Integrate preventative measures into the BIM model: The specific implementation steps and timelines for each preventative measure should be integrated into the BIM model for the construction team to reference and implement, ensuring the safety and stability of the piping system.
[0106] Through the above steps, the present invention not only improves the construction accuracy, but also greatly improves the construction efficiency, ensures the quality of pipe and wall repair, and thus solves the problem of difficulty in repairing pipes and walls in a small space.
[0107] c) Based on the prediction results from step b), an adaptive algorithm is used to optimize the sleeve design to ensure that it matches the deformed pipe contour. The sleeve installation process is then simulated in the BIM model. The adaptive algorithm adjusts the sleeve geometry to ensure that it precisely conforms to the deformed pipe contour. This precise adaptation reduces installation deviations caused by pipe deformation and improves the success rate and stability of sleeve installation.
[0108] Specifically, simulating the installation process of the sleeve in the BIM model further includes:
[0109] According to the pipeline deformation predicted in step b), the sleeve geometry is adjusted to ensure that the sleeve can adapt to the contour of the pipeline after deformation, including but not limited to the adjustment of the bending radius, inclination angle and length of the sleeve;
[0110] The determination of the casing bending radius R needs to consider the maximum curvature radius Rm after pipeline deformation and a certain safety margin ΔR: R = Rm + ΔR;
[0111] The determination of the casing inclination angle θ includes the maximum inclination angle θm after pipeline deformation and the safety margin Δθ: θ = θm + Δθ;
[0112] In the BIM model, the installation process of the casing was simulated based on the adjusted casing geometry. Dynamic simulation analysis was used to evaluate the casing's adaptability and stability at different construction stages. This approach enabled the construction team to identify potential problems in advance and make optimization adjustments before actual construction, thereby reducing construction risks.
[0113] The casing design is optimized based on the analysis results and updated in the BIM model. Simulation analysis results are used to continuously optimize the casing design to ensure optimal performance during construction. This approach not only reduces the number of adjustments during construction but also improves construction quality and efficiency.
[0114] Improved construction efficiency: By simulating the casing installation process in the BIM model, the construction team can familiarize themselves with the entire process before actual construction, reducing on-site commissioning time and the possibility of rework, thereby significantly improving construction efficiency.
[0115] Ensure construction accuracy: The simulation process in the BIM model provides detailed visual guidance, enabling construction workers to perform installation operations more accurately and ensure that the casing installation accuracy meets the design requirements, thereby ensuring the quality of pipe and wall repairs.
[0116] In summary, the present invention provides an efficient and accurate casing design and installation method. By combining an adaptive algorithm with a BIM model, it solves the problem of difficult pipe and wall repair in a narrow space, improves construction accuracy and efficiency, and ensures high-quality completion of the repair work.
[0117] d) During the simulation of step c), a real-time collision detection algorithm automatically adjusts the shape and size of the casing to accommodate installation within the confined space. This real-time collision detection identifies potential collision points between the casing and the internal structure of the well, and records their locations and directions. This method enables timely detection of potential installation obstacles, avoiding installation failures or rework caused by collisions.
[0118] Specifically, automatically adjusting the shape and size of the casing using a real-time collision detection algorithm further includes:
[0119] During the simulation of step c), possible collision points between the casing and the internal structure of the pipe well are identified through real-time collision detection, and the positions and directions of these collision points are recorded;
[0120] Based on the identified collision points, the sleeve's shape and size are adjusted to eliminate them and ensure smooth installation in confined spaces. Shape adjustments include, but are not limited to, changing the sleeve's bend radius and tilt angle; size adjustments include, but are not limited to, appropriately increasing the sleeve's outer diameter or reducing its inner diameter. Based on the identified collision points, the sleeve's shape and size are automatically adjusted to eliminate them. This automatic adjustment not only saves time from manual intervention but also improves design accuracy and efficiency. By adjusting parameters such as the sleeve's bend radius, tilt angle, outer diameter, or inner diameter, smooth installation in confined spaces is ensured. This adaptable design allows for flexible installation in complex environments, reducing construction complexity.
[0121] Based on the adjusted casing design, a simulated installation process was conducted again to verify the casing's adaptability and stability. This method ensures the casing is stable and reliable during actual installation and reduces construction risks.
[0122] Based on the verification results, the casing design was further optimized, including but not limited to further adjustments to the casing material, thickness, or shape, until it fully met the installation requirements within the confined space. The final design was then updated in the BIM model. Based on the verification results, the casing design was further optimized, including but not limited to further adjustments to the casing material, thickness, or shape, until it fully met the installation requirements within the confined space. This continuous optimization process ensured the rationality of the final design and increased the success rate of construction.
[0123] Real-time collision detection and automated design adjustments reduced on-site commissioning and rework time, significantly improving construction efficiency. The construction team was able to complete installation tasks more quickly, reducing construction costs. Multiple simulations, verification, and design optimization ensured the accuracy and quality of casing installation. This approach not only improved construction quality but also extended the service life of the piping system.
[0124] In summary, the present invention automatically adjusts the shape and size of the casing through a real-time collision detection algorithm, thereby solving the problem of difficult casing installation in a narrow space, improving construction accuracy and efficiency, and ensuring construction quality and safety.
[0125] e) Using the BIM model adjusted in step d), a construction guide with augmented reality markers is generated, allowing on-site construction workers to accurately locate and install the casing. By converting the casing location information in the adjusted BIM model into augmented reality markers, construction workers can view the casing's starting and ending positions, as well as the coordinates of key points along the way, in real time. This precise positioning reduces human error and improves installation accuracy.
