A dam is a man-made construction with many useful purposes, such as reducing flooding, providing electricity and water,
protecting habitats, and attracting tourists. But it comes with a long list of responsibilities throughout development, inclu ding
planning/design, building, operation, and upkeep. Consequently, all parties involved must pay close attention, be precise, an d work
together effectively at all times. The integration of all disciplines, beginning with the AEC aspects, is essential. Building Information
Modeling (BIM) is a technology invention that is helping to answer the huge problem of how to ensure an efficient and effecti ve building
process for owner/government, designers, consultants, and contractors.
The goals of this research were to (1) ascertain the current state of BIM research in the field of dam management and (2) sug gest
potential future research directions in this area. In addition, the study outlined the benefits of technical advancements on dams, discussed
their possible added value, and evaluated the obstacles that may reduce their efficacy in Indonesia. Researchers found that b uilding
information modeling (BIM) may be used for dam projects with the right government rules and enough competent human resources, but
that this approach would lead to higher investment costs. The study's results should boost efficiency and effectiveness acros s the board
and promote BIM's use in dam building and management in Indonesia.
