 2024 Paris Olympics
The organizers of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games implemented BIM in the early stages of planning, which brought many benefits. Here are some of them:
Improved collaboration and communication . BIM facilitates the process of collaboration between different teams, as everyone works with the same digital model. This helps to avoid communication errors and ensures consistency.
Improved asset management . BIM models can be used to create digital twins of buildings and infrastructure that can be used to manage assets throughout their lifecycle. This helps reduce maintenance costs and improve operational efficiency.
Early clash detection . BIM models are used to detect clashes early in the design process, saving time and money. For example, BIM can determine if two pipes intersect in the same space or if a beam that is too large will not fit through an opening.
Improved planning and scheduling . BIM allows you to create detailed construction plans and schedule the various stages of a project. This ensures that the work is completed on time and within budget.
Improving construction efficiency . BIM can be used to optimize the construction process, reducing waste and energy consumption. For example, to plan more efficient routes for transporting construction materials.
The implementation of BIM at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games sets new standards for future sporting events and demonstrates the potential of BIM technologies to transform the construction industry. The ability to manage complex projects as a team efficiently and sustainably is a trend we will undoubtedly see in many more major construction projects in the coming years.
