SUMMARY:

The lack of diverse infrastructures (transport, sanitation, energy, etc.) in Brazil is known and the public sector is the largest owner of this type of enterprise. Infrastructure is considered fundamental for a country's productivity and economic development, it integrates markets and connects economic agents, helps reduce costs and the flow of information. In most countries, investment in infrastructure is on the list of political and economic priorities. However, Brazil is one of the countries that invests less in the sector: the current contribution is around 2% of GDP. China and India apply rates of 7% and 5.5% of GDP. The United States invests about 2.5% only with maintenance in water and transportation. Besides being scarce and poorly applied, part of the Brazilian investment ends up withheld in paralyzed works. According to the Ministry of Planning, Development and Management, in 2017, 18.5% of the paralyzed projects were in the infrastructure sector. BIM may be a solution for the infrastructure sector, given its characteristics in terms of assertiveness, accuracy, compatibility and extraction of reliable information. Recognizing the relevance of BIM, the federal government recently published Decree nº. 9,983, of August 22, 2019, which provides for the National Strategy for Dissemination of Building Information Modelling and established the Strategy Management Committee and began to require the adaptation of Brazilian public sectors to the BIM paradigm. Studies point out that the implementation of BIM in infrastructure has occurred in several countries ¬– especially in the USA, with emphasis on studies in the area of transportation ¬– and the existence of a gap when it comes to infrastructure of public services, specifically in water supply and sewage systems. In this study, no nationwide research on BIM in infrastructure was identified, as well as a characterization made in the public agencies of the RN that showed the almost non-existent use of BIM by the sector. Faced with this situation, the interest and importance of analyzing and evaluating the applicability of the Construction Information Modelling in infrastructure projects arises, given that, in Brazil, this type of undertaking is under the responsibility of public authorities and has a strong influence on the economy and development of a nation. This master's thesis aims to develop a method for implementing BIM in the infrastructure sector of public services, specifically in water supply and sewage systems. The research method used is the Design Science Research which had as its final product the proposition of a method (artefact), formed by a set of guidelines, which guides and orders the adequacy of the sector of projects studied to BIM. The proposed method is the greatest and most important contribution of this work, with the systematic review of the literature, which addresses the applicability of BIM in the infrastructure sector, and a diagnosis on the use of BIM in public agencies (responsible for infrastructure enterprises) in the RN.
