Bim Application in the Operation and Maintenance Management of a Sports Infrastructure

Abstract

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) stage is the most expensive phase during the life cycle of a building. Currently, much of the information used in there is still paper-based and is delivered to the owner months after the facilities are in use. Therefore, it is necessary to study the interaction between Lean principles and Building Information Modeling(BIM) Functionalities in the building during O&M phase to optimize resources. This paper proposes a BIM-FM workflow and compares it with traditional Facility Management in a Peruvian sports infrastructure. The case study was Aquatic Center for the XVIII Pan-American Games and VI Parapan-American Games Lima 2019. The sport infrastructure was designed and built under an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) environment applying BIM methodology until the construction phase. The main difference found is that proposed BIM-FM workflow improves the efficiencies of the workforce for accessing to accuracy and complete information about Facility's components. Finally, the paper presents barriers in the BIM-FM implementation evidenced in the case study.

Application of BIM Implementation Process in the Operation and Maintenance of Information Management System in Building Facilities

“…The nature of BIM allows and expects that new technologies have to be implemented to achieve the true potential of BIM, the characteristic of BIM is close connection to information and communication technologies thus challenges in traditional operation of FM O&M of building facilities. According to Gustav (2014) andTulenheimo (2015), the implementation of a number of regulations and guidelines are neglected during procurement and acquisition of products and services that are used for FM O&M and this pose a serious challenge to the operation in building facilities. Tijani et al (2016), however, refuted that the challenge of FM O&M is the issue of maintenance strategies.…”

“…Building Information Modelling (BIM) is considered by many to offer a solution to the problematic information handling within facility management (Hardin, 2011;Eastman et al, 2011). BIM offers the opportunity to streamline the information handling during a building life cycle and thereby improves the building information quality in the facility management phase (Gustav, 2014). Hardin (2010) argued that BIM is not just an information modelling software using three-dimensional intelligent models, but also, it is a tool for making significant changes in the workflow and project delivery processes.…”

The 7D BIM Model Used in the Estimation of the Useful Life of Façade Materials

“…The construction industry has been progressively incorporating the implementation of BIM methodology, supported by the permanent dissemination of its benefits recognised in reports and in recent technologic advances [1]. This methodology reveals a new and different way of working in the construction sector when compared to traditional methods based on two-dimensional (2D) technical documents.…”

Building Information Modelling Facility Management (BIM-FM)

“…Whilst the assumed values of BIM-FM are numerous, there is currently a lack of case studies presenting tangible evidence for these [51]. For example, Dlesk et al [52] suggest BIM and FM are not yet fully integrated because there is not yet much legislation mandating the use of BIM in FM, which may explain the lack of practical case studies.…”

“…Insufficient data exchange formats[5,10,54];• A lack of standards including defined information requirements and required level of development[8,11,24,41,44,49,51,52,55];•High costs for both the software and staff training[14,46,47,50,[55][56][57][58][59].…”
