Investigation on Maintenance Technology of Large-Scale Public Venues Based on BIM Technology

Abstract

Recently, the digital operation and maintenance of large-scale public venues have received increasing attention. The traditional building automation system (BAS), which can only provide information in a non-visualized way, is incapable of meeting the complex requirements of modern operation and maintenance. Therefore, a 3D-based building information modeling (BIM) technology is needed to improve operation and maintenance efficiency. In the paper, a BAS-to-BIM combined strategy is introduced, and the BIM-based maintenance object framework for large-scale public venues is re-built. The conversion method and lightweight method for the BIM maintenance model are introduced and a new type of public protocol, which can be used to attain a unified protocol layer that serves the BIM model, is proposed. In addition, this article presents the application of technologies, such as virtual/mixed reality, to improve the convenience of operation and maintenance. Finally, a practical project of a snow-sports stadium is given as an example to elaborate on the benefit of the proposed method. It indicates that the functions, for example, information integration, visualization, and positioning, introduced by BIM technology can effectively improve the quality and efficiency of project operation and maintenance.
