Engineering Construction Project

In modern times, information technology developes very quickly. Architecture engineering construction industry has gradually been revolutionized from traditional ways to technology-based methods. As the engineering construction project is very complex ,advanced tools are required to assist finishing a project. Building information modeling is disseminated to construction industry ,as an instrument to help collaboration and co-working. The practical effectiveness of BIM is mainly in architecture design, while BIM can be used as a tool in other parts of construction industry such as virtual construction ,time-dependent control and maintainance management and even the lifecycle management.This paper mainly presents five main parts and functions designed of information system based on BIM, and analyses the strengths of the system .It aims to demonstrate how engineering project overcome traditional barriers and physical distribution with the development of information technology across the whole construction lifecycle.

Recently, the visualization technique of numerical construction data has become essential in construction industry due to the extended application of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and various IT technologies. To build and apply a BIM tool, the interoperability between different modeling systems is being an important item. Specially, in the field of civil engineering project, the development of IFC (Industrial Foundation Class) code for 3D CAD object is under the conceptual phase. This study introduces cases of developing active BIM functions and IFC code that applicable to road project and proposes how to enhance data inter-operability to utilize the functions in an integrated manner.

The Impact

Mobile computing technology has an enormous potential in civil engineering, mainly in the field of construction management. This paper presents an approach by using mobile computing in a civil engineering construction project, exploring how information can be exchanged at a construction site, and how billing of quantities (BOQ), drawings and specifications are shared for the benefit of the project. One of the major obstacles in using information technology (IT) when applied to civil engineering is due to the dynamic changes in the construction activities and the diversity of construction methods as compared to other industries. This has proved to be a great disadvantage when trying to give construction sites adequate IT support. Computers require infrastructure, which can be transferred easily to the head office, but rarely to the construction site itself in a systematic way. Therefore, the impact of IT on the way the construction industry actually works has not been significantly utilized. This paper consists of two main parts. The first part defines the concept of mobile computing, describes some recent research, and stresses the potential for the construction industry. The second part is focuses on an approach, implementing mobile computing in a real construction site.

Abstract. Application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in construction industry has been applied for many years back. This because BIM can provide a better advantage in construction industry in term of controlling and managing construction project during their life cycle. The advantages that can be provide by BIM is focusing on the indoor planning tasks. But, when the construction project involves, besides indoor planning, outdoor planning also is important part that need to be look up. To cover the outdoor planning in construction project, Geographic Information System (GIS) need to be applied. GIS can overcome this problem because GIS mainly for outdoor planning by using their spatial analysis. GIS can offer a high degree of geospatial information and can provide the detailed geometrical and semantic information of building to assisted across improve automation. Towards produce the improved preparation in construction project, BIM and GIS should be integrated. To integrate both domains, the data interoperability between them need to be investigate because they used different data standard. This study focusses on solving the data interoperability through the data integration between BIM and GIS to solve the problem of data mismatch and data missing during data translation process. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) was used as a data standard to perform the data integration between BIM and GIS. The outcomes from this study show that when the data interoperability applied between BIM and GIS, the problem above can be solved, and the data dimension and their coordinate system also can be control.

Engineering Projects

With the deepening of the reform of national defense and the military, the defense strength of China has been greatly enhanced, and the number of military engineering projects has also increased year by year. The complexity and large-scale construction of engineering projects make it difficult for the traditional military’s engineering project management to meet current needs. This puts forward higher requirements for the military’s engineering project management ideas and methods. The refined and intelligent military engineering project management has become our military’s Matters that need to be focused on. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a hot technology and a new production management method in the current construction industry, which provides us with a more advanced and intelligent military engineering construction project management idea. This paper identifies the risks of applying BIM technology to military engineering projects by consulting a large amount of data, and uses SPSS software to conduct neural network analysis of the identified risks and proposes corresponding measures to promote the extensive use of BIM in military engineering project management.

The overall adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has increased considerably in recent years; however, utilization of BIMs post-construction is still seldom explored or documented. Much of this may be due to the fact that there still remains great inconsistency between stakeholders levels of BIM proficiency. In order to achieve a life-cycle use of BIMs, it is critical that the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry determine if it is moving closer to achieving a mature BIM standard or if organizationally it is still just grazing the surface of what BIM can do. Based on a survey of a diverse sample of the construction industry, this study evaluates the quality and maturity of BIM implementation across various organizations as well as the quality of BIM execution on current construction projects.

Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) is considered an innovation in bridge engineering and construction industry. This paper presents a methodology for using BrIM as an assisting tool in performing detailed cost estimates. The methodology depends on integrating visualization feature of BrIM with specific attributes of the BrIM model intelligent components. A program developed using C# language is used to extract the visualization conclusions and other components’ attributes to MS Excel spreadsheet. This sheet assists in performing detailed cost estimate, and reviewing the estimate. The paper also presents a methodology for generating cash flow and required payments. This methodology depends on integrating the developed program with 4D feature of BrIM.
