BIM combined with technology offers effective solutions to many challenges faced by traditional enterprise management models. It enhances project construction quality and overall work efficiency while reducing engineering rework, costs, and operational risks. Thanks to its visualization and information-sharing capabilities, BIM technology greatly benefits operation and maintenance teams, enabling faster customer response and higher satisfaction during the post-construction phase. The key functions of a BIM-based management model include the following:
(1) The Role of BIM+GIS in Gas Enterprises
The integration of BIM with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) enhances the management of extensive regional gas pipeline networks. This combined approach provides comprehensive spatial data management across cities, proving invaluable in optimizing pipeline designs, urban planning, environmental assessments, fire prevention, and disaster management. As a result, it significantly improves the quality and effectiveness of urban planning and infrastructure development.
(2) The Role of BIM+IoT in Gas Enterprises
Real-time data from various instruments—such as gas composition analyzers, pressure and temperature transmitters, flow meters, pipeline stress sensors, client gas meters, and other monitoring probes—can be remotely transmitted to the gas company’s central control system. This digital and real-time monitoring allows for timely risk warnings and alerts, helping to promptly address potential issues.
(3) The Role of BIM+AR in Gas Enterprises
During maintenance and construction of hidden infrastructure like pipelines or stations, on-site personnel can use terminal devices (e.g., tablets) to view underground pipeline conditions in real time. This capability helps prevent serious accidents, such as damaging pipelines due to unknown depths during excavation. It also minimizes rework and damage to existing infrastructure, accelerates construction progress without disrupting residents’ daily lives, and reduces overall construction costs.
