Support of site construction processes by product data technology
conference paper
In the last decade or so, design/engineering of building and construction projects is gradually incorporating advanced information technologies, like Product Data Technology (PDT). The main drive for this development comes from the demand for meaningful electronic communication between CAxx systems of various disciplines. Getting rid of the islands of automation and information improves both the design processes and the design results.
However islands of automation and information not only exist in design/engineering, but also in the realization phase. Moreover the design/engineering and the realization phases as a whole, are stilt very much isolated.
Now that in the foreseeable future main contractors will receive a complete product description, a product model; in electronic format, the question becomes important how PDT can support on-site construction.
This paper reports about a study into the question how to support construction site processes by (1) a standardized product model and (2) a library of standardized work method objects implementing information about construction processes. Initial results of a system_ that supports the construction site process visualization and simulation from an imported standardized product model
