Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of construction engineering, and in particular to a virtual construction system for a ship lock engineering based on BIM. Background Art

[0002] At present, BIM and digital twin technologies are widely used in construction projects, which have significantly improved the efficiency and accuracy of engineering design, construction and management. However, especially in large-scale and complex lock projects, traditional construction management methods make it difficult to achieve efficient collaboration between factories and construction sites, resulting in delayed construction progress, quality and safety. Although BIM technology can achieve information sharing and collaborative work during the project life cycle, it still faces the challenge of how to combine the actual situation of the construction site, achieve real-time progress tracking and feedback, and construction quality and safety management in actual applications. Digital twin technology creates digital copies of physical entities to achieve real-time monitoring and management. Although it has been successful in the manufacturing industry, its application in construction projects is still in the exploratory stage, especially in data integration, real-time updates and support for construction decisions.

[0003] There are several significant shortcomings in the existing ship lock construction management. First, the information island phenomenon is serious. The traditional construction management information system lacks a unified data platform. The information transmission between each process, section and management level is not smooth, resulting in the inability to effectively share and utilize data. Secondly, real-time monitoring and feedback of information such as construction progress, quality, and safety are difficult to achieve. The management level cannot grasp the on-site situation in a timely manner, resulting in delayed decision-making. Furthermore, there is a lack of efficient coordination mechanism between factory production and on-site construction, and it is difficult to synchronize production plans and construction plans, resulting in faults and delays in production and construction. In addition, the data collection and recording during the production and construction of components is not comprehensive, which makes it difficult to trace quality and locate problems during the later operation and maintenance process. Finally, the traditional construction management method relies on manual recording and reporting, which is inefficient and prone to errors, making it difficult to achieve lean management.

[0004] The above shortcomings have significantly affected the construction efficiency and management effect of the ship lock project. The information island phenomenon leads to a lack of effective communication and coordination between the various processes, hinders the flow and use of data, and seriously affects the efficiency of decision-making. The poor real-time nature of information makes it difficult for management to grasp the dynamics of the site in a timely manner, and cannot quickly adjust and optimize the construction plan, resulting in insufficient adaptability during the construction process. The difficulty in coordination between the factory and the site has exacerbated the mismatch between production and construction, delayed the progress of the project, and increased costs and risks. Incomplete data makes it difficult to trace quality and locate problems, and it is impossible to ensure the high-quality delivery of the project. Inefficient management methods limit the precise control and optimization management of the construction process, increase management costs, and reduce the overall benefits of the project.

[0021] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a virtual construction system for a ship lock project based on BIM, including a project information management module, a process management module, a project breakdown structure management module, a mobile terminal module, a plan management module, a progress tracking module, an order management module and a progress 4D simulation module; the project information management module provides project information to the process management module and the project breakdown structure management module; the process management module defines the construction process and process according to the project information, and binds them with the components of the project breakdown structure management module; the project breakdown structure management module is responsible for generating the decomposition structure and coding of the components; the plan management module formulates a project schedule based on the generated information of the project breakdown structure management module; the progress tracking module monitors the progress of the construction site in real time, and if the progress is in line with the plan, a material order is generated through the order management module, and if the progress is abnormal, it is fed back to the plan management module for adjustment; the mobile terminal module provides progress updates to the plan management module, and submits production orders to the order management module at the same time; the order management module ensures that the supply of materials is synchronized with the construction according to the order, and shares the progress data with the progress 4D simulation module to generate a dynamic visual display of the construction progress.

[0022] Specifically, the project information management module is mainly used to maintain the basic information of the project. The project is selected through the master data, and the factory-site integration system is opened. Specific functions include the creation, editing and deletion of projects, as well as the maintenance of basic project information, such as project name, project number, project leader, etc. Through BIM technology, the basic information of the project is intuitively displayed in the model, and all participants can access and update this information in real time to ensure the consistency and accuracy of the data.

[0023] Specifically, the project information management module, as the basic module of the system, provides basic information of the project, which is shared and used by all other modules. For example, when setting and managing specific content, the process management module, engineering breakdown structure management module and plan management module all need to refer to the basic project information provided in the project information management module to ensure the data consistency and accuracy of each module.

