Integrating BIM Technology in High-Rise Building Construction: Applications in Deep Foundation Optimization, Slipform Process Control, and Safety Management

The complexity of skyscraper construction has increased with urban densification and the growing demand for vertical infrastructure. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has emerged as a transformative tool to address coordination delays, safety risks, and rising costs. This study delves into the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in high-rise construction projects, with a focused examination of its role in optimizing foundation design, regulating slipform construction processes, and enhancing site safety management. It begins by outlining the structural and procedural characteristics of tall buildings and common operational challenges. BIMs role in supporting slipform construction is examined, highlighting benefits in scheduling, real-time quality control, and IoT integration. The research also assesses BIMs safety management capabilities, including risk analysis, evacuation planning, and safety training facilitation. Furthermore, the study demonstrates BIMs effectiveness in logistical planning, such as optimizing tower crane placement. Finally, the article discusses current barriers to widespread BIM adoption and proposes strategies for broader implementation. Findings confirm that BIM significantly improves decision-making, efficiency, and safety in high-rise construction.

Abstract

The complexity of skyscraper construction has increased with urban densification and the growing demand for vertical infrastructure. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has emerged as a transformative tool to address coordination delays, safety risks, and rising costs. This study delves into the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in high-rise construction projects, with a focused examination of its role in optimizing foundation design, regulating slipform construction processes, and enhancing site safety management. It begins by outlining the structural and procedural characteristics of tall buildings and common operational challenges. BIMs role in supporting slipform construction is examined, highlighting benefits in scheduling, real-time quality control, and IoT integration. The research also assesses BIMs safety management capabilities, including risk analysis, evacuation planning, and safety training facilitation. Furthermore, the study demonstrates BIMs effectiveness in logistical planning, such as optimizing tower crane placement. Finally, the article discusses current barriers to widespread BIM adoption and proposes strategies for broader implementation. Findings confirm that BIM significantly improves decision-making, efficiency, and safety in high-rise construction.
