The EDIH course on BIM-based risk modelling for construction sites will be held on May 8 and 9

The course “8D BIM: Ensuring health and safety on construction sites through 3D modelling and risk assessment”, organized by the European digital innovation hub (EDIH), will begin on May 8 in our training room and will continue until May 9 – a total of 2 days or 12 academic hours. The training will be conducted in a hybrid format – both in person and online. Its primary goal is to prevent accidents and incidents on construction sites by integrating safety elements into the building design from the early planning phase.

8D BIM enables designers to carry out in-depth risk assessments of every design component of a building or facility. In this way, potential hazards can be identified and mitigated before construction begins, contributing to a safer work environment for construction workers.

This specialized course is intended for professionals involved in construction investment design, project management, consulting and supervision, or public administration.

Trainings related to the use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) represent the largest group – a total of 20 courses – in the EDIH’s services catalogue. In practice, BIM covers the entire lifecycle of a building – from design and construction management to operation, potential demolition, and waste utilization. In this sense, building information modelling is a key element not only for the digitalization of the construction sector but also for the development of the circular economy in Bulgaria.

The specialized BIM courses provide knowledge and skills for working with specific software used in the management of the entire construction investment process.

The course “8D BIM: Ensuring health and safety on construction sites through 3D modelling and risk assessment” consists of 3 training modules, scheduled over May 8 and 9.

The EDIH thermography course will begin on May 19

The “Thermography – Level 1” course, organized by the European digital innovation hub (EDIH), will begin on May 19 at the training centre of the Institute of mechanics at the Bulgarian academy of sciences (BAS) and will run until May 23 – a total of 5 days or 40 academic hours. The training will be held in person. Its main goal is to upgrade the qualifications of construction professionals in the testing and subsequent inspection of composite materials based on a concrete matrix.

This specialized course is intended for technical personnel from municipalities and from construction and supervision companies who carry out testing of structural elements in buildings and facilities. The minimum requirements for participants are a technical secondary education and at least 6 months of professional experience in applying non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to construction sites and structural components. Participants who successfully complete the course will receive Level 1 certification for thermographic testing in the construction sector, in accordance with international standards.

The “Thermography – Level 1” training includes:

An introduction to non-destructive testing methods and terminology using infrared thermography for composite materials with a concrete matrix and structural elements,
An overview of the physical principles behind the method,
Knowledge of the products and structures being tested,
Application of the methodologies and testing technologies, and
Understanding of the technical testing equipment involved.

The EDIH with presentations during the Architectural and building week

The European digital innovation hub (EDIH) in the construction sector will participate with an exhibition booth at the 25th edition of the international exhibition “Architectural and building week”, which will take place from March 26 to 29 at Inter Expo Center in Sofia. You can find us in Exhibition hall 1.

On March 26 at 2:00 PM in Hall 5 of the Inter Expo Center, there will be a presentation on the activities and digitalization opportunities offered by the EDIH for the construction sector. The focus will be on the services provided by the EDIH, including GIS-based construction solutions, drone applications in construction, digital fabrication in architecture and construction, monitoring methods and non-destructive testing, mechanical, thermal, and rheological testing of construction materials using instrumental methods, as well as innovations, new opportunities, upcoming trainings, and support services available through the EDIH. You can find the detailed program HERE.

On March 27 at 11:30 AM, Maria Nakova, Head of the EDIH, will officially launch the National year of skills in construction and will moderate the discussion titled “Opportunities for innovation, digitalization, and skills development in the construction sector.” The discussion will highlight the trainings offered by the EDIH, the InnoBuilder program, and other initiatives focused on capacity building in the construction sector. You can find the detailed program HERE.
