Making BIM as great power of construction phase

BTUK ME is an EPC contractor of the basalt fiber rebar manufacturing plant. The construction phase was critical, and leveraging the BIM models from the design stage on-site ensured their total value and consistency.Coordination of disciplinesNumerous changes in one discipline of the BIM model should be coordinated with others to prevent outdated information in drawings and potential clashes inside a single discipline or between several disciplines.Masterplan drawings are not actualThe site’s landscaping and utilities were carried out without an up‑to‑date master plan, the as‑built documentation for these works was provided late, and the design decisions were behind the construction works. This problem led to challenges in coordinating utilities and landscaping, resulting in delayed decision‑making on the construction site. It necessitated significant time to conduct site inspections and become acquainted with the existing conditions and construction updates.Tracking work dynamics and project progressA significant challenge is obtaining real-time and accurate data from the construction site for daily progress reporting. Data collection by classic report methods may lead to delays and potential inaccuracies and not always depict the visual nuances of construction progress. Maintaining consistency and standardization in daily logs across various teams and subcontractors can be difficult.Difference between as‑built and shop drawings. Not enough data for Digital TwinOne of the customer’s requirements was the development of a Digital Twin of the plant, for which it was necessary to combine shop drawings, as‑built documentation, and real‑time sensor data. The survey of MEP systems inside the building was not carried out; as‑built documentation was developed without considering in‑place changes and insufficient data regarding rising pipes and duct elbows. As a result, the actual situation in the facilities differed from that in the drawings.
