3-D Temporary Facility Visualization Using BIM(Building Information Modeling) Technology

Abstract

The key role in safety management is to identify any possible hazard before it occurs by identifying any possible risk factors which are critical to risk assessment. It is well known that falsework (temporary facilities) in construction projects is fundamentally important. This planning/assessment process is considered to be tedious and requires a lot of attention due to the following reasons: firstly, the installation and dismantling of those facilities are one of the high risk activities in the job sites. Secondly, temporary facilities are generally not clearly delineated on the building drawings. Therefore, it is our strong belief that safety tools have to be simple and convenient enough for the jobsite people to manage them easily and be flexible for any occasions to be occurred at various degrees. In order to develop a safety identification system of temporary facilities, this research utilizes the BIM technology in retrieving important information by importing data from BIM models and use it in the safety planning stage.

A BIM-Based Quality Inspection System Prototype for Temporary Construction Works

“…The first category is common temporary construction (e.g., temporary buildings, temporary fences, and temporary roads), and the second is direct temporary construction (e.g., scaffolds, molds, cast iron, and footing boards). The former (common temporary construction) facilitates construction comprehensively and indirectly, whereas the latter (direct temporary construction) enables a specific construction process [15].…”

“…In addition, the new unit works should be established by changing and deleting the problematic unit works to enhance the development [18]. Hence, the research breaks down the current TCW quality inspection works into unit works, as illustrated in Table 3 [15,[19][20][21][22][23]. The problematic unit works, which can occur when QM engineers conduct quality inspection works, were established through a preceding research analysis and consultations with professionals.…”
