Using BIM software to build a three-dimensional model can intuitively display the layout of the internal drainage pipeline of the building, accurately express the direction of the pipeline, the connection point and the relationship with other building components; BIM can help designers detect spatial conflicts with other systems (such as HVAC, water supply, and electrical pipelines) when planning drainage pipelines, discover problems in advance, optimize the layout, and reduce rework; based on the BIM model, the size and material list of the pipeline can be automatically generated to ensure the consistency of materials in the design and construction stages, and provide detailed parameters such as pipeline specifications, flow requirements and slope calculations; BIM software can have built-in relevant drainage design specifications to ensure that the design meets local regulations and standards (such as drainage slope, pipe diameter selection, etc.); BIM models can be used in the construction stage, and the three-dimensional model can be used to guide workers to accurately install pipelines to reduce errors. At the same time, the construction process can be simulated to optimize the construction sequence; after the building is delivered, the BIM model is saved as a digital asset to facilitate the later maintenance, inspection and upgrading of the drainage pipeline, quickly locate the problem location, and reduce maintenance time.

[0114] Through the API data interface, the real-time market database is linked to obtain the current prices of materials, pipes and accessories. Based on the material list and market prices, the cost of each material is automatically calculated, and standard construction quotas are introduced to calculate labor, equipment and construction costs based on the project volume.

[0115] Automatically generate the plan, section and node details of the drainage system based on the BIM model, avoiding the tedious process of traditional manual drawing and improving the accuracy and efficiency of the design. When the BIM model changes (such as changes in the direction and specifications of the pipes), the relevant drawings and material lists are automatically updated to ensure that the design is always consistent with the actual situation and reduce human errors. By accurately extracting the pipe length, type and quantity of accessories, it can effectively avoid material waste caused by unreasonable design. It can automatically generate a detailed material list according to the actual needs of the drainage system, including the type and quantity of pipes and accessories, to reduce omissions in the construction process. Through real-time market data connection, the BIM system can instantly obtain the current market price of pipes and accessories and automatically calculate the material cost, which not only saves the time of manual statistics, but also provides more accurate budget estimates, helping Project managers can conduct more reasonable cost control in the early stages of a project, using standard construction quotas to automatically calculate the costs of labor, equipment, and construction, thus avoiding errors caused by traditional manual estimates and further improving the economic efficiency of the project. In multi-disciplinary collaborative design, the BIM model, as a unified information platform, can ensure that architects, structural engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers, and other parties work on the same platform, reducing communication barriers and improving collaborative efficiency. When deviations or changes occur during the construction process, the design drawings and material lists can be updated in real time to ensure construction progress and quality control. Automatically generated node details and construction drawings can provide clear and accurate guidance for construction personnel, reducing construction errors caused by unclear understanding of the drawings. Combined with the material list and construction quotas, the construction progress and budget situation can be tracked in real time to avoid budget overruns or delays.

[0116] The method of comparing the consistency of the BIM model with the measured data at the construction site, installing sensors at key nodes, monitoring the operation status of the pipeline in real time, and updating the maintenance or replacement information to the BIM model is as follows:

[0117] Build a complete BIM model including pipelines, nodes, and equipment, embed the design information of each key node, including location, size, material, and number, and import the pipeline maintenance cycle, specification parameters, design flow, and drainage capacity as additional attributes into the BIM model;

[0118] Install multiple types of sensors at key inspection wells, pump stations, elbows, and branch pipe interfaces, including:

[0119] Flow sensor: monitors pipeline drainage flow;

[0120] Pressure sensor: monitors pressure changes and identifies blockage risks;

[0121] Water quality sensor: detects the concentration of pollutants in wastewater;

[0122] Temperature and vibration sensors: monitor pipeline operating environment;

[0123] Realize real-time sensor data collection and transmission through the IoT platform, unify the data format into a standard format compatible with the BIM model, bind the sensor data to the corresponding pipeline or node in the BIM model, and achieve data matching through the unique identifier RFID or QR code;

[0124] Combined with the set threshold range, abnormal situations are automatically detected:

[0125] Abnormal reduction in flow: there may be a blockage or leakage;

[0126] Abnormal increase in pressure: partial obstruction may occur;

[0127] Water quality exceeds the standard: indicating that there may be external pollution sources;

[0128] Mark the operating status of each node in the BIM model interface in the form of color or icon;

[0129] Automatically update the operating status in the BIM model based on real-time sensor data, including: updating pipeline flow, pressure, water quality attributes, marking nodes and pipe sections for repair or replacement;

[0130] The saved sensor monitoring historical operation data is compared with the design data in the BIM model to form a complete pipeline operation history archive.

[0131] By using sensors to monitor the flow, pressure, water quality and other parameters of the pipeline in real time, it is possible to detect abnormal conditions in the pipeline system, such as blockage, leakage, pollution, etc., and issue warnings in a timely manner. The operating status of the pipeline can be updated in real time through the BIM system, and managers can view the real-time operating status of the pipeline on the BIM interface at any time, so as to facilitate timely response measures. The data collected in real time by sensors can accurately determine which pipelines or nodes have failed, avoiding the uncertainty of traditional manual inspection methods. With the help of data-driven analysis, unnecessary maintenance or replacement work can be avoided, and the utilization rate of maintenance resources can be improved. The system will automatically update the operating status of the pipeline in the BIM model to form a complete historical data archive for later analysis and decision-making. The real-time monitoring system can issue warnings before abnormalities occur in the pipeline, take preventive measures, avoid sudden failures, and extend the service life of the pipeline system. Through the continuous accumulation of data, the system can accurately determine the operating status of the pipeline. BIM can help optimize the design, operation and maintenance strategies of pipelines by analyzing the trend of the status. Accurate fault detection and early warning can reduce unnecessary repair and replacement work, and reduce the operation and maintenance costs of pipeline systems. The combination of BIM and sensor data can help managers formulate reasonable operation and maintenance budgets and plans by understanding the operation status and maintenance needs of pipeline systems in real time. After the BIM model is combined with sensor data, all relevant departments (such as design, construction, operation and maintenance, etc.) can share real-time data, work together, and improve decision-making efficiency. BIM provides an integrated platform, and all pipeline design, construction, and operation data can be centrally managed to avoid data islands. The historical data monitored by sensors is combined with the design data of the BIM model to form a complete operation archive of the pipeline system, which is helpful for long-term tracking of pipeline health. Through the analysis of historical operation data, the design and management plans of the pipeline system can be optimized to improve the operation results of future projects.