[0126] Specifically, generating a construction guide with augmented reality markings further includes:
[0127] Based on the BIM model adjusted in step d), the precise location information of the casing is extracted and converted into augmented reality markers; the AR markers include but are not limited to the starting position, ending position, and coordinates of key points along the casing;
[0128] Using the created AR markers, a construction guide is generated. The guide contains visual instructions for the casing installation path. The instructions included in the construction guide include, but are not limited to, the starting and ending points of the casing and key points that require attention during the installation process.
[0129] At the construction site, construction instructions are displayed on mobile devices, allowing construction workers to view and follow AR marker instructions in real time. Mobile devices include but are not limited to tablets or smartphones for displaying AR markers and construction instructions.
[0130] Based on the AR markers displayed on the mobile device, construction workers can accurately place the casing to the designated location and complete the installation process according to the construction guidelines.
[0131] f) At the construction site, the construction instructions in step e) are received through AR glasses, and the virtual model and the real environment are superimposed on each other to assist construction workers in accurately performing installation operations;
[0132] Specifically, receiving the construction instructions in step e) through the AR glasses further includes:
[0133] The construction instructions from step e) are transferred to the AR glasses, allowing construction workers to view the virtual model and the actual environment in real time. The instructions include, but are not limited to, visual instructions for the casing's starting and ending positions, as well as its installation path. The generated construction instructions also include visual instructions for the casing's installation path, including its starting and ending points, as well as key points to note during installation. This visual guidance allows construction workers to clearly understand the installation sequence and specific steps, reducing uncertainty during construction.
[0134] After wearing AR glasses, construction workers use the construction guide to confirm the exact installation position of the casing and begin installation preparations. At the construction site, the construction guide is displayed on a mobile device (such as a tablet or smartphone), allowing construction workers to view and follow the AR markings in real time. This real-time guidance ensures continuity and accuracy during the construction process, avoiding errors caused by delayed information.
[0135] During the installation process, construction workers continuously refer to the confirmed position to ensure that every step of the casing installation process is consistent with the information displayed in the AR glasses; through the combined use of AR markers and construction guides, construction workers can quickly locate and install the casing, reducing the time for on-site measurement and positioning, and significantly improving construction efficiency.
[0136] After the casing is installed, the installation quality is checked using AR glasses to verify whether the casing is accurately installed in the intended position.
[0137] Because the construction guide provides detailed installation paths and key node information, construction workers can accurately install the casing according to the guide, reducing rework due to improper installation and lowering construction costs. The real-time positioning and visual guidance provided by AR technology ensures the accuracy and quality of casing installation, reduces errors caused by human factors, and improves the overall quality of the pipeline system. Construction workers can share construction guides and AR markers on mobile devices, enhancing collaboration and communication among team members and ensuring coordination and consistency during the construction process.
[0138] g) After installation is complete, use a laser scanner to perform another 3D scan of the installed casing and compare it with the original point cloud data from step a) to assess installation accuracy. By using a laser scanner to perform a 3D scan of the installed casing, obtaining 3D point cloud data after installation and comparing it with the original point cloud data, the installation accuracy of the casing can be accurately assessed. This method ensures that the installed casing position is highly consistent with the designed position, improving project quality.
[0139] Specifically, evaluating installation accuracy further includes:
[0140] After the casing is installed, a laser scanning device is used to perform a three-dimensional scan of the installed casing to obtain the three-dimensional point cloud data of the installed casing;
[0141] The 3D point cloud data of the installed casing is compared with the original point cloud data from step a) to assess the installation accuracy. This comparison identifies areas with significant installation deviations and records their locations and deviation values. This method allows the construction team to quickly locate areas requiring adjustment, avoiding unnecessary rework.
[0142] Based on the comparison results, areas with significant installation deviations are identified and their locations and deviation values are recorded. The recorded deviation values are then used to assess the overall accuracy of the casing installation, ensuring that it meets the pre-determined standards. This approach avoids quality issues caused by installation deviations and improves the overall quality of the piping system.
[0143] Based on the recorded deviation values, the overall accuracy of the casing installation is assessed and whether adjustments are necessary. If the deviation values exceed the predetermined tolerance range, an adjustment plan is developed. This approach ensures that even if deviations occur during installation, they can be promptly identified and corrective measures taken, avoiding further rework and repair work later.
[0144] After the installation is completed, a three-dimensional scan is performed using a laser scanning device and compared with the original point cloud data to evaluate the installation accuracy. This ensures high-precision and high-quality casing installation, improves construction efficiency, reduces rework costs, and enhances the overall project management level.
[0145] h) Based on the comparison results from step g), if the deviation exceeds a predetermined threshold, a repair plan is simulated using the virtual repair module in the BIM model and converted into on-site executable instructions. By evaluating the deviation values recorded in step g), the overall accuracy of the casing installation can be accurately determined, determining whether repair is necessary. This approach ensures that only areas truly requiring repair are addressed, avoiding unnecessary rework.
[0146] Specifically, simulating the repair plan through the virtual repair module in the BIM model and converting it into on-site executable operation instructions further includes:
[0147] Based on the deviation value recorded in step g), the overall accuracy of the casing installation is evaluated to determine whether repair is required; if the deviation value exceeds the predetermined tolerance range, repair is required;
[0148] In the BIM model, repair plans are designed for areas identified as needing repair, and the repair process is simulated. This approach makes the design of repair plans more scientific and reasonable, ensuring their effectiveness and feasibility.
