AB  - This study investigates the role of Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) in preserving colonial and post-colonial dams, highlighting its potential for conservation and management. Using an integrative approach, the research explores the historical significance of these dams, evaluates existing methodologies, and proposes a tailored HBIM workflow for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The workflow emphasizes data integration from geomatics technologies, cultural heritage attributes, and digital modeling. Case studies of iconic dams, paired with historical insights, showcase the feasibility and adaptability of HBIM in this unique context. The proposed framework offers a robust tool for stakeholders to preserve Congolese heritage infrastructure efficiently while fostering sustainable development.
