Applications of Building Information Modelling for Water Infrastructure Development

An Analytical Investigation into the Water Film Dynamics at the Connection Lines of Highways and Urban Roadways

“…The thickness of the water film is influenced by many factors, such as tire tread design, load, speed, road surface slope, and road surface construction depth [6,7]. In recent studies, BIM is used as a digital tool in the infrastructure field, providing digital support in areas such as asphalt pavement design and management decisions for roads, intersection design and traffic analysis, and planning, modeling, analysis, and flood management of water supply and drainage networks [8][9][10][11]. CFD-related software, capable of providing multiphase flow models based on the finite volume method, can simulate and analyze fluid dynamics problems.…”

Application of BIM+GIS Integration Technology in the Construction of Urban Intelligent Water Informatization

“…The purpose is to reduce expenses and improve water quality while increasing the efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of urban water systems.To offer people of urban areas dependable, sustainable, and reasonably priced water services, urban intelligent water informatization aims to build a smart water infrastructure that can respond to changing environmental circumstances. This method may also aid in the prevention of climate change-related disasters in urban areas by way of real-time monitoring and early warning systems.The goal of urban intelligent water informatization is to make urban water systems more sustainable, efficient, and resilient by using cutting-edge technology in water management [7].Leaks in urban water supply networks may be fixed before they create significant interruptions due to the use of sensors by intelligent water management systems.Using the information on weather patterns and soil moisture, urban intelligent water management systems may optimize irrigation schedules, lowering water use and maximizing plant health.Encouraging water conservation with real-time data on water use and incentives for lower consumption with the help of urban intelligent water management systems and other non-potable purposes is made easier by urban intelligent water management systems, which relieves pressure on water supplies and increases water sustainability [8].Maintenance and repairs to the water system may be optimized by employing integrated BIM+GIS technology.When BIM and GIS are combined, water management as a whole may be enhanced. Water managers may get a deeper understanding of the patterns of water use and pinpoint problem areas with the use of real-time data from sensors and other monitoring equipment [9].In quickly developing metropolitan regions, where both the demand for and supply of fresh water are rising, urban intelligent water informatization offers a viable solution to addressing the issues of managing water resources.The environmental effect of an assignment may be assessed by employing BIM+GIS integration.…”
