During the construction process of delivering the completion model, all changes are recorded in real-time within the model, creating a detailed 3D record of the project. This approach ensures the model accurately reflects the current status, making engineering information easy to locate and providing a valuable data source for the operation and maintenance management of the project. For example, when issuing the BIM completion model for a water pump unit, all operation and maintenance details are incorporated into the model. This enriches the model’s data and facilitates efficient extraction and use of maintenance information in the future.
The visual operation and maintenance system built on the comprehensive construction (completion) model integrates the BIM 3D model — which contains detailed construction information — with operation and maintenance management data. This integration offers intuitive, fast, and efficient access to construction data needed for operation and maintenance tasks, including construction timelines, project acceptance data, manufacturer details, and spare parts information.
Compared to traditional operation and maintenance systems, BIM-based management systems overcome limitations related to abstract or insufficiently detailed management objects. They provide operators with a clear and intuitive understanding of the assets being managed. Additionally, these systems serve as effective training tools for complex management procedures, such as the disassembly and assembly of thermal power or hydropower plants and critical equipment.
Moreover, BIM-based operation and maintenance systems feature comprehensive and easy-to-understand data, setting them apart from typical systems. They prove invaluable in scenarios like factory renovations, expansions, and equipment overhauls. For instance, they can reveal the direction and location of hidden pipelines within renovation zones, assess the impact of changes, and provide quick access to information on equipment disassembly, spare parts location, installation dates, manufacturer details, and more.
By simply locating the relevant spatial area within the BIM operation and maintenance system, users can retrieve a wide range of related information with a single click — covering design, construction, procurement, installation, commissioning, daily operation, and equipment performance data.
