The Zhangjiang Science Hall project is situated on plot 41-07 in the Zhangjiang Central District of Pudong New Area, Shanghai. It is bordered by the Chuanyang River to the north, the under-construction Copernicus Road to the west, and the planned Haike Road to the south. The site covers 39,039 square meters, with a total built-up area of approximately 115,550 square meters, and the building rises to a height of 50 meters. The facility features a 6,000 square meter exhibition hall, a 4,000 square meter banquet hall, and 16 conference rooms of varying sizes. It is designed to serve as a landmark venue for international technology forums, conferences, and exhibitions, integrating global conferences with scientific innovation showcases.
Throughout the construction management process, the comprehensive use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and smart platforms has supported the project’s technical and production management. This approach has helped reduce investment, lower costs, and maintain full project control.

Highlights of BIM Technology Application
1. BIM-Assisted Technology Management
The BIM + technology management system utilizes a scheme management module to create detailed preparation schedules. It features alert notifications for upcoming deadlines and overdue tasks, while also supporting scheme development through a standardized query function.
Overview of the project’s technical work status
Additionally, BIM’s conditional query function allows for automatic and rapid filtering of specific components, eliminating manual searches. The software’s cutting tool enables sectional views from any direction, significantly enhancing the efficiency of scheme preparation.
▲ Preparation of specialized plans for auxiliary over-limit beams and high beams
2. BIM-Assisted Production Management
▲ BIM + Smart Project Management Integrated Dashboard
Once refined and segmented, the system captures corresponding model workflow sections. It reflects the actual on-site conditions through the model, ensuring real-time synchronization.
Overview of BIM + Smart Project Management production monitoring
The project employs facial recognition for worker attendance, ensuring accurate real-name records and preventing fraudulent attendance methods like card-swiping. This system enables efficient, precise, and timely integration of software and hardware monitoring data, providing robust support for on-demand project efficiency reporting and labor structure adjustments. The continuous accumulation of daily data allows seamless integration with business and production processes, creating a closed feedback loop.

3. Design Deepening and Analytical Applications
This building features multiple irregular shapes and a complex curtain wall system with numerous components. Traditional 2D construction drawings struggle to clearly and accurately represent these elements. Furthermore, precise positioning and analysis are necessary for components such as variable-height giant trusses spanning large column-free spaces, as well as supports and dampers positioned between certain frame columns. Using BIM technology, these specialized components can be clearly visualized in 3D, facilitating accurate selection and processing. This approach results in more practical, reasonable, and stakeholder-aligned final solutions.
