Preliminary Study on Application of Building Information Modeling to Underground Pipeline Management
Publication: Recent Developments in Evaluation of Pavements and Paving Materials
Abstract
The underground pipeline excavation in Taiwan has caused significant challenges for road authorities, even resulting in loss of lives and public property. This study reviewed the policies of public utility databases and common duct systems implemented in Taiwan. The questionnaires were designed based on the concept of building information modeling (BIM) and used to interview executives from road authorities, pipeline agencies, and engineering consultants companies to understand the current underground pipeline management in detail. According to the findings, respondents generally agreed that the concept of BIM is beneficial to underground pipeline management. This study provides a basis for improvements in road maintenance and management.
