BIM technology adds significant value across various aspects of power engineering projects. These include foundation work, structural elements, water supply and drainage systems, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), electrical installations, intelligent building systems, curtain wall construction, interior decoration and renovation, fire protection facilities, landscaping, roofing, elevator installation, and more.
It also plays a critical role in construction progress management, as well as lifting and transportation simulations.
Using construction management software, data from various business systems—such as construction progress and material procurement—can be imported into i-model files generated from 3D models. This allows the procurement and installation status to be displayed statically in different colors, enabling effective construction progress management.
The comprehensive information model already contains design attributes. By linking the engineering attribute information embedded in the model with the corresponding progress and procurement data, the 3D model’s attributes can be extended, creating a more detailed and dynamic representation of the project.
Additionally, 3D design technology facilitates lifting and transportation simulations that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional 2D design methods. These simulations help verify design plans and ensure their accuracy before actual implementation.
The 3D platform is accessible via popular mobile devices such as iPads and iPhones, supporting a variety of typical solution applications and enabling reuse as well as on-site construction applications. Professional apps on these devices allow users to open and browse 3D models, add redline annotations, perform data queries, measure 3D dimensions, dynamically cut flat and sectional surfaces, and access related drawings.
These mobile apps are continuously updated and maintained to support the evolving needs of information application modes. They operate in two modes: offline and online. Offline mode uses published 3D models independent of the 3D platform, ideal for construction sites with limited or no network access. Online mode enables remote connection to the 3D platform through the network, allowing real-time queries and data updates. With proper permissions, construction site data can be updated directly to the 3D model online, enhancing collaboration and accuracy.
