BIM Horizontal Harmonization for BIM/GIS Integration – Celebration of BIM Achievement 2020 – Winner of BIM Projects 2020
Date of Award: 10/11/2020
We are delighted that a study entitled "BIM Horizontal Harmonization for BIM/GIS Integration" (the Study) was awarded with the BIM Projects 2020 in the Celebration of BIM Achievement 2020 organized by the Construction Industry Council.
The Study aims to formulate an aligned BIM guideline for the works departments (WDs) under the Development Bureau with the use of the BIM models under the First Phase Development of Kwu Tung North and Fanling North New Development Area to facilitate the information exchange among the WDs and the Lands Department.
Under the Study, a conversion engine will be developed for BIM/GIS integration by converting the BIM models to shareable ones in open BIM and GIS formats, which are able to support the future production of Common Spatial Data Infrastructure portal and 3D digital map under the Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong. A BIM data repository will also be established to store the BIM and GIS models under the Study for effective and efficient information exchange among the WDs and the Lands Department.
We hope that the findings of the Study could be extended to future capital works projects or even to the private projects to support the smart city development.