[0024] Specifically, the process management module: The process management module is responsible for the management of project-level construction processes and procedures. The construction process is associated with the enterprise-level process, which is used for process efficiency analysis between projects. Users can choose to associate enterprise-level processes, or create new processes based on the special needs of the project. By binding components, process flow and construction progress updates are achieved to ensure standardized and normalized management of processes and procedures and improve construction efficiency. Digital twin technology makes it possible to simulate and optimize process flows. Through simulation tests in a virtual environment, the actual process flow is optimized to improve construction efficiency and quality.

[0025] Specifically, the project breakdown structure management module: by maintaining the project breakdown structure, the project is broken down into single projects, unit projects, sub-projects, sub-projects and components. Prepare component-level structural codes for association and attachment on the BIM model to achieve mapping between BIM model components and project structures. Support batch generation of components, quickly set component codes through configuration rules, and prepare design quantities of concrete, steel bars, etc. for components for rapid submission of integrated production orders. This module realizes the refined management of project structures, and through digital twin technology, synchronizes the updates of physical and virtual models to ensure the real-time and accuracy of data.

[0026] Specifically, the process management module and the engineering breakdown structure management module are closely linked through component association and process binding. The processes and processes defined in the process management module are associated through the component coding in the engineering breakdown structure management module to ensure that the construction process and process of each component are accurately executed.

[0027] Specifically, the planning management module: The planning management module maintains the project's engineering task decomposition structure, decomposes the project progress to the component level, sets the component construction process, disassembles it into construction procedures, generates a project schedule, and realizes lean management of the project progress. Users can adjust the plan according to the actual situation of the project to ensure that the construction progress is carried out as planned. BIM technology makes the schedule visualized in the model. Project participants can intuitively view the schedule through the model, and update and adjust the plan in real time through digital twin technology to ensure accurate management of the project progress.

[0028] Specifically, the engineering breakdown structure management module provides basic data for the planning management module through the decomposition and coding of components. The planning management module uses the component information provided by the engineering breakdown structure management module to refine the project schedule to the component level and formulate a detailed construction plan. This correlation makes the project schedule management more refined and controllable.

[0029] Specifically, the progress tracking module: completes the ongoing process through the combined instructions of on-site construction equipment to achieve automatic progress tracking. It also supports manual reporting of completion progress or automatic update of task completion status through combined information such as concrete arrival. Users can view the progress of each construction task in real time, promptly discover and resolve progress deviation issues, and ensure real-time control of construction progress.

[0030] The project schedule generated by the plan management module is the basis for the implementation of the progress tracking module. The progress tracking module tracks the progress of each construction task in real time through on-site construction equipment and manual reporting based on the schedule provided by the plan management module. This correlation ensures real-time monitoring of the construction progress and synchronization of plan execution.

[0031] Specifically, the order management module: The order management module tracks the process steps of component construction according to the construction progress, or selects the corresponding component on the BIM model to submit concrete production and steel bar processing orders. The system loads the design engineering quantity information of the component, submits the pouring order to the concrete mixing plant, and submits the steel bar processing order to the steel bar processing plant. The progress of concrete production and steel bar processing related to the component is associated on the BIM model to grasp the order status and progress in real time. This module realizes the seamless connection between production and construction plans, ensuring the timeliness of material supply.

[0032] The construction progress information provided by the progress tracking module directly affects the operation of the order management module. The order management module generates and submits corresponding concrete production and steel processing orders based on the construction progress feedback from the progress tracking module. Through this association, the system achieves seamless connection between production planning and construction progress, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of material supply.

[0033] Specifically, the progress 4D simulation module: by selecting the start and end time and the simulation rate, the model growth animation is generated according to the time advancement, the real construction progress is simulated, and the business information of the model is displayed in a structured manner. Users can intuitively view the simulation of the construction progress, discover potential problems in advance, and optimize the construction plan. This module provides a visual means for the dynamic management of the construction progress.

[0034] The concrete production and steel processing order information submitted in the order management module is fed back to the progress 4D simulation module in real time. The progress 4D simulation module uses these order information and construction progress to generate dynamic model growth animations to simulate the real construction progress. This correlation provides users with an intuitive visualization of the construction progress, helping to discover and solve potential problems in advance.

