BIM Development
In 2014, we established a BIM Working Group to formulate the policy and roadmap in adopting BIM technology in HyD. Since then, nine projects were selected to use BIM technology on a trial basis. In 2018, a BIM Unit was established to support the HyD BIM Working Group in formulating and executing the BIM strategy and driving and supporting the application of BIM technology within HyD.
Over the years, HyD offices / divisions have gained practical experience in using various BIM software for planning, design and construction monitoring. Up to end April 2025, there are about 100 nos of HyD ongoing consultancies / contracts using BIM technology, including Central Kowloon Route, Route 11, the Tsing-Yi Lantau Link, and the Tuen Mun Bypass related consultancies / contract. We are putting continuous effort in using BIM technology to improve the effectiveness of project development.
To facilitate the adoption of BIM, we have developed about 440 BIM objects based on the HyD's standard drawings and common traffic signs as well as road markings. We will continuously share BIM objects with the Construction Industry Council BIM object library.
BIM Objects of Tactile Tiles
BIM Objects of Traffic Signs "Stop" and "Go"
Apart from setting up the BIM objects, templates of BIM documents such as consultancy brief, particular specification, major clash record sheet, BIM model checklist, BIM object checklist, BIM Execution Plan, etc. have also been developed to facilitate the adoption of BIM technology systematically and efficiently.

Latest Development
Asset management is one of the important applications of BIM technologies. In February 2024, we introduced the BIM-AM Standard to unify data formats and requirements for Asset Information Models. This enables seamless integration of such data into the HyD's asset management information system. An updated version of this standard was released in March 2025.
