Abstract
Abstract. The aim of the contribution is to elaborate the digitalization of the construction process and of the management of the construction for both the organization of work activity and safety on the building site. The BIM methodology requires a digital implementation of construction through the creation of virtual models pertaining to the various professions involved. The CoSIM, acronym for Construction Site Information Modelling, is the application of BIM in the building site and where the federated model of the design phase materializes. The goal of the methodology developed is to obtain an elevated quality standard of the project, while trying to maximise costs and time as much as possible to favour an increase in the level of safety and security on the building site. The BSS, Building Site Safety, will allow a maximization of the safety design, not only by graphically depicting work activity but also forming a digital system for the documentation of the building site. To support this, the model is integrated with a simple plug-in which contains a library of objects to use for the designing and planning of safety on site, from general information to state of emergency warning. Thanks to the combination of the CoSIM and the BSS we can have a reduction of the variant, a reduction of time and costs due to an improved planning of work activity and allows the worker to be aware of all the modalities of procedure before entering the building site.
Highlights
In the 4.0 industry, the construction sector is undergoing a substantial change and evolution to keep up with the current innovation of technological process (Ciribini, 2012)
The ECIF (European Construction Industry Federation) through the manifesto “Making BIM a Global Success”, establishes that digital transformation of the industry will occur: from top to bottom with the adoption of European and national norms outlining the switch from the traditional process to BIM; from bottom to top facilitating the use of the method for all the facets of the construction chain and favouring its implementation from the educational, economic and instrumental point of view
Lopez et al (2018), point out the existence of an ardent interest regarding the semi-automatic construction of H-BIM models, as demonstrated by the two programmes, Duraark (Beetz et al, 2015) and Inception completed in the area of EU H2020 research framework program
Summary
In the 4.0 industry, the construction sector is undergoing a substantial change and evolution to keep up with the current innovation of technological process (Ciribini, 2012). An ideal and virtual place which facilitates the automation of informative coordination among stakeholders, guaranteeing transparency and error reduction (Eastman, 2016) In this environment each figure and piece of information is centrally managed throughout the entire life cycle of the building, from the initial and strategic phase to the maintenance and operation phase. Efficient communication among all the project stakeholders would maximize the efficiency of the transfer of integral information related to the artefact and would improve the use of the project, in favour of a safe constructive process and a higher level of management For this reason some research has been developed with the main objective consisting in the organization of methods and strategies aimed at optimizing the diverse phases of design (preliminary, definitive and execution), and the proceeding phases of completion. The virtual modeling associated with base data directly from the BIM environments, have been integrated and reutilized to rationalize the organization of the building site through new dynamic representations in 4D (3D + time) and with experimentation of a plug-in as described in the following
