A Case Study on BIM-Enabled Operation and Maintenance Management for Rail Transit Projects in China
Publication: ICCREM 2020: Intelligent Construction and Sustainable Buildings
ABSTRACT
Building information modelling (BIM) is a milestone technology that have already transformed the architectural, engineering, and construction industry. Benefits of implementing BIM in rail transit projects can be significant, as rail transit projects involve massive facilities and complex pipeline systems. However, existing research of BIM applications in rail transit area were mainly focus on the design and construction stage, and there is still a lack of work to support BIM-enabled operation and maintenance. As such, this paper presents a study on BIM-enabled operation and maintenance management of rail transit projects, in the context of Chinese industry. The study first reviews previous work on BIM-enabled operation and maintenance, then examines BIM usage and application areas of various stages in Chinese rail transit industry. An operation-oriented framework is also proposed, to facilitate BIM-enabled operation and maintenance management in rail transit projects. Moreover, case study of a pilot rail transit project in Taiyuan, China, with the proposed framework is presented. This study provides valuable insights into the successful BIM implementation in rail transit projects.
