An industrial object accumulates a great deal of information about its assets throughout its whole development period. This information is provided in the different drawings, passports, regulations, and other technical documentation. One of the common problems of most industrial objects is the disor-ganized storage of technical documentation on assets and its limited access to different industrial ser-vices. This greatly complicates the retrieval of information about the assets to ensure the steady opera-tion of the industrial object. As a consequence, one of the ongoing important tasks becomes the crea-tion of a unified source of up-to-date information about the object’s assets and the facilitation of the access to that data for all the participants of the project, construction, and operation process. Exactly these issues are tackled in the article alongside with the solutions based on using BIM and terrestrial laser scanning. This article also describes the types of BIM and detailed differences between them, the methods to form a BIM, as well as how the methods change at different stages of the life cycle. As well, the typology of tasks for which BIM solutions are applicable. TLS technology is described as a source of initial data for the formation of BIM. This article describes the results of the combined use of BIM and TLS at the stages of design, construction, and operation of an industrial object based on the implemented project. The article provides the result of clash detection in design documentation. The result of clash detection between designed and existing structures is also given. The article also provides the deviations at the construction stage of industrial objects, which were discovered. The ac-quired results demonstrated the effectiveness of using terrestrial laser scanning and BIM in engineering solutions.

Terrestrial laser scanning and digital information modeling are increasingly practiced every year to solve application tasks at various stages of the industrial facility’s life cycle. In this regard, the task of formulating the requirements for the accuracy of performing terrestrial laser scanning for the subsequent forming digital information models becomes more and more calling. In this article we analyzed the types of engineering and geodetic works by which engineering tasks are solved at various stages of the industrial facility’s life cycle in order to create an accuracy requirement. An analysis of the regulatory and technical documentation that specifies doing these works was also made. Basing on it, the relationship between the measurement accuracy characteristics specified in the regulatory and technical documentation (design, construction and operational) and the mean square errors in determining the position of points is described. The authors propose a scheme for transition from the characteristics of the measurements accuracy to the mean square errors of determining the position of points for each type of engineering and geodetic work. The results of this study can be used at planning terrestrial laser scanning of industrial facilities. Basing on the above requirements for the accuracy of the geodetic work, it is possible to formulate a methodology for carrying out each stage of the TLS technological scheme.

In Russia, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is becoming a mandatory requirement for the construction of new buildings. There is a positive experience in the implementation and examination of projects with BIM. A number of Russian companies have already introduced and are actively using information design technologies in their activities. However, at the current moment, the use of BIM in Russia is at the start. This paper shows examples of the use of BIM and laser scanning in the development of scientific and project documentation for cultural heritage sites. The paper shows the stages of engineering research. A comparison is made between traditional methods of building inspection and with the method of laser scanning. The key advantages of using a BIM model at the design stage, restoration and subsequent stages of the object’s life cycle are shown. The promising areas of application of BIM technologies, laser scanning technologies at different stages of the life cycle of an object (buildings, structures, utilities) have been identified.


The variants of the division of the life cycle of a construction object at the stages adopted in the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as in other countries are considered. Particular attention is paid to the exemplary work plan – "RIBA plan of work", used in England. A feature of this document is its applicability in the information modeling of construction projects (Building information Modeling – BIM). The article presents a structural and logical scheme of the life cycle of a building object and a list of works that are performed using information modeling technology at various stages of the life cycle of the building. The place of information models in the process of determining the service life of the building is shown. On the basis of the considered sources of information, promising directions for the development of the life cycle management system of the construction object (Life Cycle Management) and the development of the regulatory framework in order to improve the use of information modeling in construction are given.

