The adoption of a BIM-based approach for the design and setup of a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system is an unexplored topic in the scientific literature. This paper presents a methodology designed to optimize the information management of the entire process using Building Information Modeling (BIM), defining the exchange information requirements (EIRs), Process Map, and Levels of Information Need (LoINs). Moreover, to verify the consistency of the information exchanged, this paper employs the information delivery specification (IDS) standard, developing a script that, using LoINs and the BIM model as input, verifies the desired requirements at each stage of the process. The proposed approach is applied to a viaduct on the Naples-Salerno highway, achieving a fully digital and interoperable platform for stakeholders involved in the processes. The results highlight the advantages of the proposed methodology over traditional approaches. • Improved coordination across disciplines in SHM system design. • Exploiting BIM to optimize collaboration and efficiency of traditional SHM workflows. • Achieve consistency and compliance with EIRs through Information Delivery Specifications (IDS). • Innovating SHM system design and setup through open-BIM for greater effectiveness. • Validating the performance of BIM-based workflows for the SHM system setup of highway viaducts.
