BIM in the assessment of labor protection.
Magazine of Civil Engineering . 2017. No. 1. Pp. 77–88. doi: 10.18720/MCE.69.7
In Russian literature there are a large number of sources on training with the BIM tools but,
unfortunately, there are not enough publications on use of these technologies for the purpose of increase
in safe engineering and labor protection [3, 42].
Transition to BIM technologies in assessment of a condition of labor protection and safe
engineering on the building site is the perspective and effective direction development of all construction
production.
The purpose of this article is to show a possibility of digitization of the major dangerous and
harmful production factors by types of installation and construction works according to MDS 12-28.2006
"A methodical management on carrying out an expert evaluation of safety of non-stationary workplaces
on construction places" [43] using BIM technology for assessment of a condition of labor protection and
safe engineering.
Methods BIM is the cornerstone three-dimensional information model of future project in which the major
characteristics (material) and physical parameters (the geometrical sizes) of the materials used in case of
a construction and future operation of an object are laid. BIM-technology is the information platform on
which additional technologies and opportunities are imposed.
BIM technologies are made on the basis of three-dimensional modeling of an object. Three-
dimensional modeling of the object or the analyzed site, such as, the building site allows to divide it into
separate parts and to allocate borders for assessment of the situation on safe engineering and labor
protection. The valuation principle is linked with splitting of the researched object into elementary sites up
to 100 m
2
. At this stage it is important to research the most dangerous production factors which will be
exposed to the analysis.
As the software product, the Autodesk Navisworks Simulate which supports these technologies is
applied, however it isn't capable to make the analysis of labor protection and safe engineering
independently therefore it is required to supplement its functionality with the program superstructure
called the PLUGIN.
Developing the new program module (PLUGIN), we set in it the key parameters, namely: name of
dangerous production factors and algorithm of calculation of these factors. The PLUGIN with the set
algorithm helps to digitize the researched object and to receive a resulting effect.
All dangerous production factors are collected in a 3D model and tied to a certain site as it was
noted above, up to 100 m
2
. In turn supervisory authorities when bypassing the checked object by means
of Tablet computers on which this software supporting 3D is installed will be able visually to estimate
each checked elementary site and to enter data into the program module PLUGIN. In case of a bypass of
the building site, the inspector gives marks opposite of each dangerous production factor in columns
"Right" and "Wrong". After entering the data, the program module processes each of the checked
dangerous production factors and shows the final number expressed as a percentage or in unit fractions.
Conclusion of results is made in the Excel format in the form of the Table where numbers of the checked
sites shall be specified, as well as the quantity of marks "right", "wrong" and the most important general
security index.
