Developing Visualized Schedules for Plant Information Modeling

摘要: As of November 2012, the Alberta government listed 53 oil and gas, sands, mining construction projects either proposed or currently under construction. These industrial plant have an estimated value greater than 105 million dollars. A common method employed for is fast-track construction, which used to reduce time. Contractors begin with highly generic scheduling information. This high level schedule turns into a lower as more detailed information becomes available. From contractor’s perspective, challenge faced using visualization constantly changing project schedules. paper discusses use Plant Information Modeling (PIM) system, designed create 4D animation visualize schedules projects. The PIM system creates modified by obtaining specific from schedule. Obtaining involves grouping activities in accordance detail 3D model, then conjunction model simulate sequence form animation. allows activities, installation dates, crane movements. Furthermore, engineering reaches completion, streamlined channel updates be easily uploaded accurate visualization. Through analyzing nonmodular case study, this successes benefits visualization, such increased productivity, shortened time, constructability, decreased field costs.