Traditional energy analysis in Building Information Modeling (BIM) only accounts for the energy requirements of building operations during a portion of the occupancy phase of the building’s life cycle and as such is unable to quantify the true impact of buildings on the environment. Specifically, the typical energy analysis in BIM does not account for the energy associated with resource formation, recycling, and demolition. Therefore, a comprehensive method is required to analyze the true environmental impact of buildings. Emergy analysis can offer a holistic approach to account for the environmental cost of activities involved in building construction and operation in all its life cycle phases from resource formation to demolition. As such, the integration of emergy analysis with BIM can result in the development of a holistic sustainability performance tool. Therefore, this study aimed at developing a comprehensive framework for the integration of emergy analysis with existing Building Information Modeling tools. The proposed framework was validated using a case study involving a test building element of 8’ × 8’ composite wall. The case study demonstrated the successful integration of emergy analysis with Revit®2021 using the inbuilt features of Revit and external tools such as MS Excel. The framework developed in this study will help in accurately determining the environmental cost of the buildings, which will help in selecting environment-friendly building materials and systems. In addition, the integration of emergy into BIM will allow a comparison of various built environment alternatives enabling designers to make sustainable decisions during the design phase.

Abstract. The preservation of historic buildings can often be particularly difficult due to the lack of detailed information about architectural features, construction details, etc.. However, in recent years considerable technological innovation in the field of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) has been achieved by the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. BIM was developed as a methodology used mainly for new construction but, given its considerable potential, this approach can also be successfully used for existing buildings, especially for buildings of historical and architectural value. In this case, it is more properly referred to as Historic – or Heritage – Building Information Modeling (HBIM). In the HBIM process, it is essential to precede the parametric modeling phase of the building with a detailed 3D survey that allows the acquisition of all geometric information. This methodology, called Scan-to-BIM, involves the use of 3D survey techniques for the production of point clouds as a geometric “database” for parametric modeling. The Scan-to-BIM approach can have several issues relating to the complexity of the survey. The work aims to apply the Scan-to-BIM approach to the survey and modeling of a historical and architectural valuable building to test a survey method, based on integrating different techniques (topography, photogrammetry and laser scanning), that improves the data acquisition phase. The “Real Cantina Borbonica” (Cellar of Royal House of Bourbon) in Partinico (Sicily, Italy) was chosen as a case study. The work has allowed achieving the HBIM of the “Real Cantina Borbonica” and testing an approach based exclusively on a topographic constraint to merge in the same reference system all the survey data (laser scanner and photogrammetric point clouds).

AbstractIn the last few years, particular focus has been devoted to the life cycle performance of fastening systems, which is reflected in increasing numbers of publications, standards and large-scale research efforts. Simultaneously, experience shows that in many cases, where fastening systems are implemented – such as industrial facilities – the design of fasteners is governed by fatigue loading under dynamic characteristics. In order to perform an adequate design and to specify the most efficient and appropriate fastening product, the engineer needs to access and process a broad range of technical and commercial information. Building information modelling (BIM), as a data management method in the construction industry, can supply such information and accommodate a comprehensive design and specification process. Furthermore, the application of BIM-based processes, such as the generation of a BIM-model, allows to use the important information for the construction as well as the life cycle management with different actions and time dependencies of the asset and its components. As a consequence, the BIM model offers the potential to correlate different data relevant for achieving the goals of the respective application, in order to ensure a more effective and correct design of the fastening. This paper demonstrates such a BIM-based design framework for an Industry 4.0 case, and in particular, the installation of a factory robot through post-installed anchors under fatigue-relevant loading in concrete.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has attracted wide interest in the field of documentation and conservation of Architectural Heritage (AH). Existing approaches focus on converting laser scanned point clouds to BIM objects, but laser scanning is usually limited to planar elements which are not the typical state of AH where free-form and double-curvature surfaces are common. We propose a method that combines low-cost automatic photogrammetric data acquisition techniques with parametric BIM objects founded on Architectural Treatises and a syntax allowing the transition from the archetype to the type. Point clouds with metric accuracy comparable to that from laser scanning allows accurate as-built model semantically integrated with the ideal model from parametric library. The deviation between as-built model and ideal model is evaluated to determine if feature extraction from point clouds is essential to improve the accuracy of as-built BIM.
