Experience in Building Information Model (BIM) for Industrial Buildings

Purpose: To demonstrate the necessity of implementing a Building Information Model (BIM) throughout the life cycle of industrial buildings. Methods: At present, Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies have become a mandatory component at all stages of a building’s life cycle for various purposes, from design and construction to demolition. In this regard, this paper showcases the diverse range of practical BIM applications. Furthermore, it reveals the peculiarities of the approach to issues related to the design and reconstruction of industrial buildings, as well as alternatives for their redevelopment. Additionally, it analyses the documents that regulate BIM requirements. Finally, it presents a variant for realising a project using BIM development for an industrial object, and considers creating a digital model. Results: A methodology for developing an operational Building Information Modelling (BIM) process based on terrestrial laser scanning has been established. This includes architectural and construction solutions, technical documentation and others. Practical significance: The necessity and expediency of implementing BIM in the design, construction and reconstruction of industrial facilities is demonstrated using a specific example.
