Development of requirements for the BIM model of the Arctic port facilities exploitation

Abstract

The development of information modeling technologies for construction offers new tasks to develop operational models for facilities, which are locate in most difficult conditions, here an important example is the marine Arctic ports. To build a life cycle model, reliable long-time information about hydrometeorological conditions for the selected port facility is needed. It also requires accurate data on the design and past loads. We offer the basic methods for obtaining the initial data for operation BIM model subject to the technical and design documentation are absent, what is a common practice for old facilities. The main theses for development of information BIM model for a marine port’s facilities exploitation in the Arctic are proposed in this paper. At the initial stage of description of the structure life cycle, it is necessary to develop an electronic passport of the facility that would contain the basic geometric characteristics of the structures elements, the information about the applied materials and their physical and mechanical properties, coordinates of the plan and deformation geodetic network in the digital format. At the next stage, it is necessary to provide automated monitoring for measuring the main parameters of loads, deformations and climatic conditions, which in combination ensure the safety of the port’s structures.