[0035] Specifically, the mobile terminal module: The mobile terminal module uses mobile devices to display the component tree, issue orders, and view orders, making it convenient for construction personnel to quickly submit production orders and track them. Construction personnel can obtain the latest construction information anytime and anywhere, improving work efficiency. This module provides a convenient operating platform for on-site construction personnel to ensure timely transmission and response of information. Digital twin technology further enhances the functions of the mobile terminal, enabling construction personnel to perform virtual operations and real-time monitoring on site, improving overall work efficiency.

[0036] The mobile terminal module is closely related to the project information management module, process management module, engineering breakdown structure management module, plan management module and order management module. Through the mobile terminal, construction personnel can view basic project information, construction technology and process, engineering structure and construction progress, and submit and view production orders. This all-round relevance of the mobile terminal provides a convenient operating platform for on-site construction personnel, ensuring timely transmission and response of information and improving overall work efficiency.

[0037] In summary, the project information management module first provides project information as the basis for all module operations. Then, the process management module defines the construction process and process according to the project information, and binds it with the components of the engineering breakdown structure management module. The engineering breakdown structure management module is responsible for generating the decomposition structure and coding of the components, and this information is used by the planning management module to formulate an accurate project schedule. The progress tracking module monitors the progress of the construction site in real time. If the progress is in line with the plan, the material order is generated through the order management module; if the progress is abnormal, it is fed back to the planning management module for adjustment. The order management module ensures that the supply of materials is synchronized with the construction, and shares the progress data with the progress 4D simulation module to generate a dynamic visual display of the construction progress. The mobile terminal module provides a convenient operation platform for on-site construction personnel, ensuring real-time submission of orders and progress updates, and ensuring the timeliness and consistency of information flow. Through two-way data interaction, each module realizes efficient and collaborative management of project construction.

[0038] The present invention realizes the digital and intelligent management of the whole process of ship lock engineering from design, production to construction through the organic combination of the above modules. Each module not only independently completes its own function, but also ensures the efficient, lean and traceable construction management goals of the project through data interaction and collaborative work between each other. This organic combination between modules makes the system more efficient and intelligent as a whole, achieving the purpose of optimizing construction management and improving engineering quality.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a virtual construction system for the BIM ship lock project is built, which integrates a concrete plant, a steel bar plant and a site monitoring system. It tracks the production progress and construction progress of components through the model decomposition structure, traces back the production process and construction efficiency of components, and realizes functions such as process procedures, project decomposition structure, plan progress, and order management. Focusing on data indicators of production factors such as construction personnel, production equipment, construction equipment, on-site materials, and process methods, the system monitors information such as ship lock construction progress, construction quality, and construction safety. Based on the feedback of monitoring data, the system optimizes decisions, supports the comprehensive management and control of efficiency-quality-safety, and forms a comprehensive management and control mode of factory-site integrated intelligent construction with coordinated linkage between the ship lock construction site and the factory.

[0040] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention realizes the improvement of information integration and sharing: through BIM and virtual construction technology, a unified data platform is constructed, which realizes the data integration and sharing of concrete plants, steel plant and on-site monitoring systems, eliminates the phenomenon of information islands, improves the communication and coordination efficiency between various links, and ensures the real-time and consistency of data.

[0041] The present invention realizes real-time monitoring and feedback: by utilizing virtual construction technology, key data such as construction personnel, production equipment, construction equipment, and on-site materials are monitored in real time, and construction progress, quality, and safety information are fed back in a timely manner, supporting real-time decision-making and adjustments by management, thereby improving the response speed and accuracy of construction management.

[0042] The present invention strengthens the efficient collaboration between the factory and the site: through the decomposition structure and progress plan management of the BIM model, efficient collaboration between factory production and on-site construction is achieved, ensuring the seamless connection between the production plan and the construction plan, reducing the faults and delays in production and construction, and improving the overall construction efficiency and progress management level.

[0043] The present invention improves quality traceability and lean management: data is fully collected and recorded during component production and construction, and associated with the BIM model to achieve component-level refined management and progress tracking. The digital twin platform supports quality traceability and problem location in later operation and maintenance, ensuring the traceability and reliability of project quality. At the same time, combined with mobile terminal applications, it reduces errors in manual recording and reporting, and improves the lean level and execution efficiency of construction management.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
