Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of project monitoring and prediction technology, and in particular to a method for early warning and response to schedule risks in electromechanical projects based on BIM. Background Technology

[0002] Mechanical and electrical installation projects involve multiple disciplines (water supply and drainage, electrical, HVAC, fire protection, etc.), complex pipelines, and densely intersecting spaces. Schedule risks are easily caused by factors such as design conflicts, inefficient construction coordination, and delayed resource supply. During the construction of mechanical and electrical projects, schedule management faces multiple challenges. Traditional methods rely on two-dimensional drawings and manual experience, which have the following problems: Data fragmentation across design, construction, and operation and maintenance stages leads to delays in design changes, frequent on-site conflicts such as pipeline collisions and insufficient equipment installation space, affecting construction progress, creating information silos and insufficient collaboration. At the same time, construction plans are mostly based on experience and lack dynamic monitoring methods, making it difficult to cope with sudden risks.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new BIM-based method for early warning and response to schedule risks in electromechanical projects to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a BIM-based method for early warning and response to schedule risks in electromechanical projects. The BIM-based method for early warning of schedule risks in electromechanical projects provided by this invention includes the following steps: Step 1: Dynamic BIM Model Creation: Import the electromechanical engineering design model into the BIM software of the BIM platform, assign a unique ID to each component, and label the construction logic attributes, including installation sequence, process dependencies, resource requirements, and planned completion time. Step 2: Risk Factor Quantification: Based on the BIM model, design risks, resource risks, and process risks are extracted, and risk scores are calculated for each. The total risk is then quantified through weighted summation. Step 3: Real-time data fusion: Collect location data of construction personnel and equipment through IoT sensors and link it with the BIM model to update the process completion rate and resource distribution status in real time; Step 4: Dynamic Risk Warning: Update the risk score based on real-time construction data and compare it with the preset threshold to trigger a warning. Highlight the risk area and push the warning to relevant personnel.

[0005] A further method, wherein the dynamic BIM model establishment includes the following steps: Component attribute labeling: Assign a unique ID to each component and bind it to construction parameters; By using BIM software to link the construction plan with the model, construction process animations are generated, and critical paths and construction stages are highlighted.

[0006] A further method for calculating the risk score includes the following steps: Risk weights are dynamically adjusted based on the project stage. Risk level classification: Establish three risk levels: high, medium, and low.

[0007] A further method, the real-time data fusion includes the following steps: Environmental factor data collection: Temperature, humidity and wind speed data are collected through meteorological sensors and linked to the construction plan. If extreme weather affects the critical path, one point is added to the risk score. Equipment status monitoring: Collect data on the operating status of construction machinery and predict potential failures.

[0008] A further method, the risk warning method, also includes overlaying the BIM model onto a GIS map, analyzing the impact of the surrounding environment of the construction area on the progress, combining GIS data to predict the impact of environmental factors on the construction progress, and dynamically adjusting the risk score.

[0009] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for managing schedule risks in MEP (Mechanical and Electrical) projects based on BIM, the method comprising the following steps: Step 1: Adaptive optimization strategy generation: Use the random forest model to predict the risk evolution trend, generate optimization strategies, synchronize the optimized construction plan to the risk response strategy library of the BIM platform, and verify the effectiveness of the strategies; Step 2, BIM Collaborative Modification: Use Revit's BIM software to directly modify the model, update conflicting pipeline locations, or adjust process logic; Step 3: Dynamically adjust resources: Dynamically allocate human and equipment resources based on risk score priorities; Step 4: Multi-dimensional collaborative execution: Synchronize the modified model data to the construction management system via the BIM platform's API, and notify on-site personnel of change instructions via mobile devices to ensure consistent execution.

[0010] A further method, wherein the optimization strategy generation includes the following steps: Machine learning prediction: Train a random forest model, input historical construction data and current risk scores, and predict future risk evolution trends; Develop strategy generation rules: design risk, resource risk, and process risk rules. Design risk rules adjust pipeline routing or add supports. Resource risk rules allocate and use work teams or optimize equipment usage plans. Process risk rules allow for parallel construction or increase resource input.

[0011] A further method for training the random forest model includes the following steps: Data preprocessing: Standardizing historical construction data and real-time BIM data; Model training: The risk prediction model is trained using the random forest algorithm. Input features include design risk score, resource gap ratio, and process delay days. Model validation: Model performance was evaluated using the area under the ROC curve and the F1 score.

[0012] A further method involves generating a new version of the model after each BIM collaborative modification, and recording the modifier, modification time, and modification content. If the optimization strategy is ineffective, it rolls back to the historical version and regenerates the risk score.

[0013] A further method, the construction of the risk response strategy library includes the following steps: Pre-set response strategies for common risks and store them in JSON format; The system automatically matches strategies based on the current risk type, generates execution instructions, and pushes them to the BIM platform.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the BIM-based method for early warning and response to schedule risks in electromechanical projects provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By combining BIM models and sensor data, design, resource, and process risks are quantified through weighted formulas to achieve dynamic updates of risk scores and multi-dimensional risk quantification. By constructing a digital model of the construction site, the physical construction status is mapped in real time, and the effectiveness of optimization strategies is verified through 4D simulation of time and space dimensions. After the optimization strategies are generated, it is possible to quickly verify whether they reduce construction conflicts and schedule delays.

[0015] 2. This invention collects construction site data through GPS and personnel positioning devices, associates it with the BIM model, monitors the completion rate of processes and the distribution status of resources in real time, realizes real-time data fusion, avoids the formation of information silos and insufficient collaboration, and when the threshold is exceeded, the system automatically triggers an early warning and pushes it to the operation and maintenance personnel.

[0016] 3. This invention solves the problems of information silos, delayed response, and resource waste in traditional management by dynamically identifying, accurately warning, and intelligently responding to construction progress risks, and significantly improves the construction efficiency, cost control capabilities, and quality and safety levels of electromechanical projects.
