BIM technologies in the inspection of buildings and structures

Abstract

The objective of the research is to investigate the issue of the increase in the efficiency of inspection of buildings and structures with the use of BIM technologies and laser scanning with the subsequent creation of information model of the facility at all the stages of its life cycle. Some examples of the executed inspections of buildings and structures are reviewed. The author set the purpose to develop some practical recommendations on the use of BIM technologies during the inspection of buildings, structures and engineering systems. Such recommendations are presented in the article. The results of approbation of the given technique of carrying out inspection of buildings and structures confirmed its efficiency and high precision. The BIM models of buildings, structures and engineering systems, received within the inspection, can be used during all the stages of the facility life cycle. It is especially relevant for the maintenance stage and reconstruction.

Using algorithmic design tools at the stage of building operation

“…In this environment, it is not easy for service department specialists to learn new software systems to solve their problems at a qualitatively new level. Sergey Ekba in his study points out that the creation and application of a BIM-model of existing buildings makes it possible to control and manage the systems of the object, which in turn allows us to provide the necessary safety parameters and standard operational performance of the building, as well as reduce the economic damage resulting from sudden accidents [5].…”
